NonLagAMA: A Smoothed Moving Average That Changes Color with Trend Direction

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

NonLagAMA is described as a heavily processed moving-average indicator with configurable smoothing and price inputs. Its displayed color changes when the direction of the trend changes, making the indicator a visual way to follow directional movement. The listed settings include the averaging depth, deviation and filter parameters, smoothing method and length, phase, applied price, and horizontal or vertical shifts.

The document gives parameter names and brief descriptions, but it does not explain the calculation in enough detail to reproduce or assess the indicator from the text alone. It also supplies no performance results, comparison with other averages, or rules for entering and exiting trades. The implementation history and dependency on smoothing-algorithm classes provide context for its software use, not evidence that it predicts prices or improves a strategy.

Key ideas

  • NonLagAMA is presented as a processed moving-average indicator with multiple smoothing settings.
  • Its color changes when the indicator's trend direction changes.
  • Users can configure the input price, averaging depth, smoothing method, phase, filter, and display shifts.
  • The document does not provide performance testing or a complete calculation specification.
  • The indicator's description alone does not establish a trading rule or predictive advantage.
