TheLark LMA (Laguerre) v2 - multi timeframe

What's new?
v2 has added multi timeframe support.
Blatantly stole Chris Moody's code for multi timeframe, because why re-invent the wheel? Thanks Chris ;P
BUT -- modified the coloring to work correctly with higher timeframes, just another Lark hack, so it's a give and take :)
_____________________________
The Laguerre Average (filter) was discovered by John Ehlers.
It's a newer type of averaging that is meant to take out as much of the
inherent lag that your typical EMA and SMA's give at the start of a major trend change.
So what you get is an average that turns more quickly at major trend changes,
and doesn't get tripped up on the noise (as much).
