Description:
These studies are based on the August 2006 article, Modeling The Market = Building Trading Strategies, by John F. Ehlers.
Formula Parameters:
Model.efs
ITL Length: 20
CC Length: 20
CyclicComponent.efs
Length: 20
InstantaneousTrendLine.efs
Length: 20
Notes:
The Instantaneous Trend Line (ITL) and Cyclic Component (CC) studies each have one formula parameter for the period length that may be configured through the Edit Studies option in the Advanced Chart. The Model study has two length parameters, one for each the ITL and CC. The lengths for these two components of the Model study can be set at different values.
These formulas require eSignal version 8.0.0 or later. The related article is copyrighted material. If you are not a subscriber of Stocks & Commodities, please visit www.traders.com.
