# Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (Dual KAMA) – Free Indicator
A dual adaptive moving average system that tracks both short‑term and long‑term trends. The indicator plots two KAMA lines (Fast and Slow) and colors candles based on their relative position.

## 📊 How it works
- **Fast KAMA (cyan/teal line)** – reacts quickly to price changes, useful for short‑term momentum and exit timing. - **Slow KAMA (blue line)** – follows the long‑term foundation, helps identify support/bottom zones. - **Candle colors**: - 🟢 Green candle → Fast KAMA > Slow KAMA (bullish trend) - 🔴 Red candle → Fast KAMA < Slow KAMA (bearish trend)
## ⏱️ Recommended Timeframe
**MONTHLY (1M)** – The indicator is designed for long‑term cycle analysis. Works on any asset (crypto, stocks, commodities, indices).
## 🛠️ How to use
1. Add the indicator to your chart. 2. Set timeframe to **Monthly**. 3. Observe the two KAMA lines: - When price approaches or crosses below the **Slow KAMA**, watch for potential bottom zones. - When Fast KAMA crosses above Slow KAMA, bullish momentum may start. 4. Use the candle colors for quick trend confirmation.
