Wave Smoother [WS]

vor 3 Tagen

The Wave Smoother is a unique FIR filter built from the interaction of two trigonometric waves. A cosine carrier wave is modulated by a sine wave at half the carrier's period, creating smooth transitions and controlled undershoot. The Phase parameter (0° to 119°) adjusts the modulating wave's phase, affecting both response time and undershoot characteristics. At 30° phase the impulse response starts at 0.5 and exhibits gentle undershoot, providing balanced smoothing. Higher phase values reduce ramp-up time and increase undershoot - this undershoot in the impulse response creates overshooting behavior in the filter's output, which helps reduce lag and speed up the response. The default 70° phase setting provides maximum speed while maintaining stability, though practical settings can range from 30° to 70°. The filter's impulse response consists entirely of smooth curves, ensuring consistent behavior across all settings. This design offers traders flexible control over the smoothing-speed trade-off while maintaining reliable signal generation.
