Overview

Decomposition levels from one to eight set the lookback, which doubles with each level. Output zero returns the deepest approximation, described as the trend, while outputs one through the chosen level return that level’s detail coefficient. The script draws the selected series and a dotted zero line. It does not generate trade signals or manage entries, exits, or stops.

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