Reducing RSI Adaptive EMA Signal Noise with Double Smoothing

Summary

The note describes a double-smoothed version of an RSI-adaptive exponential moving average. Its motivation is that the responsive original can produce too many slope changes, which may translate into frequent signals. The proposed variant applies double smoothing, with the stated aim of retaining responsiveness while producing a smoother line and fewer disruptive changes.

The author characterizes the modified average as faster and smoother than the regular version and suggests using it like other moving averages. No formula, parameter settings, chart examples, market tests, or performance measurements are provided. The claimed speed and smoothness therefore remain qualitative, and the text does not establish whether the modification improves trading outcomes or how it behaves across assets and timeframes.

Key ideas

• The indicator adapts an EMA using RSI-related information.
• The regular responsive version can produce frequent slope-change signals.
• Double smoothing is presented as a way to make the line smoother while staying responsive.
• The indicator is intended for use like other moving averages.
• No settings or empirical performance evidence are supplied.
