Expanded description to clearly explain:

What the script does:
ICMA blends four types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA) into a single, faster, smoother signal.

How it works:
Calculates each MA individually, then averages them together to produce the ICMA output - (SMA + EMA + HMA + WMA) / 4.

How to use it:
Use ICMA like any normal moving average - same input settings - but benefit from more responsiveness and reduced noise. Shorter lengths for scalping, longer for swing trading.

What makes it original:
Unlike single-composite MAs like the Hull MA, ICMA blends four distinct moving averages (SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA) into one, delivering a more balanced hybrid signal that enhances both speed and smoothness beyond traditional designs.

Additional features:
The script allows plotting up to four separate ICMA instances ("ribbon style") with independent inputs and colours. ICMA can also be adjusted for different timeframes, providing maximum flexibility across trading strategies.

No changes to script logic - update addresses moderation feedback for clarity. Enjoy, and feel free to test it against your usual moving average setups or integrate it into your algos. Let me know if it gives your trading style the edge it gave mine!
