Ehlers Two-Pole Stochastic
This indicator implements John Ehlers' Two-Pole Stochastic Filter, a smoother alternative to the traditional stochastic oscillator. Instead of relying on raw %K values, it applies a second-order IIR filter (recursive smoothing) to reduce noise and improve trend clarity.
It outputs a single line oscillating between 0 and 1, with less lag and false signals compared to standard stochastic implementations.
Key Features:
Uses a two-pole filter to smooth the normalized stochastic (%K).
Ideal for detecting clean reversals and trend continuations.
Designed for minimal visual noise and greater signal confidence.
Interpretation:
Values near 1.0 may suggest overbought conditions.
Values near 0.0 may suggest oversold conditions.
Crosses above 0.5 can signal bullish shifts, and below 0.5 bearish shifts.
Recommended Settings:
Default smoothing factor (alpha) is 0.7 — higher values make the output more responsive, while lower values smooth further.
Inspired by concepts from Cybernetic Analysis for Stocks and Futures by John F. Ehlers.
