Semaphore Indicator Crossing a Moving Average with Kaufman’s Adaptive Average

Summary

This short indicator description introduces a semaphore signal based on crossings between a conventional moving average and Kaufman’s Adaptive Moving Average (AMA). It identifies the indicator as an MQL4 work and notes that the original version was published in 2008. The core concept is to use the crossover of a standard average and an adaptive average as a signal marker.

The document does not specify the moving-average periods, AMA settings, signal timing, or how a trader should enter or exit positions. It provides no market, backtest, or performance evidence, so it establishes the indicator’s basic construction but not its predictive value or suitability for a particular strategy. Any use would require further details and independent validation.

Key ideas

• The indicator marks crossings between a classical moving average and Kaufman’s adaptive moving average.
• It is described as a semaphore-style signal indicator.
• The source gives no parameter settings, trading rules, or performance evidence.
