# KAMA ## KAMA The Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) indicator belongs to the group of adaptive moving averages. Like all moving averages, the KAMA can be used to visualize the trend. This powerful trend-following indicator is based around the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and is responsive to both trend and volatility. It closely follows price when noise is low and attempts to smooth out market noise when price fluctuates. The source code for the KAMA function is available [here](https://app.optionalpha.com/ta/KAMA.txt). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
