Description
Minibull AMA Sniper is a precision trend-following indicator built around two Kaufman Adaptive Moving Averages (KAMA) and a unique Slope Confirmation filter that cuts down on false signals during choppy, low-momentum markets.
How it works
The indicator plots two adaptive moving averages β a slow one (AMA200) that defines the dominant trend, and a fast one (AMA9) that tracks near-term momentum. A signal fires only when price closes decisively on one side of both averages:
- BUY β price closes above both AMAs
- SELL β price closes below both AMAs
- NEUTRAL β price is caught between them.
What sets AMA Sniper apart is its Slope Confirmation filter: even when price crosses both averages, the signal is only confirmed if the moving average's own slope agrees with the direction of the move. This single filter is what separates a genuine trend shift from a temporary spike β and it's the difference between "sniping" a real move and getting whipsawed by noise.
Key Features
- Two independently configurable Kaufman Adaptive Moving Averages (length, fast/slow EMA constants)
- Slope Confirmation filter with separate Swing and Scalp presets
- Auto-Mode: automatically switches between Swing settings (Daily and above) and Scalp settings (below Daily) based on your chart's timeframe β or set it manually
- Fully non-repainting: every signal is calculated strictly from closed-bar data and locked in permanently β nothing is recalculated or moved after the fact
- Automatic historical signal backfill β see how the indicator would have performed the moment you attach it, no waiting required
- Clean on-chart info panel showing live mode, signal state, and both AMA values
- Optional sound alerts on new confirmed signals
- Works on any symbol and timeframe
Who it's for..
Traders who want a trend indicator that stays quiet during ranging markets and speaks up only when both momentum and structure agree β swing traders on Daily+ charts, and scalpers on intraday charts, using the same core logic tuned to each style.
