The Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA) technical indicator was developed in 2026. This indicator is constructed based on the algorithm of the Fractal Adaptive Moving Average, in which the smoothing factor is calculated based on the current fractal dimension of the price series. The advantage of FRAMA is its ability to follow strong trend movements and slow down during price consolidation.Also recommended: Volatility Regime Shader: Adaptive Volatility Classification for MT4/MT5 - similar indicator with strong performance on MetaTrader 5.
Using FRAMA for MACD calculation can be challenging without additional steps. This indicator introduces an additional smoothing factor to align the Fractal Adaptive MACD with the expected behavior of MACD-type indicators.
Without smoothing, the indicator can be 'nervous' due to its adaptive nature, reacting too quickly when a lag is expected. A Super Smoother is applied for smoothing to achieve a smoother result with minimal lag. The signal line in this indicator is also a FRAMA, making it an 'all FRAMA MACD' indicator.
