BatMA indicator: modified moving average
BatMA indicator is a modified standard Moving Average indicator.
BatMA indicator provides the ability to use both conventional averaging methods (SMA, SMMA, LWMA, EMA), and averaging by means of a second-order Butterworth filter. In radio engineering, a similar filter is used to separate frequency signals.

MA_Shift - indicator line shift relative to the price chart, in bars;
MA_Method - moving average averaging method:
- 0 - simple moving average (SMA),
