What It Does

DMA is a Dickson-style moving average variant that adapts smoothing characteristics to market behavior.

Formula

DMA is a custom moving average blend using period, gain limit, and harmonic period settings.

Parameters

  • period - default 30
  • gainlimit - default 50
  • hperiod - default 7
  • _movav - default EMA
  • _hma - default HMA

C++23 API

#include <nonabt/indicators/dma.hpp>
auto dma = std::make_unique<nonabt::DMA>(data().close(), 30, 50, 7, "EMA", "HMA");

Common Usage

  • Use DMA as an adaptive trend line.
  • Combine it with price crossovers.
  • Helpful where you want custom smoothing behavior.

Practical Pattern

DMA is typically used as the center of a trend-following or envelope-style setup.
