It is based on the Awesome Indicator (AO), the difference is this indicator can be customized to track different moving averages and keep track of either long or short term trends. It displays momentum direction too.
The parameters needed are two mandatory and three optional.
1. Fast MA Length. The length of the fast Moving Average

4. Display Signal. Optionally the signal to determine momentum can be displayed as well.

The default parameters are 34-89, but the values depend on which MA pairs you want to study, like 8-21, 21-55, 55-89, 55-144.
