The image uses NinjaTrader simulated data.
The HMA is 45 period, the VMA is a 12 period with
a volatility period of 9. After playing around for a little
while they seem to be equivalent. Each triggering at
the same points of the graph with few if any false
positives. Not much difference I can see in responsiveness.
I would think
that the VMA might have more use as an indicator that
is based on moving average angle. (Just guessing here.)
When an up move is done it flattens out quickly instead
of slowly.
