Moving Average That Goes Flat?

There used to be an (Moving Average, i think) indicator that follows the price but has a special ability in that it can go flat when the markets were not trending. It curves based on direction when market is trending and stays in a flat line when market is going sideways. Can someone please help me recall the name of that indicator.

It shows trending times as well as flat times perfectly albeit sometimes with a little lag. Anyone knows the name of that indicator ?

I might sound a jackass now but... how about "Moving Average"

Volatility Quality displays that sort of information. Hope that helps.

no no .... this was actually a moving average that want flat as in a "flat line" totally. only moved/curved upwards or downwards when market was trending.

I'm trying hard to find it but so far no luck, since i don't remember it's exact name.
