Description
How to add a legend to the plots? For example, if using several moving averages it will be useful to show a legend to map moving averages to line plots.
Is clear how this is done using matplotlib but I did not see an example of how to do so using the mplfinance package.
TIA,

Research direction
The issue names mplfinance plots and matplotlib but no source files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the plotting API and the existing moving-average examples, then clarify the intended legend interface and expected behavior. Done should include supported legend behavior with an example or test, once the scope is agreed.
