Zerolag KAMA MACD

Jan 19, 2019

Experimental Zero Lag Adjusted KAMA based MACD.

Uses Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) instead of the standard EMAs to calculate the MACD with an optional application of the zero lag adjustment.

Significant differences in momentum changes (zero line crossovers), often earlier signal line crossovers and differences in divergences.

Release Notes

Experiments show it does often react sooner, with valid signals. However it's at the expense of more noise/false signals compared to the standard MACD.

These settings seem to be roughly the equivalent of the standard MACD settings of 26/12/9
