Best of Rainbow MA

The indicator proposes to calculate a series of several moving averages in a row (up to 5 maximum). Each of them smoothes the previous one, forming a “rainbow” type indicator.

The first moving average is calculated on the price Close, and the following ones smooth each of the previous ones with the same calculation period, which can be modified in the parameters. The type of moving average can also be changed at will with the “MAmode” setting.

The result is a cluster of moving averages of different colors to be applied to the price chart.

This indicator has been converted from LUA language following a request on the indicators forum.
