The AMkA Trend Forex Indicator is a modified version of Kaufman’s Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA).
As known, Kaufman’s Adaptive Moving Average is designed to smooth price series with minimal noise sensitivity while maintaining low lag—making it highly effective for identifying the trend.
The AMkA indicator enhances KAMA by adding signal dots directly on the moving average line. These dots are plotted based on standard deviation thresholds.
The logic behind the signal dots is as follows: during sideways (flat) market conditions, the AMkA line remains nearly horizontal and no signal dots appear. When a directional trend emerges—strong enough to exceed the standard deviation threshold—colored dots appear on the line. These serve as entry or exit signals for trades.

FAQ
How does the AMkA indicator generate trading signals?
It plots colored dots on the adaptive moving average line when price movement exceeds a standard deviation threshold — indicating potential trend strength and direction.
Is AMkA suitable for ranging markets?
No — it suppresses signals during flat conditions (no dots appear), helping avoid false entries in sideways price action.
Can AMkA be used as a standalone strategy?
Yes, but best results come when combined with additional confirmation (e.g., volume, momentum filters, or support/resistance levels).
