The Patreon moving average (PMA) is an adaptive moving average specifically designed to provide an optimal fit with the price while having a minimum amount of lag. The PMA can act as a fast-moving average for moving averages crossover system, detect trends, and filter out noisy variations from the price. The PMA is simple to use and interpret, and can be a really nice addition to your strategies, especially if they are based on moving averages.
The PMA integrates alerts based on the trend direction detected by the PMA.
Settings
Length: Determine the degree of filtering of the PMA.
Factor: Determine the sensitivity of the PMA to price variations, with higher values making the PMA less sensitive to price variations.
Decay: When higher than 0, introduce progressive smoothing, values closer to 0 return a faster progressive smoothing.
Src: Source input of the indicator.
Detect Trends With The PMA
The color of the PMA is related to the detected trend, with a blue color associated with an up-trend and a red color associated with a down-trend.
Higher values of Factor allows us to spot longer-term trends as well as filtering retracement in a trend.
Lower values of Length can also be used with higher values of Factor, this combination allows the PMA to actually be way less sensitive to price variations, thus returning less false signals while keeping a good fit with the price.
PMA As A Fast Moving Average
The PMA tries to provide crosses with a slow-moving average at the exact moment price cross the slow MA while minimizing the number of false signals.
PMA (In blue), EMA (in green), and SMA as a slow-moving average (in red), the PMA provide faster crosses while returning less false signals.
Progressive Smoothing
Progressive smoothing is obtained by using the Decay setting and allows the PMA to fit the price during extremely volatile markets and allows to preserve the structure of higher high's and lower low's.
Progressive smoothing can also minimize false signals.
In green/orange the PMA without progressive smoothing, in blue/red the PMA with progressive smoothing.
Finally progressive smoothing can give predictive and accurate estimates of the price central tendency
In green the mean of the price with a window size equal to the period the PMA is red, we can see that the PMA converges toward it extremely fast.

Dear @alexgrover, thank you very much for the script. I'm trying to use your script to generate buy/sell signals but I'm struggling at the moment. How would you use it to recognize the buy and sell signals? Thanks a lot.
