Using an Adaptive Moving Average to Modify RSI

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

The document describes an RSI variant that uses an Adaptive Moving Average (AMA), attributed to Vitali Apirine. It gives two intended reasons for changing the calculation: filter out insignificant price moves and reduce the flattening of RSI values that can occur with longer calculation periods.

The text says the modified indicator can be used like other RSI-based indicators, but it does not explain the calculation, define parameters, provide signals, or show chart examples or performance evidence. As a result, it introduces the motivation and intended use of RSI of AMA but does not provide enough detail to reproduce or assess the method. Traders would need a fuller specification and independent testing before relying on it.

Key ideas

  • The indicator applies an Adaptive Moving Average in an RSI calculation.
  • Its stated aims are to filter insignificant price changes and address flattening with longer RSI periods.
  • The document says it can be used similarly to other RSI indicators.
  • No formula, parameter settings, examples, or performance evidence are provided.
