Gaussian Average Convergence Divergence
What exactly is the Ehlers Gaussian filter?
This filter is useful for smoothing. It rejects higher frequencies (fast movements) more effectively than an EMA and has less lag. John F. Ehlers published it in "Rocket Science For Traders." Dr. René Koch was the first to implement it in Wealth-Lab.
The transfer response of a Gaussian filter is described by the well-known Gaussian bell-shaped curve. Only the upper half of the curve describes the filter in the case of low-pass filters. The use of gaussian filters is a step toward achieving the dual goals of lowering lag and lowering the lag of high-frequency components relative to lower-frequency components.
From Ehlers Book: "The first objective of using smoothers is to eliminate or reduce the undesired high-frequency components in the price data. Therefore these smoothers are called low-pass filters, and they all work by some form of averaging. Butterworth low-pass filters can do this job, but nothing comes for free. A higher degree of filtering is necessarily accompanied by a larger amount of lag. We have come to see that is a fact of life."
