Kendall Price Pressure Momentum (PPM)

Description

Price Pressure Momentum (PPM) is a proprietary indicator designed by the trader and portfolio manager veteran Bob Kendall (The Kendall Report -
@PortfolioXpert) back in 80's.

PPM is quite simple indicator measuring SMA percentage change and deriving an SMA line (Brown color line) from that change.

This change SMA is compared to two derivatives/signal lines

I have written this code based on the author's explanation and the visual charts of the PPMs I have seen.

You can see more about PPM from the author himself at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JJxlpG50P0

Default values for the main SMA Period are 10,21 and 40. I'm not sure about the two derived SMAs,
I have tried to visually fit them to the charts I have seen and for 10 main SMA, 10 and 21 derived SMAs (SmoothPeriod & SmoothPeriod2)  seem to fit quite well.

NOTE:       [Parameter("LookBack", DefaultValue = 1)]. This seems to be the one Kendal is using
       

I use this indicator with my manual trading as well as automated systems.
