We all know the MACD Oscillator as it is one of the most covered technical Indicators out there. It is used by many analysts and traders due to its simplicity and popularity. It is basically the difference between two exponential moving averages. But what if we use another type of moving averages? Like the very useful Adaptive moving averages. In this article, we will create the Adaptive MACD and see whether it beats the regular MACD or not.

I have just published a new book after the success of New Technical Indicators in Python. It features a more complete description and addition of complex trading strategies with a Github page dedicated to the continuously updated code.
