What Is the Gaussian Channel Indicator?

The Gaussian channel indicator is a technical indicator which defines price trends in the financial markets by minimizing the lag.

While Gauss did not have access to modern statistical software, nor did he intend to trade commodities, his statistical models have proved extremely powerful in interpreting price movements in financial markets.
