Ahrens Moving Average Convergence Divergence Parameters

Summary

The Ahrens Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator adapts the MACD framework by using Ahrens moving averages in place of the conventional moving-average components. It exposes three inputs: the period for the fast Ahrens average, the period for the slow Ahrens average, and the signal-line period. The indicator calculates its Ahrens averages internally, so users do not need to load a separate Ahrens moving-average indicator to use it.

This description clarifies the indicator’s construction at a high level and the inputs needed to configure it. It gives no formula for the Ahrens average, crossover rules, parameter recommendations, market examples, or test results. As a result, it explains what the indicator requires, but does not establish whether it offers an advantage over standard MACD or how its signals should be traded. Any application would require separate validation and risk controls.

Key ideas

• The indicator applies the MACD structure to Ahrens moving averages.
• Its inputs specify fast-average, slow-average, and signal-line periods.
• The indicator computes the Ahrens averages internally.
• The description gives no trading rules, performance evidence, or parameter guidance.
