Smooth And Lazy Moving Average

A deliberately smooth moving average that ignores noise and responds only to persistent moves.

SALMA builds a standard deviation (SD) channel and keeps price within its boundaries. This dampens sudden, high-volatility moves before a moving average and additional smoothing are applied, so only persistent price moves change the direction of SALMA. Traders use it as a trend guide alongside other indicators.

RedK SALMA v2.0 (same length, no extra smoothing) against a classic Weighted Moving Average (WMA).
