+John F. Ehlers's solution to reduce lag and remove aliasing noise with his
+research in aerospace analog filter design. This indicator comes with two
+versions determined by the keyword poles. By default, it uses two poles but
+there is an option for three poles. Since SSF is a (Resursive) Digital Filter,
+the number of poles determine how many prior recursive SSF bars to include in
+the design of the filter. So two poles uses two prior SSF bars and three poles
+uses three prior SSF bars for their filter calculations.
