Moving Average Smoothness Benchmark

24. Dez. 2018

Hey there!

This tool will help you to choose a moving average/filter that has the lowest lag throughout the whole history for the specified period.

What does it do?
It calculates the mean absolute errors for each moving average or filter and shows histogram with results. The lower error the lower lag of the moving average.
So, the best average will be at the end of the list of labels on the chart.

Settings
The main setting is a period for all moving averages.
Additionally, it allows to customize some multi-parametric moving average such as JMA, ALMA, McGinley Dynamic, Tillson's T3, REMA, Adaptive Laguerre Filter, Hampel Filter, Recursive Median Filter and Middle-High-Low MA.

NOTE: The results may vary on the different tickers and timeframes. This tool measures the performances on the current ticker and on the current timeframe.
