29/// An indicator which calculates an adaptive moving average (AMA) across a
30/// rolling window. Developed by Perry Kaufman, the AMA is a moving average
31/// designed to account for market noise and volatility. The AMA will closely
32/// follow prices when the price swings are relatively small and the noise is
33/// low. The AMA will increase lag when the price swings increase.
