Indicator Description:
The Adaptive Laguerre is based on the Laguerre filter, described by John Ehlers in his paper “Time Warp – Without Space Travel”. It applies a variable gamma factor, based on how well the filter is tracking previous price movement. As with other adaptive moving averages, the Adaptive Laguerre tracks trending markets closely but will see less changes in range-bound markets.


The Adaptive Laguerre allows for an adjustment of the simple Laguerre filter. When price moves away from the filter, it becomes faster. When price moves sideward, the filter gets slower. Accordingly, this indicator belongs to the same class of moving average as the Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) and the Volatility Index Dynamic Average (VIDYA) developed by Tushar Chande. The Adaptive Laguerre is smoother than the VIDYa and will adjust slower to price action after consolidations.

Ehlers uses the bar center (H+L)/2 as input series. In NinjaSpeak this is called “Median”. NinjaTrader allows for setting this as default, however, it can then not be changed anymore. Therefore, we have not preset the indicator to “Median”, but let the user make the decision when applying the indicator to the chart. The reason for this is that other indicators call the Ehlers indicators to perform calculations on the bar high or low, such as the Gann HiLo Activator for example.

RISK DISCLOSURE:
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.


HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE DISCLAIMER:
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
