Using a Super Smoother for DSL Momentum Signals

Summary

This indicator modifies a DSL synthetic EMA momentum indicator by using a Super Smoother in both the momentum calculation and the discontinued signal line. The description presents the filter as responding to price changes faster than an EMA while also smoothing the resulting signal. It suggests watching color changes for potential entries or re-entries.

The document gives no formula, parameter settings, market examples, backtest, or performance evidence. It therefore offers only a high-level indicator variation and a possible signal-reading convention. Faster response may change signal timing, but the text does not quantify that trade-off or establish that color changes predict profitable trades. Any use would require independent implementation checks and evaluation on the intended instrument and timeframe.

Key ideas

• The indicator replaces EMA smoothing with a Super Smoother for both momentum and the DSL signal line.
• The author describes the resulting response as faster and smoother than the EMA version.
• Color changes are proposed as possible entry or re-entry cues.
• The description supplies no parameterization or evidence of trading performance.
