What does Super smoother measure?
An engineer's smoother: it removes the fast noise from price while adding far less delay than an ordinary moving average.
How is Super smoother calculated?
Run the close through a two-stage filter tuned to 10 candles. Each new value blends the last two closes with the filter's own two previous outputs, which is what lets it be smooth and prompt at once.
Written by reading the engine’s real computation, not a textbook — where the two differ, the page describes what actually runs.
How do I use Super smoother in a bot?
In the builder, add an indicator of type ssf (parameters: length, default 10). Its value becomes an operand you can compare in any entry or exit rule. The engine grades the whole rule honestly: real fills, no look-ahead, half the history held back.
