This indicator is a modification of the classical version. It computes the smoothed rate of change of two exponential moving averages. More precisely, the indicator has 5 inputs: shortmean, mediummean, and longmean stand for three exponential averages (by default 18, 40, and 200, respectively). The last two inputs indicate the exponential average for the rate of change between the shortmean-mediummean and mediummean-longmean. In the following image, you can see this indicator in a hourly chart of USDJPY with inputs 5, 34, and 200 for the exponential means and 12 and 18 for the means of the rates of change. You can compare the indicator with the classical awesome indicator, which has inputs for the exponential averages of 5 and 34.
