Adaptive Moving Average ATR Bands (AMAAB) is a volatility-based, trend-following indicator that builds ATR bands around three different moving averages and combines them into a single outer envelope.
SMA, RMA and LSMA are calculated from the same source and length. Each moving average receives its own ATR bands, and the highest upper band and lowest lower band are used as the final bands.
Since the three moving averages react to price at different speeds, the envelope adapts its width to the distance between them, requiring a stronger move before the active condition changes.
Original concept: https://www.tradingview.com/script/u82khjne-Adaptive-Moving-Average-ATR-Bands-NJ/
Modified original by adding gray full bands and center line, which can be turned on/off in the settings.
This is an example of /NQ on a 10 minute chart.
