Trade Archer - Moving Averages - v1 — Indicator by tradearcher

ta-mav1 movingaverage tradearcher technicalanalysis charting

A group of four moving averages used for price smoothing. It also creates a cloud between Fast Ma and Medfast MA, Medfast MA and Medslow MA, and Medslow MA and Slow MA. Originally only Exponential Moving Averages were available, however the option to choose SMA, EMA (default), RMA, WMA, and VWMA were added. Also added was the option to choose the source of input. If any interesting additions are added, please let me know so I can update the script.
