ATR-Adaptive Smoothed Laguerre RSI with Dynamic Levels
Summary
This note describes a Laguerre RSI variant that adjusts its calculation period using Average True Range (ATR). The adaptation is intended to make the indicator respond more quickly during high volatility and produce smoother readings during quieter periods. An optional smoothing step is also offered to reduce the number of signals, though the document does not specify its formula or parameters.
The version also uses dynamic thresholds instead of fixed levels, and suggests using changes in the indicator’s color with adjustable levels to generate signals. The author reports that this approach appeared to perform better than fixed levels, but provides no test design, market, timeframe, or numerical results to support that observation. The note therefore introduces a configurable indicator idea rather than establishing a validated trading strategy; it does not describe entries beyond the color change, exits, or risk controls.
Key ideas
- The indicator adjusts the Laguerre RSI calculation period based on ATR.
- It is designed to react more quickly in high volatility and more smoothly in low volatility.
- Optional smoothing aims to reduce signal frequency and potential false signals.
- Dynamic levels replace fixed thresholds, but the claimed advantage is not supported by test details.
- Color changes combined with adjustable levels are suggested as signal cues.
