Jurik Oscillator
Applies Jurik's low-lag, low-noise smoothing to a stochastic base for a very clean momentum line.
How to read it
The Jurik Moving Average (JMA) is prized for being both very smooth and very low-lag — it filters noise almost like a heavy average yet turns almost as fast as price. On the chart it reads as a clean trend line with few false wiggles.
Trading signals
Because it's smooth and fast, JMA is a strong trend line and cross reference: price crossing the JMA, or its own slope flipping, marks the turn with little lag and few whipsaws. It's a good backbone for a trend filter that other, faster tools trade around.
Parameters
JMA Period is the main smoothing length; JMA Phase biases it toward less lag (positive) or less overshoot (negative); JMA Power sets the strength of the smoothing. The JMA Stoch Period feeds a stochastic used internally. Start from the defaults and nudge Phase to taste.
