ATR-Adaptive Smoothed Laguerre RSI for Volatility-Responsive Signals

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This indicator description adapts the calculation period of the Laguerre RSI using Average True Range (ATR). Instead of relying on a fixed period, it changes its responsiveness with volatility: the indicator becomes more responsive during high-volatility conditions and smoother during quieter periods. An optional smoothing stage is intended to reduce the number of signals while adding little lag.

The suggested use is to combine adjustable threshold levels with signals generated when the Laguerre RSI changes color. The description refers to a comparison showing that smoothing with a period of 15 adds an acceptable amount of lag, but supplies no quantitative test results or broader performance evidence. The examples and claims are limited to the indicator description; they do not establish profitable entry or exit rules, and signal behavior will depend on the selected settings and market.

Key ideas

  • The indicator varies the Laguerre RSI calculation period according to ATR-based volatility.
  • It aims to respond faster in volatile conditions and smooth readings in quieter conditions.
  • Optional smoothing is intended to reduce signals while limiting added lag.
  • The suggested trigger is a color change considered alongside adjustable levels, but no trading performance results are given.
