Indicator Input Parameters:
- Simple Moving Average
- Exponential Moving Average
- Smoothed Moving Average
- Linear Weighted Moving Average
- JMA Adaptive Average
- Ultralinear Smoothing
- Parabolic Smoothing
- Tillson's Multiple Exponential Smoothing
- Smoothing with Tushar Chande's Algorithm
- Smoothing with Perry Kaufman's Algorithm
Note that phase parameters for different smoothing algorithms have distinct meanings. For JMA, it's an external variable ranging from -100 to +100. For T3, it's the smoothing ratio multiplied by 100 for visualization. For VIDYA, it's the CMO oscillator period, and for AMA, it's the slow EMA period. These parameters do not affect smoothing in other algorithms. In AMA, the fast EMA period is fixed at 2, and the ratio of raising to the power is also 2.
This indicator utilizes the SmoothAlgorithms.mqh library classes (to be copied to terminal_data_folder\mql5\include). The use of these classes is detailed in the referenced article.
