Hi All, I would appreciate it if someone could explain in simple English what the difference is between an adaptive indicator and an indicator that has been smoothed?
Is there one variable / parameter that is added to all indicators to make them adaptive? Or is it a matter of changing the formula and calculations for each indicator on an individual basis?
Your assistance is appreciated :)

You can smooth the values in a data series by applying an averaging technique. If you set the weight of that average, then you have "controlled" the smoothing factor and that weighting applies for the entire data series; if you let an algorithm decide on the weight of that average, and that algorithm takes into account changes in data, then the average is adaptive to change and will vary along the data series i.e. the weight of the average on this bar may not be the same as any other bar.
