Overview

Adaptive Laguerre Filter dynamically adjusts its damping factor (alpha) based on recent price range variations and median percentile calculations over a specified lookback period. The script colors the filter line to indicate whether the trend is moving up or down, with a setting to await bar confirmation before updating line colors or triggering alerts.

Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints.
