Introduction to the ALF Indicator

The ALF indicator works in a similar manner to the Moving Average indicator. In fact, the ALF abbreviation stands for Adaptive Laguerre Filter.

It fits all kinds of timeframes and currency pairs.

The indicator is displayed directly on the main trading chart.

The default settings can be modified directly from the input tab. Feel free to experiment with the settings and parameters to fit your personal preferences.
