ExponentiallyWeightedMovingAverage(SeriesCollection,Double,Int32) Method

Evaluates the (x-day) Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) of a time series provided where x is the length of the time series array which is provided as a parameter, for all periods for which sufficient data is provided.

[C#]
public static SeriesCollection ExponentiallyWeightedMovingAverage( 
   SeriesCollection sc,
   double smoothingFactor,
   int lengthOfMA
);

Parameters

sc

A collection of series objects. For example, to evaluate this indicator for two series you will need to pass a series collection containing this two series.

smoothingFactor

The number between 0 and 1 which is known as a smoothing factor. The closer the value is to zero the more influence more resent measurements will have on the EWMA.

lengthOfMA

The number of periods over which the moving average is evaluated for each period.

Return Type

A series where the first term is the EWMA for the most recent period, the second term is the EWMA for the previous period and so on.
