length = input.int(50, "Length", minval = 1, maxval = 500)
lineColor = input.color(#2962ff, "Color")
plot(ta.sma(close, length), "sma", color = lineColor, linewidth = 2)

Overview

The length input sets the number of periods averaged, defaulting to 50 and ranging from 1 to 500. The lineColor input allows customization of the plot color. This indicator overlays the SMA line on the main chart without generating buy or sell signals, entries, exits, stop loss, or take profit levels. It serves as a basic trend tool usable on any market or timeframe.
