This is the MAMA and FAMA indicator by John Ehlers. Testing on SPY and few other stocks and it is highly accurate on the certain timeframes and works best with SPY.
It will show MAMA: BEAR as an indication to sell and MAMA: BULL to indicate Bullish move. It was originally made to trade /ES.
The indicator performs worst in times of CHOP. So I would use a choppy indicator to indicate choppiness in the market and avoid taking any trades during that time.
Good Stuff: Overall if you trade(On sell trades) SPY on 2D 5M chart with will end up making roughly ~ $200. Lets not forget its simulation and not real trades
