Overview

Ehlers SSF Detrended Synthetic Price (SSFDSP) subtracts a half-cycle super smooth filter from a quarter-cycle super smooth filter to isolate cyclical components and highlight trend changes. The script plots the resulting values in a separate pane around a zero line. Main settings include the input source and the dominant cycle period. As an indicator, it contains no entry or exit rules, stop losses, or position sizing.
