Step VHF Adaptive VMA - MetaTrader 5 Script | Trading Script Download - MT4/MT5 Resources

VMA (Variable Moving Average) is often mistakenly confused with VIDYA (Volatile Index Dynamic Average), which is not surprising since Tushar Chande was involved in the development of both. However, VMA predates VIDYA and should not be mistaken for VMA. The original VMA calculation formula is as follows:

VMA = (α * VI * price) + ((1 – ( α * VI )) * VMA[1])

α = 2 / (N + 1)

VI = User-selected measure of volatility or trend strength.

N = user-selected constant smoothing period.

About this version:

As its name suggests, this version adds two options and a few changes.

The VMA itself is a "good candidate" for this type of filtering because it tends to produce long periods of close to horizontal values ​​when market volatility is low, so when step filtering is applied to it, the small slope changes that occur with the semi-EMA calculation will be filtered out and the signal becomes more useful.

You can use color changes as signals. Some attempts to use step size (as this version uses a step size based on the number of points entered by the user).
