This seems like it's correct, and it does plot, but I don'thave any EasyLanguage numbers to compare to. I wrote up a C program to perform the computation, and the shape of the resulting plot seems identical to what metastock gives, but the actual numbers are off. Your line of thinking seems to me to be correct, however. I'll try to do some more verfication.

Jeff,
I worked on this for a time last July. Incorporating Dave's improvements, I came up with the following for Ehlers code for the modified optimum elliptic filter and detrender as described on p.29. Although I'm not impressed with the output, this may be something you can use.​
