FRAMA Trend Rider
Follows Ehlers' Fractal Adaptive Moving Average. A long opens when price closes above a rising FRAMA by a small ATR buffer (a short on the mirror); the trade exits when price closes back through the FRAMA by the same buffer, or on an ATR trailing stop. FRAMA slows down in ragged markets, which naturally reduces whipsaw trades.
