Momentum-adaptive MA that scales responsiveness dynamically based on normalized price deviation.


Alpha adjusts based on deviation strength rather than fixed periods, becoming fast and reactive during trends while remaining smooth and stable during consolidation with zero-lag breakout response.

SuperSmoother 2-pole filter for noise elimination, RMS normalization ensuring consistent behavior across volatility regimes, smart early-bar handling with EMA fallback for stable initialization, automatic alpha calculation (0.001-0.999 range), and single period parameter configuration deliver adaptive trend tracking for traders needing responsiveness in directional markets without whipsaws during consolidation.

Deviation-Scaled MA adapts dynamically to volatility, reacting faster in active markets and smoothing out in quieter ones. A clean, stable, and responsive trend tool that outperforms classic EMA/SMA in shifting conditions. Great for scalping and swing filters alike. Alerts and trend-color modes would make it even stronger.
