  The AMA stands for adaptive moving average. Plug 
  Kaufman AMA into a search window and find out something about it. 
  
  You simply plot it over the price, just like any other moving 
  average. When it's flat, there is no trend. Nothing gets easier than this. 
  
  If this don't solve your problem. I don't have anything else that 
  will either. You may be stuck with never knowing the trend. Try Elliot 
  Waves.

  tried boll. bad with of ama but still couldnt find it valuable. the only 
  thing i may see is the contraria trading, that is if prices are 
  consolidating wait for some volatility to come, but it is of course 
  observable when you monitor the prices or draw a support/ressistace 
  manually. i added a mov avg to the ama still there are swings, maybe if we 
  optimize... what do you say? but still that would make it a normal trigger.
