Overview

Elliptic 2nd Order Filter applies digital signal processing techniques to smooth price data while attempting to maintain a sharp frequency cutoff. The resulting filter line plots directly on the main price chart as a dynamic trend line. Users can adjust the cutoff length period and select the input price source. Like most lowpass smoothing filters, higher cutoff lengths introduce structural phase lag.

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