[blackcat] L1 Variable Index Dynamic Average (VIDYA)

Variable Index Dynamic Average (VIDYA) is a technical indicator that adjusts its sensitivity to market volatility. VIDYA is an exponential moving average (EMA) that uses the standard deviation of price as a measure of volatility. When the market is volatile, the indicator places more weight on recent prices, and when the market is stable, it places more weight on older prices. This makes VIDYA more responsive to market conditions than a regular EMA.

This script is a powerful tool that traders can use to gain valuable insights into market trends and make informed trading decisions.
