MAMA by EHLERS

MESA Adaptive Moving Average aka: Mother of Adaptive Moving Averages:

The MESA Adaptive Moving Average ( MAMA ) adapts to price movement in an
entirely new and unique way. The adapation is based on the rate change of phase as
measured by the Hilbert Transform Discriminator I have previously described.1

The advantage of this method of adaptation is that it features a fast attack average and a
slow decay average so that composite average rapidly ratchets behind price changes
and holds the average value until the next ratchet occurs. The action of MAMA is
shown in Figure 1. Since the average fallback is slow I can build trading systems that
are virtually free of whipsaw trades.
