The indicator is most accurate on the 1-minute interval, and it loses accuracy at higher intervals due to smoothing. Not recommended for use

Added funding rate for ETHUSD perpetual quanto swaps market (base on .ETHUSDPI). Use the drop-down menu in the indicators settings to switch.

Also removed the dollar sign payout marker because it looked dumb.

• Ported to Pine Script v4
  
• Cosmetic updates
  
• Add option to choose simple or exponential moving average
  
• Preemptively add funding option for XRPUSD perpetual quanto swaps market. This won't work until BitMEX begins sending premium index data to TradingView. I assume this will start when the trading instrument is listed on Feb 5, 2020 (announcement).
  

הערות שחרור:

• Fixed max/min funding rates for ETHUSD and XRPUSD to ±0.75% (XBTUSD max/min funding rate is ±0.375%)
  
• Added workaround for rare issue where missing (NaN) premium index value caused predicted funding rate calculation to also be NaN
