Smoothers Introduction

The toolbox includes a number of smoothers to help reduce false signals and whipsaw trades.

When you pick a smoother like WMA, the number of periods used for the smoother is determined by Smoother Periods. Although smoothing the input into an indicator introduces little lag smoothing too much will most certainly introduce lag so be careful. We recommend that you never smooth the output of an indicator only the input, otherwise you are introducing lag into the indicator and removing vital information.

For oscillator type indicators like RSI and CCI we recommend a 4-day WMA smoother
