KAMA

Description​

The KAMA (Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average) worker calculates the exponential moving average KAMA based on a list of prices. This indicator is commonly used in financial markets to gauge the direction and strength of market trends.

What does this worker do?​

This worker takes a list of prices and a time period as input, and returns the KAMA values for the given prices. The KAMA is a type of moving average that adapts to the volatility of the market, making it a useful tool for traders and analysts.

How to interpret the results​

The KAMA values returned by this worker can be used to:

  • Identify trends: When the KAMA is rising, it indicates an uptrend, and when it's falling, it indicates a downtrend.
  • Generate signals: Crossovers between the KAMA and other moving averages or price levels can be used to generate buy or sell signals.

Parameters​

The following parameters can be passed to the KAMA worker:
