One technique is to simultaneously calculate the "indicator" for
several lengths and have some code to determine which of the several
values has been doing better for the past several minutes, hours,
days, months, etc.
You can then have the code use this value for your trading.
This generates some interesting backtesting issues but should
accomplish what you want.
