The indicator that displays "averaged" candlesticks of a larger timeframe at a smaller one.
Smoothing transformation is applied to all elements of a price candlestick in this indicator: Open, Low, High and Close. The indicator provides a clear graphical representation of a current market trend. A color of a candlestick determines trend direction and its body size shows the power of the current trend.
This indicator allows to select a smoothing type out of ten possible versions:
- SMA - simple moving average;
- EMA - exponential moving average;
- SMMA - smoothed moving average;
- LWMA - linear weighted moving average;
- JJMA - JMA adaptive average;
- JurX - ultralinear smoothing;
- ParMA - parabolic smoothing;
- T3 - Tillson's multiple exponential smoothing;
- VIDYA - smoothing with the use of Tushar Chande's algorithm;
- AMA - smoothing with the use of Perry Kaufman's algorithm.
It should be noted that Phase type parameters for different smoothing algorithms have completely different meaning. For JMA it is an external Phase variable changing from -100 to +100. For T3 it is a smoothing ratio multiplied by 100 for better visualization, for VIDYA it is a CMO oscillator period and for AMA it is a slow EMA period. In other algorithms these parameters do not affect smoothing. For AMA fast EMA period is a fixed value and is equal to 2 by default. The ratio of raising to the power is also equal to 2 for AMA.
The indicator uses SmoothAlgorithms.mqh library classes (must be copied to the terminal_data_folder\MQL5\Include). The use of the classes was thoroughly described in the article "Averaging Price Series for Intermediate Calculations Without Using Additional Buffers".

The indicator shows the current price in one of the chart corners.
![Three Pole Butterworth Filter](https://c.mql5.com/i/code/indicator.png)
Three pole Butterworth filter is used for smoothing in this moving average calculation algorithm.

A library for parsing of XML documents. Pure MQL5, it doesn't uses any external libraries.

Three-pole super smoother filter from John Ehlers' book "Cybernetic Analysis for Stocks and Futures: Cutting-Edge DSP Technology to Improve Your Trading" is used in this indicator for moving average calculation.
