How to interpret it on a trading chart
Read it primarily as a trend baseline:
Price above a rising filter suggests bullish alignment.
Price below a falling filter suggests bearish alignment.
A flattening filter with repeated price crossings signals a less useful environment for trend-following entries.
A slope change tells you the smoothed price direction has turned—not that a durable reversal is guaranteed.
The attraction is a relatively clean line that can remain responsive. The limitation is the same fundamental trade-off you face with other smoothers: removing more noise also delays recognition of genuine changes. Claims that it is universally “better than an EMA” need a specific comparison of settings and smoothness, not just a visual impression.
