Parameters

s

A series containing the values of the time series being considered. Where the first element gives the last historical value, the second term the previous periods value and so on.

elementValue

Specifies the particular element value (for example High, Low, Close or Open of the financial time series) which will be considered within this indicator evaluation. In particular, if you wish to use the element value high then you should pass the parameter High. In a similarly fashion if you wish to use the low, close or open, then you should pass the parameter Low, Close, Open, respectively.

lengthOfMA

The number of periods considered within the evaluation of the moving average of each of the periods on which it can be evaluated.

Return Value

Illustration

If we are considering a traded asset and the periods considered are days then by passing an array containing the closing daily prices of a given asset, and by choosing to use the 5-day Geometric Moving Average (i.e. passing the length of the GMA of 5), then this method will evaluate the Geometric Moving Average (GMA) for all days for which the closing price on that day and the four previous days is known.
