Volatility-Adaptive Moving Average | TR
📝 Overview
This indicator combines a volatility-adaptive moving average with dynamic period adjustment, creating a responsive trend-following system that automatically adjusts to changing market conditions.
The core concept is simple yet powerful: when volatility increases, the moving average becomes more responsive; when volatility decreases, it smooths out – reducing lag while filtering out noise.
⚙️ Key Features

🔄 Dynamic Period Adjustment
Period changes automatically based on volatility ratio

🔧 How It Works
