Zero-lag, 3-Pole Super Smoother [Loxx]Zero-lag, 3-Pole Super Smoother is an Ehlers 3-pole smoother with lag reduction
What is 3-pole Super Smoother?
A SuperSmoother filter is used anytime a moving average of any type would otherwise be used, with the result that the SuperSmoother filter output would have substantially less lag for an equivalent amount of smoothing produced by the moving average. For example, a five-bar SMA has a cutoff period of approximately 10 bars and has two bars of lag. A SuperSmoother filter with a cutoff period of 10 bars has a lag a half bar larger than the two-pole modified Butterworth filter. Therefore, such a SuperSmoother filter has a maximum lag of approximately 1.5 bars and even less lag into the attenuation band of the filter. The differential in lag between moving average and SuperSmoother filter outputs becomes even larger when the cutoff periods are larger.

Supersmooth
3-Pole Super Smoother w/ EMA-Deviation-Corrected Stepping [Loxx]3-Pole Super Smoother w/ EMA-Deviation-Corrected Stepping is an Ehlers 3-pole smoother with EMA deviations corrective stepping. This allows for greater response to volatility.

What is EMA Deviation Corrected?
Dr. Alexander Uhl invented a method that he used to filter the moving average and to check for signals.
By definition, the Standard Deviation (SD, also represented by the Greek letter sigma σ or the Latin letter s) is a measure that is used to quantify the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of data values. In technical analysis we usually use it to measure the level of current volatility.
Standard Deviation is based on Simple Moving Average calculation for mean value. The built-in MetaTrader 5 Standard Deviation can change that and can use one of the 4 basic types of averages for calculations. This version is not doing that. It is, instead, using the properties of EMA to calculate what can be called a new type of deviation, and since it is based on EMA, we shall call it EMA deviation.
It is similar to Standard Deviation, but on a first glance you shall notice that it is "faster" than the Standard Deviation and that makes it useful when the speed of reaction to volatility is expected from any code or trading system.
