Parameters:
period
- The period used for calculations.
dimension
- The amplitude of price movement in points.
Calculation:
if abs(fr - fr(dimension)) < lag:
aml = prevaml
otherwise:
aml = fr
where:
alpha = exp(-1.0 * dimension * (dim - 1.0)) ranging from 0.01 to 1.0
if r1+r2 > 0 and r3 > 0:
dim = 1.44269504088896 * (log(r1+r2) - log(r3))
otherwise:
dim = 0
r1 - (maximum price - minimum price within the period from the current price) / period
r2 - (maximum price - minimum price within the period from i+period) / period
