    Try this EMA for yourself. Technically, it's a one pole infinite impulse response (IIR) filter, and considered Kalmanesque.

    alpha*(price[today]+gain*(price[today]-EMA[1dayago]))+(1-alpha)*EMA[1dayago]

    alpha = 0.2
    gain = 0.5

    Play around with values for alpha and gain variables.

    man i'm done with moving averages, i'll try it thanks but I got not a lot of expectations
    i've tried every possible combination and none work

    MAs would work if price action would be very smooth to begin with, but PA isn't obviously. Even with the delay of the process, it would work. But price is too chaotic for it to work...
