Generalized Step Moving Average w/ Pips Filter [Loxx]Generalized Step Moving Average w/ Pips Filter is a stepping function on source input to derive a moving average. This general form the stepping can also be applied to any other input such as EMA, SMA, HMA, WMA, etc.. This moving average employ a filtering system based on the following:
Core filter, both min and max value: pips * (multiplier) or the (average of momentum) * (multiplier).
Post processing filter: pips * (multiplier)
These filtering options require trend to shift by the above values before changing direction thereby reducing noise and yielding a better defined trend.
Things to note
This indicator requires fine tuning to make it work on all tickers. If you place this on a chart and it shows all green or red candles, then you must adjust the indicator to coincide with the pip movement of that ticker.
This indicator can be used on any timeframe.

Loxx's Expanded Source Types
Pipsstepping
Pips Stepped VHF-Adaptive VMA w/ Expanded Source Types [Loxx]Pips Stepped VHF-Adaptive VMA w/ Expanded Source Types is a volatility adaptive Variable Moving Average (VMA) with stepping by pips.
What is Variable Moving Average (VMA)?
VMA (Variable Moving Average) is often mistakenly confused with the VIDYA (Volatility Index Dynamic Average) which is not strange since Tushar Chande took part in developing both. But the VMA was preceding the VIDYA and should not be mistaken for it.
What is Vertical Horizontal Filter (VHF)?
Vertical Horizontal Filter (VHF) was created by Adam White to identify trending and ranging markets. VHF measures the level of trend activity, similar to ADX in the Directional Movement System. Trend indicators can then be employed in trending markets and momentum indicators in ranging markets.
VMA, as is, is a "good candidate" for this type of filtering since it tends to produce prolonged periods of nearly horizontal values when the volatility of the market is low, so, when the step filtering is applied to it, the small slope changes that are happening as a results of the semi EMA calculation are filtered out, and signals are becoming more usable.
