Adaptive Jump Moving Average
Adaptive Jump Moving Average - Description
This indicator solves the classic moving average lag problem during significant price moves. Traditional MAs (like the 200-day) take forever to catch up after a major drop or rally because they average across all historical periods equally.
How it works:
Tracks price smoothly during normal market conditions
When price moves 20%+ away from the MA, it immediately "resets" to the current price level
Treats that new level as the baseline and continues smooth tracking from there
Advantages over normal MA:
No lag on major moves: A 40% crash doesn't get diluted over 200 days - the MA instantly adapts
Reduces false signals: You won't get late "death cross" signals months after a crash already happened
Better support/resistance: The MA stays relevant to current price action instead of reflecting outdated levels
Keeps the smoothness: During normal volatility, it behaves like a traditional MA without the noise of shorter periods
