Adaptive Laguerre Filters for Trend Signals

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This indicator builds a trend display by comparing a main adaptive Laguerre filter value with a signal value. The relative position of those values determines the displayed trend, colors, and alerts. The calculation uses a newer adaptive Laguerre version with low-lag smoothing.

The signal setting affects how the indicator behaves: at values of 1 or less, it acts like a basic adaptive Laguerre filter, making the tool usable in two ways. It also supports multiple timeframes. The description explains the signal logic and configuration options but provides no formula details, trading rules for entries or exits, or performance evidence. It therefore describes an indicator concept rather than establishing that its trend signals are profitable or reliable.

Key ideas

  • The indicator compares a main adaptive Laguerre value with a signal value to determine trend direction and display alerts and colors.
  • It uses a low-lag smoothing method in its adaptive Laguerre calculation.
  • At signal settings of 1 or less, the indicator behaves like a basic adaptive Laguerre filter.
  • The indicator supports multiple timeframes, but the document gives no performance evidence.
