In “The One Euro Filter” in this issue, John Ehlers presents the one euro filter indicator, originally developed by Georges Casiez, Nicolas Roussel, and Daniel Vogel. Unlike a conventional exponential moving average (EMA) that relies on a fixed smoothing constant, this indicator dynamically adjusts its coefficient in response to the rate of change in the input signal.
