Most indicators out there run on bars. Let’s take a 3-period moving average. You compute it on the Close, the previous Close, and the Close before that. Well, what if you used 3 other values in your average, instead of the last three prices? Like, what if you used the current value of the 2-EMA, 5-EMA, and 8-EMA and computed the average of those instead?
Ehlers uses the 4-RSI as an example application of the Laguerre treatment. Instead of the last 4 Closes, he uses 4 Laguerre values. Using only four values makes the indicator turn quickly, but you can adjust the overall speed of the output via the gamma input to the transform. Pretty neat!
In July, I looked around briefly to see what other Laguerre indicators were out there. Surprisingly, I couldn’t find any. I thought that was strange, because all you have to do is plug in the Laguerre values you need and see what happens. I coded up a few, and found the the Ergodic Candle Oscillator looked pretty good Laguerre-ized.

This video is about learning to trade the market for what it is. Indicators are not going to teach you this. The market is ever changing and indicators can only get you so far along in your journey.
At some point you need to just simply learn how to trade. Spend your time and energy wisely.

This video talks about trading the ZN on Thr July 9th 2009. It goes over several setups and reviews them bar by bar, starting with the large time frame, then looking at the smaller time frames for entries.
It also talks about some money management and trading rules I employ.

This video emphasizes the crucial importance of observing a larger time frame chart, even when scalping.
It shows an 11 range chart on the ZN 09-09 and even though we are only trading a 4 range chart, this clearly demonstrates why a bigger picture chart is a requirement.
This is a must watch video if you are not making money.

While Gann was purported to be a brilliant trader in any market his techniques have been regarded as complex and difficult to implement.
The great contribution of Murrey Math (T. H. Murrey) was the creation of a system of geometry that can be used to describe market price movements in time. This geometry facilitates the use of Gann's trading techniques.
In this video blog I recap Friday's price action and talk about why, for me, it is so important to have multiple time frames/charts up. Friday was an extremely choppy day, yet we either made money or at least didn't lose any.

Nice Indicator - but the mathematics is a little bit tricky to understand!
April 4th, 2012 12:18 PM keymoo Great video Mike, I only have MAs, vol and some S/R levels on my charts (Yesterday's HLC, etc). I've been down the indic
ator route for a LONG time (too long), and they DO NOT WORK!
August 4th, 2015 01:30 PM essiar Good indicator but a bit buggy. Does not always sound the diamond alerts and I'm not sure why. Other than that, extremel
y useful.
August 3rd, 2015 01:18 PM zionj TNX, GREAT Indicator
July 5th, 2012 12:28 AM mmtrader4 This indicator is about as good as it gets. ADXVMA Alerts used along with anaSuperTrendU11 is as close to the grail as t
here is. So as to not clutter my chart, I use ADXVMA in a separate panel. It keeps me out of chop and warns of coming t
rend. If you'd like a screenshot or two let me know. (and I'll promise to pick a bad day to show how well it works even
on tough days)
a BIG THANKS!!
