Overview

Ehlers Voss Predictive Filter (VOSS) first applies a two-pole bandpass to the selected source, then builds a weighted feedback predictor that offsets filter delay by a chosen number of bars. Period sets the primary cycle length, Predict sets the negative delay, and Bandwidth sets the bandpass width. It plots the bandpass and Voss series in a separate pane with a dotted zero line. It does not generate trade entries or exits.

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