Description:
A comprehensive Kalman Filter implementation for financial markets, featuring both classic Kalman filtering and the advanced Model 4 from Eric Benhamou's "Trading Without Hiccups" (IFTA Journal 2018). This library provides sophisticated noise reduction and trend detection capabilities, with special emphasis on mean-reversion trading applications.
Key Features:
• Classic Kalman Filter implementation with adaptive noise estimation
• Model 4 implementation (Benhamou 2018) for mean-reversion trading
• Velocity-based signal generation
• Adaptive measurement noise calculation
• Matrix operations optimized for Pine Script
• Comprehensive initialization functions
The library includes:
1. Basic Kalman Filter functions:
- initialize(): Set up initial filter parameters
- update(): Standard Kalman filter update
- update_trading(): Enhanced update with velocity tracking
2. Advanced Model 4 functions:
- model4_initialize(): Initialize Model 4 parameters
- model4_update(): Update state with mean-reversion modeling
- model4_calculate_measurement_noise(): Adaptive noise estimation
3. Helper functions:
- calculate_measurement_noise(): Variance estimation
- model4_default_process_noise(): Default noise matrix generation
Based on academic research and optimized for trading applications. Perfect for developing sophisticated trading strategies with noise-resistant signal generation.
