Level: 2 Background John F. Ehlers introuced the Distance Coefficient Ehlers Filter in his "Rocket Science for Traders" chapter 18 on 2001. Function Dr. Ehlers considered the gray shading levels as distances, he had away of computing filter coefficients in terms of sharpness of the edge. White is the maximum distance in one direction from the median gray, and...
Level: 2 Background John F. Ehlers introuced Hilbert Oscillator in his "Rocket Science for Traders" chapter 8. The Hilbert Oscillator identifies every major turning point. Function blackcat L2 Ehlers Hilbert Oscillator is used to follow the trend. Although it will not be a leading indicator because of the 2-bar lag required to compute Q3, it does prove...
Phase Calculation was authored by John F. Elders in the Stocks and Commodities Magazine 11/1996 This indicator will tell you if the stock is in a uptrend or downtrend. A phase number with a low number means it is in a uptrend and a phase number with a high number means it is in a downtrend. Let me know if you want to see me write code for different indicators!
The 3 Pole Super Smoother Filter was created by John Ehlers and this is an oldie but a goodie. A great moving average that clearly shows a good trendline and so buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red. Let me know if there are any other indicators you want me to publish!
Level: 2 Background John F. Ehlers introuced Relative Vigor Index in his "Cybernetic Analysis for Stocks and Futures" chapter 6 on 2004. Function Relative Vigor Index (RVI) uses concepts dating back over three decades and also uses modern filter and digital signal processing theory to realize those concepts as a practical and useful indicator. The RVI merges...
Circumstance Remarks: Because of my carelessness, the script of the same name that I posted before was banned and hidden because the description contained content that violated the TradingView House Rule. After communicating with the MOD, I corrected the description and obtained permission to publish it again. I hereby declare. Sorry for the inconvenience!...
Level: 2 Background John F. Ehlers create Synthetic Prices Using Random Numbers with Memory in his "Cycle Analytics for Traders" chapter 8 on 2013. Function Peter Swerling is best known for the class of statistically “fluctuating target” scattering models he developed in the early 1950s to characterize the performance of pulsed radar systems, referred to as...
Level: 2 Background John F. Ehlers introuced Classic Hilbert Transform in his "Cycle Analytics for Traders" chapter 14 on 2013. The Hilbert Transform is a procedure to create complex signals from the simple chart data familiar to all traders. Once we have the complex signals, we can compute indicators and signals that are more accurate and responsive than those...
Level: 2 Background John F. Ehlers introuced Modified Stochastic Indicator in his "Cycle Analytics for Traders" chapter 7 on 2013. Function Conventional indicators are not immune to the effects of spectral dilation. For example, a Stochastic indicator remains near its upper bound when the market is in an uptrend even though a relatively short lookback period...
Level: 2 Background John F. Ehlers introuced Three-Pole Butterworth Filter in his "Cybernetic Analysis for Stocks and Futures" chapter 13 on 2004. Function The transfer responses of Butterworth filters have polynomials in both the numerator and denominator. There is a polynomial in the numerator as well as the denominator. The significance of the polynomial...
The Directional Movement Hann Window Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Stocks and Commodities Dec 2021 pgs 17-18) and this is his updated version of the classic Directional Movement indicator created by J. Welles Wilder. Ehlers uses the Hann Window Filtering after using an exponential moving average to smooth the classic directional movement indicator. This...
The Relative Vigor Index was created by John Ehlers (Cybernetic Analysis For Stocks And Futures pg 58) and this is a momentum indicator that is similar to the Accumulation Distribution Oscillator created by Jim Waters and Larry Williams. He uses digital signal processing to smooth the indicator to provide clear buy and sell signals. The idea behind this indicator...
Level: 2 Background John F. Ehlers introuced Super Smooth Stochastic Indicator in Jan, 2014. Function In “Predictive And Successful Indicators” of in, 2014, John Ehlers presented another innovative way to eliminate noise from classic indicators and introduces some new smoothing indicators: the SuperSmoother filter, which is superior to moving averages for...
The Moving Average Difference Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Stocks and Commodities Oct 2021 pg 23) and this is essentially his version of the famous MACD indicator. He calls this indicator the "thinking mans" MACD because his thought process for creating the lengths is based on half of the period of the dominant cycle. These are the default lengths that he...
The Squelch Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Stocks & Commodities V. 18:9 (42-46)) and this indicator is a variation of his Market Mode Indicator and its purpose is the same as in it determines if the market is trending or in a choppy market. If this indicator is at the 1 level then this means the market is trending and if it is at 0 then the market is...
The Adaptive Relative Strength Index was created by John Ehlers and this is his first version. I will of course publish his updated version at a later date along with publishing the final script from Jim Sloman's Ocean Theory book. I have changed his script to include extra smoothing to provide clear buy and sell signals. This is a version of a RSI that is very...
Level: 2 Background John F. Ehlers introuced Correlation Cycle indicator in Jun, 2020. Function In his article “Correlation As A Cycle Indicator” in Jun, 2020, John Ehlers introduces a companion to the trend indicator he presented in his article. This new indicator is designed to help traders navigate cycling markets. The new cycle indicator can help the...
The 2 Pole Super Smoother Filter was created by John Ehlers (Cycle Analytics For Traders pg 32) and this follows the price very closely and very useful because it is consistent with uptrends and falls sharply during a sudden downtrend so it should be able to help you stay more profitable. Buy when the indicator line turns green and sell when it turns red. Let me...
