Short period (14) — hugs price and reacts fast, but whipsaws more in chop.
What it does
The averaging RSI and ATR use internally (alpha = 1/period). Smoother and slower-reacting than an EMA of the same length.
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
When you want Wilder-style smoothing or to match RSI/ATR internals.
Gotchas
- Reacts more slowly than EMA of the same period — expect more lag.
