Overview

Ehlers Elegant Oscillator (EEO) processes the input series through a 2-bar momentum calculation, normalizes the derivative by rolling RMS over 50 bars, applies the Inverse Fisher Transform, and then smooths the result using a 2-pole Super Smoother filter whose cutoff is set by the BandEdge parameter. The indicator draws the EEO line in a separate pane along with horizontal reference lines at zero, plus 0.5 and minus 0.5. The primary inputs are the source (default close) and BandEdge (default 20). It provides a smooth, non-repainting oscillator for analyzing market momentum without any trading signals or position management.
