DayImpulseOverlay_v1

/*
 * Filename:    DayImpulseOverlay.mq4
 * Author:      DriverDan, based on the original by Tartan at the link below
 * Date:        Nov 3, 2005
 * Description: This is Day Impulse overlaid on the main chart. Requires DayImpulse2DD.
 *              Sums the close - open for the past "per" bars and shifts it forward
 *              "drawShift" bars. Sometimes works well at predicting movement.
 *              Signal2 is just the current bar's close - open shifted "drawShift"
 *              periods forward. This is what you see as the main signal draws. It
 *              isn't updated as time moves forward so that you have something to look
 *              back on.
 *              WARNING: Looking at past bars will be deceiving. It may look like it
 *              predicts perfectly on some pairs but remember that it is constantly
 *              updated. The most accurate live bar is the current one.
 *              The future is not set.
 * Version:     2DD
 *              Released by DriverDan
 *              Almost all of the code has been changed or rewritten.
 *              Added Signal2.
 *              1.1
 *              Released by DriverDan
 *              Fix horrible style, removed extra buffer, changed to draw from the
 *              beginning, added MA, and fixed gaps in signal.
 *              1.0
 *              Initial release
