Double Moving Average
## 📊 Double Moving Average (DMA)
**General Description:**
An indicator composed of two completely independent Moving Averages (MAs), each configured with its own parameters. Unlike a standard MA, each MA #1 and MA #2 can use a different timeframe, even if the chart displays another timeframe.
