The Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA) is a technical indicator developed by John Eulers. It is not as well known as the simple moving average (SMA) and other common types of moving averages, but it does have some interesting features.
This moving average is constructed based on the EMA (Exponential Moving Average) algorithm, in such a way that the smoothing factor is calculated based on the current fractal dimension of the price series. The advantage of FRAMA over other moving averages is that it can follow strong trend movements but at the same time is able to react more slowly in periods of market consolidation.
All types of analysis with moving averages can be used with this indicator. Additionally, the FRAMA moving average can be used in the same trading strategies that traditional moving averages are normally used, including strategies based on moving average crossovers.
