The Fractal Adaptive Moving Average aka FRAMA is a particularly clever indicator. It uses the Fractal Dimension of stock prices to dynamically adjust its smoothing period. These moving averages follow the logic of most moving averages, except for the fact that they take the cyclical pattern of the market into account. Therefore, false trading signals (when there is no trend) are less likely to occur. If anything, these averages are quite interesting to study.
