Ehlers Filter Linear indicator

Description

The Ehlers Filter uses a linear distance calculation algorithm. This indicator enables tracking the common trend and trading in its direction. Unlike the non-linear Ehlers Filter, it has a longer delay and allows for more lagged detection of entry and exit points for your positions.

The indicator allows for tracking the common trend and trading in its direction.
