Overview

LOESS Filter fits a locally weighted linear regression inside a sliding window and returns the fitted value at the window center. The length setting sets the window, which is forced to an odd size of at least three, and the source setting chooses the series to smooth. It does not generate entries, exits, or alerts.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints.
