Ehlers Optimum Predictor [CC]The Optimum Predictor was created by John Ehlers (Rocket Science For Traders pgs 209-210) and this indicator does a pretty good job of predicting major market moves. When the blue line crosses over the red line then this indicator is predicting an upcoming uptrend and when the blue line crosses under the red line then it is predicting an upcoming downtrend. Ehlers recommends using this indicator with an entire trading system to filter out any bad signals but most of the signals it gives are pretty accurate. He uses advanced digital signal processing to predict the future prices and uses it in an ema formula for the calculation. There are several ways to interpret this indicator: you can look for crossovers, you can also look for when the indicator goes above 0 for a general uptrend or below 0 for a general downtrend.
Let me know if there are any other scripts you would like to see me publish!
Optimum
powerful moving average crossoverThis script is a simplified version of John Ehlers's adaption of Dr. Kalman's optimum estimator as applied to price action (More can be found on this here: www.dimensionetrading.com). Here I have adapted two of these optimum estimators to work together to provide crossover signals. The user can choose the input of this filter in the 'input source'. The 'Ratio of Uncertainties' controls how adaptive the moving averages are, increasing this number will increase adaptivity and vice versa for decreasing. The 'Kalman Gain' allows the user to choose how much error to let into the calculation. The smaller this number is the quicker the moving average will approach price action.
In practice this indicator is much smoother than most other moving averages and has significantly less whiplash while still getting very early entries. If anyone wants to adapt this script for their own uses please feel free. Message me what you make with it, I am very curious what this can do when in the right hands!
Happy trading!
Ehlers Modified Optimum Elliptic FilterThis indicator was originally developed by John F. Ehlers (Stocks & Commodities, V.18:7 (July, 2000): "Optimal Detrending").
Mr. Ehlers didn't stop and improved his Optimum Elliptic Filter. To reduce the effects of lag he added the one day momentum of the price to the price value.
This modification produce a better response.
Ehlers Optimum Elliptic FilterThis indicator was originally developed by John F. Ehlers (Stocks & Commodities, V.18:7 (July, 2000): "Optimal Detrending").
Mr. Ehlers worked on the smoother that could have no more than a one-bar lag. An elliptic filter provides the maximum amount of smoothing under the constraint of a given lag.
