I don't quite understand the buy-sell trigger that you are using. Are 
you using an AMA10 crossover of the AMA20? Or something else? 

Many thanks,
Grizz

By the way, 
I found an Adaptive Moving Average Binary Wave that looks very 
interesting.. Here it is:

{Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average Binary Wave }
Periods := Input("Time Periods",1,1000, 10);
Direction := CLOSE - Ref(Close,-periods);
Volatility := Sum(Abs(ROC(CLOSE,1,$)),periods);
ER := Abs(Direction/Volatility);
FastSC := 2/(2 + 1);
SlowSC := 2/(30 + 1);
SSC := ER * (FastSC - SlowSC) + SlowSC;
Constant := Pwr(SSC,2);
AMA := If(Cum(1) = periods +1, ref(Close,-1)+ constant * (CLOSE- ref
(Close,-1)),Prev + constant * (CLOSE - PREV));
FilterPercent := Input("Filter Percentage",0,100,15)/100;
Filter := FilterPercent * Std(AMA - Ref(AMA,-1),Periods);
AMALow := If(AMA < Ref(AMA,-1),AMA,PREV);
AMAHigh := If(AMA > Ref(AMA,-1),AMA,PREV);
If(AMA - AMALow > Filter, 1 {Buy Signal},If(AMAHigh - AMA > Filter, -
1 {Sell Signal}, 0 {No_Signal}))
