Hi there, 1. When one is writing their own init(), start() or deinit() function for an expert, script or indicator is there any significance in the return() value one uses?

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?
