Hi Nicolas,

Found this forum that is dedicated to Jurik tools https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=696822 , it would be great if you could add to our arsenal those tools. For a start here the Jurik Filter

Noticed that there is a newer version that solved some bug

Jurik-filter-1.01.mq4

These 2 versions of the Jurik moving average could help:
```

Period = 20

Period = MAX(Period, 1)

// Pow = 5 ({ 1..10 })
// R = 1.5 ({0.5..2.5})
Pow = 4
R = 1

beta = 0.45 * (Period - 1) / (0.45 * (Period - 1) + 2)

IF Pow = 1 THEN
alpha = beta
ELSIF Pow = 2 THEN
alpha = beta * beta
ELSIF Pow = 3 THEN
alpha = beta * beta * beta
ELSIF Pow = 4 THEN
alpha = beta * beta * beta * beta
ELSIF Pow = 5 THEN
alpha = beta * beta * beta * beta * beta

alpha = beta * beta * beta * beta * beta * beta * beta * beta * beta
ELSIF Pow = 10 THEN
alpha = beta * beta * beta * beta * beta * beta * beta * beta * beta
ENDIF

IF BarIndex = 0 THEN
Filt0 = Series
Filt1 = Series
AFR = Series

You can adjust the “Period”, “Pow” and “R” values directly into the code.
EDIT: NEW VERSION COMPATIBLE WITH PRT > V11 ARE AVAILABLE IN BELOW POSTS

Should line 35 not have one more * Beta? Perhaps also using a loop would be better way to calculate alpha?

I think you are right, codes taken from this indi: Average Filter Regression

A more classy way for sure, but not sure about performance.

Yes loops are a much neater solution but they can make things a bit slow and I guess if the Pow only needs to be set to something between 1 and 10 then repetitive typing is the way to go. Maybe when I have more time I will do a comparison speed test!

Thanks Vonasi, Nicolas However I think that the .mq4 filter is not simply the Jurik moving average that you posted, the plot does not have the strai9ght flat sections showed in the chart. Am I missing something? rgds

The flat section you see is because this indicator is multiple timeframe and plot the superior timeframes values of that moving average. ProBuilder is not MTF compatible, but the code I gave you above is similar to the MT4 version on the same timeframe.

Hi, Thank you Nicolas for this code. If you want use a calculation of power inside PRT code it is very simply and not necessary to use condition “If” heavy and longer. So you can remplace ligne 16 to 36 by just one line: So no limit of power and code very light.
falpha = exp ( Pow * log(fbeta) )
Explanation: A (power x) = exponential (x *natural logarithm (A)) [natural logarithm = “logarithme népérien” in French) It is only mathematical property, I have nothing invented. (LOL)

Thank you @Wolf. We are used to use this Math Pow version also in some other codes! 🙂 A new instruction for POW is in the pipe and should be added very soon in version 11.

I get a syntax error the following variable is undefined series

Hi Nicolas, would it be possible to create an itf file for the wonderful Jurik filter?
I also get an error for definition of variable “pow”, which I renamed to pow1.
But then I ran into another error: “the following variable could not be defined: series”.
Thanks a lot in advance.

The ProBuilder langage has evolved since this old post 😉
For the first version there are two issues to fix:
- Pow is a reserved ProBuilder function (it calculates exponentiation). Using it as a variable name causes a conflict. Rename it to jPow.
- Since POW is available as a built-in, the entire IF/ELSIF block computing alpha can be replaced with a single clean call: alpha = POW(beta, jPow).
- In the Pow=10 branch, alpha was computing beta^9 instead of beta^10 (one beta was missing). The POW replacement also fixes that silently.
Here is the corrected code:
```
//----------------------------//
// JMA - Jurik Moving Average //
//----------------------------//

Series = customclose
Period = 20
Period = MAX(Period, 1)


// jPow = 5 ({ 1..10 })
// R = 1.5 ({0.5..2.5})
jPow = 4
R = 1


beta = 0.45 * (Period - 1) / (0.45 * (Period - 1) + 2)
alpha = POW(beta, jPow)


IF BarIndex = 0 THEN
  Filt0 = Series
  Filt1 = Series
  AFR   = Series
ELSE
  Filt0 = (1 - alpha) * Series + alpha * Filt0[1]
  Det0  = (Series - Filt0) * (1 - beta) + beta * Det0[1]
  Filt1 = Filt0 + R * Det0
  Det1  = (Filt1 - AFR[1]) * (1 - alpha) * (1 - alpha) + (alpha * alpha) * Det1[1]
  AFR   = AFR[1] + Det1
ENDIF


RETURN AFR
```

and for the “responsiveness” version also:
```
//-----------------------------------------------------//
// JMA - Jurik Moving Average (Responsiveness Version) //
//-----------------------------------------------------//


Series = customclose
Period = 20
Period = MAX(Period, 1)


// jPow = 5 ({ 1..10 })
// R = 1.5 ({0.5..2.5})
jPow = 5
R = 1


beta = 0.45 * (Period - 1) / (0.45 * (Period - 1) + 2)
alpha = POW(beta, jPow)


IF BarIndex = 0 THEN
  Filt0 = Series
  Filt1 = Series
  AFR   = Series
ELSE
  Filt0 = (1 - alpha) * Series + alpha * Filt0[1]
  Det0  = (Series - Filt0) * (1 - beta) + beta * Det0[1]
  Filt1 = Filt0 + R * Det0
  Det1  = (Filt1 - AFR[1]) * (1 - alpha) * (1 - alpha) + (alpha * alpha) * Det1[1]
  AFR   = AFR[1] + Det1
ENDIF


RETURN AFR
```
