MAMA-FAMA is one of the best indicators ever, the mother of Moving Averages.
Thanks a lot.

for the fans of this system…here is a theory on MAMA/FAMA http://www.forexfactory.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=39171&d=1184696239

Formula is good till 5.20 to 5.40 ( tested ) not sure abt 5.50 though. no errors.

Can anyone show how to create formula function for MAMA to be able to use for creating own system adding other indicators. I want to backtest this in amibrok5.4 . Also want to use MAMA as an indicator for other combinations. Thanks .Regards, God Bless All

There is something wrong with the translation of the code from the book Rocket Science for Traders by John Ehlers. Code in the book is for tradestation, and in tradestation easylanguage the function ArcTangent() gives result in degrees while the equivalent function atan() in Amibroker AFL gives result in radians.
Line 22 of the code by Karthimarar should read:
if (I1[i] != 0) phase[i] = RTD*atan(q1[i]/I1[i]); //wrong = DTR*360/atan(q1[i]/I1[i])

In the book in Tradestation easylanguage the code of this line is:
If I1 <>0 then Phase = (ArcTangent(Q1/I1)
So, if ArcTangent(Q1/I1) gives the result in degrees and in AFL atan() gives the result in radians you must convert the radians to degrees by multiplying the result by 180/pi or by RTD (Radians to Degrees) in the code.
