Adaptive Price Zone (APZ) for Amibroker (AFL)

trading system, amibroker

In “Trading With An Adaptive Price Zone,” author Lee Leibfarth presents a trading technique that uses adaptive bands based on the double-smoothed exponential moving average and the classic ADX indicator.

Implementing the adaptive price zone technique using AmiBroker Formula Language is easy and straightforward. Listing 1 shows ready-to-use code. The formula is for both the indicator and the trading system.

Screenshot shows a daily price chart of the S&P 500 continuous contract with adaptive price zone bands and trade entry/exit arrows (upper pane) and the ADX indicator (lower pane).
