G-FRAMA | QuantEdgeB

Introducing G-FRAMA by QuantEdgeB

Overview
The Gaussian FRAMA (G-FRAMA) is an adaptive trend-following indicator that leverages the power of Fractal Adaptive Moving Averages (FRAMA), enhanced with a Gaussian filter for noise reduction and an ATR-based dynamic band for trade signal confirmation. This combination results in a highly responsive moving average that adapts to market volatility while filtering out insignificant price movements.

1. Key Features

- 📈 Gaussian Smoothing – Utilizes a Gaussian filter to refine price input, reducing short-term noise while maintaining responsiveness.
- 📊 Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA) – A self-adjusting moving average that adapts its sensitivity to market trends.
- 📉 ATR-Based Volatility Bands – Dynamic upper and lower bands based on the Average True Range (ATR), improving signal reliability.
- ⚡ Adaptive Trend Signals – Automatically detects shifts in market structure by evaluating price in relation to FRAMA and its ATR bands.

2. How It Works

- Gaussian Filtering
The Gaussian function preprocesses the price data, giving more weight to recent values and smoothing fluctuations. This reduces whipsaws and allows the FRAMA calculation to focus on meaningful trend developments.

- Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA)
Unlike traditional moving averages, FRAMA uses fractal dimension calculations to adjust its smoothing factor dynamically. In trending markets, it reacts faster, while in sideways conditions, it reduces sensitivity, filtering out noise.

- ATR-Based Volatility Bands
ATR is applied to determine upper and lower thresholds around FRAMA:
- 🔹 Long Condition: Price closes above FRAMA + ATR*Multiplier
- 🔻 Short Condition: Price closes below FRAMA - ATR

This setup ensures entries are volatility-adjusted, preventing premature exits or false signals in choppy conditions.

3. Use Cases

✔ Adaptive Trend Trading – Automatically adjusts to different market conditions, making it ideal for both short-term and long-term traders.
✔ Noise-Filtered Entries – Gaussian smoothing prevents false breakouts, allowing for cleaner entries.
✔ Breakout & Volatility Strategies – The ATR bands confirm valid price movements, reducing false signals.
✔ Smooth but Aggressive Shorts – While the indicator is smooth in overall trend detection, it reacts aggressively to downside moves, making it well-suited for traders focusing on short opportunities.

4. Customization Options

- Gaussian Filter Settings – Adjust length & sigma to fine-tune the smoothness of the input price. (Default: Gaussian length = 4, Gaussian sigma = 2.0, Gaussian source = close)
- FRAMA Length & Limits – Modify how quickly FRAMA reacts to price changes.(Default: Base FRAMA = 20, Upper FRAMA Limit = 8, Lower FRAMA Limit = 40)
- ATR Multiplier – Control how wide the volatility bands are for long/short entries.(Default: ATR Length = 14, ATR Multiplier = 1.9)
- Color Themes – Multiple visual styles to match different trading environments.

Conclusion

The G-FRAMA is an intelligent trend-following tool that combines the adaptability of FRAMA with the precision of Gaussian filtering and volatility-based confirmation. It is versatile across different timeframes and asset classes, offering traders an edge in trend detection and trade execution.
