RSI-Adaptive, GKYZ-Filtered DEMA [Loxx]

21 Sep 2022

RSI-Adaptive, GKYZ-Filtered DEMA [Loxx] is a Garman-Klass-Yang-Zhang Historical Volatility Filtered, RSI-Adaptive Double Exponential Moving Average. This is an experimental indicator. The way this is calculated is by turning RSI into an alpha value that is then injected into a DEMA function to output price. Price is then filtered using GKYZ Historical volatility. This process of creating an alpha out of RSI is only relevant to EMA-based moving averages that use an alpha value for it's calculation.

What is Garman-Klass-Yang-Zhang Historical Volatility?
Yang and Zhang derived an extension to the Garman Klass historical volatility estimator that allows for opening jumps. It assumes Brownian motion with zero drift. This is currently the preferred version of open-high-low-close volatility estimator for zero drift and has an efficiency of 8 times the classic close-to-close estimator. Note that when the drift is nonzero, but instead relative large to the volatility , this estimator will tend to overestimate the volatility . The Garman-Klass-Yang-Zhang Historical Volatility calculation is as follows:

GKYZHV = sqrt((Z/n) * sum((log(open(k)/close( k-1 )))^2 + (0.5*(log(high(k)/low(k)))^2) - (2*log(2) - 1)*(log(close(k)/open(2:end)))^2))
