Hi, If you shift a SMA of 100 periods half a cycle to the left (-50), you get a great picture, which other type of MA comes close to this curve? I've tested a lot of things already and it seems that a JMA comes the closest. What do you guys think?

I've created an indicator that others may or may not find useful. Essentially you no longer have to have the "trades" section at the bottom of your screen. It will show you the total profit and profit on that symbol, so there's no need to look down or have it enlarged. When big is set to "true" you...

Hi all, I asked this question in another forum but it was moved, I think it was meant to be moved to this one but instead it got buried in another thread.
