The Gaussian Ribbon utilizes two "Arnaud Legoux" moving averages with the same length to identify changes in trend direction. The plotted channel consists of two lines, one based on the default offset and sigma values, and the other with slightly adjusted customizable parameters.
In summary, the Gaussian Ribbon uses the offset and power of the second ALMA to create a lag that still calculates using the same length.
- ALMA is a type of moving average that is related to the Gaussian function through its mathematical formula and the concept of weighted averages.
- The ALMA is designed to reduce lag in moving averages and provide more timely responses to price changes. It achieves this by applying a Gaussian distribution (bell-shaped curve) as a weighting function to the price data.
- The Gaussian function is used to calculate the weights in the ALMA formula. These weights give more importance to recent price data while gradually reducing the influence of older data points. This results in a smoother and more responsive moving average.
In summary, the Gaussian Ribbon uses the offset and power of the second ALMA to create a lag that still calculates using the same length.
