Description
The Ehlers Decycler Oscillator is a technical indicator proposed by John F. Ehlers. Its calculation involves eliminating very low-frequency components from Ehlers Simple Decycler and transforming the output into the oscillator. Low-frequency components are eliminated using the half-period Ehlers Highpass filter.
The oscillator itself is equal to the ratio of the high-pass output data to price, multiplied by a coefficient. This coefficient is equal to 1 by default, however, you might want to adjust it if you use several instances of the oscillator on the same subgraph. Crossovers of oscillators with different coefficients might help identifying important trend reversals.
