AFIRMA is short for Autoregressive Finite Impulse Response Moving Average and is an efficient Metatrader 5 indicator that is centered on a digital filter that precisely shows price movement.

The indicator does deploy digital filters on all candlesticks, not including the most recent ones, the number of which is equal to the filter time lag.
Price bars are smoothed by cubic spline fitting using least square method.
The indicator has just four input parameters:
- LF transmission width 1/(2*Period) – sets the LF (low frequency) filter transmission width
- Number of delay units in the filter – must be an odd number, thus allowing the filter control Taps prices that enables it form the new smoothed MA value
- Window index – defines the filter approximation using five distinct ways
- Horizontal shift of the indicator in bars – defines the indicators’ level shift gauged in bars
