Introduction
The Ehlers Maclaurin Ultimate Smoother [CT] is an innovative enhancement of the classic Ehlers SuperSmoother. By leveraging advanced Maclaurin series approximations, this indicator offers superior market analysis and signal generation.
The indicator combines Ehlers' Ultimate Smoother with Maclaurin series approximations to create a more efficient and accurate smoothing mechanism:
- Input price data passes through the initial smoothing phase
- Maclaurin series approximates trigonometric functions
- Enhanced high-pass filter removes market noise
- Final smoothing phase produces the output signal
Why the Maclaurin Approach?
The Maclaurin series is a special form of the Taylor series, centered around 0. It provides an efficient way to approximate complex functions using polynomial terms. In this indicator, we use the Maclaurin approach to improve the sine and cosine functions, resulting in:
- Faster Calculations: By using polynomial approximations, we significantly reduce computational complexity.
- Improved Stability: The approximation provides a more stable numerical basis for calculations.
- Preservation of Precision: Despite the approximation, we maintain the precision needed for price smoothing.
Calculations
The indicator employs several key mathematical components:
Maclaurin Series Approximation:
- sin(x) ≈ x - x³/3! + x⁵/5! - x⁷/7! + x⁹/9!
- cos(x) ≈ 1 - x²/2! + x⁴/4! - x⁶/6! + x⁸/8!
