Mesa Adaptive Moving Averages was developed by John Ehler

Originally used to trade commodities and stocks.

The MESA Adaptive average looks like two moving averages. The difference is that the MESA moves in steps and not in a curved line like the MA(Moving Average). The example shown and described below shows this indicator drawn on a price chart.

Ehler MESA Adaptive MA

The MESA Adaptive Moving Average is a trend-following indicator that adjusts to price movement, using the rate of change measured by the Hilbert Transform Discriminator. This tool gives you a trade signal when the two moving averages cross each other. You want to open trades in the direction of the MESA averages.

This way of doing things has a fast MA and a slow MA so that the combined average quickly follows the price changes and keeps the average value until the next candlestick closes. This indicator is less likely to have false signals compared to regular Moving averages. This is because of the math used to figure out how quickly the price is changing.
