Short period (9) — hugs price and reacts fast, but whipsaws more in chop.
What it does
Tracks turns faster than EMA or SMA of the same length by combining weighted averages.
What happens
Recomputed once per candle from its wired source, incrementally (constant work per bar). It emits no value until the warmup period has passed; after that it produces a value every bar.
When to use
Faster trend signals where the lag of EMA/SMA costs you entries.
Gotchas
- Lower lag means more sensitivity — it can overshoot and whipsaw in choppy markets.
- Minimum period is 2.
