This is a oil trend following indicator, similar to the moving averages - it is drawn using a 2 period simple moving average. The moving average is then smoothed to create a total of ten moving averages. First moving average is the basis, then the next moving average is calculated using the first one, the third is then calculated using the second one & so on. This forms a rainbow shape of the trend, each moving average is applied with a different colors so as to look as a rainbow.
