Smoothing Methods

Many technical indicators are based on various methods of the price series smoothing. Some standard technical indicators require specification of the smoothing type as an input parameter. For specifying the desired type of smoothing, identifiers listed in the ENUM_MA_METHOD enumeration are used.

ENUM_MA_METHOD

ID	Description
MODE_SMA	Simple averaging
MODE_EMA	Exponential averaging
MODE_SMMA	Smoothed averaging
MODE_LWMA	Linear-weighted averaging

Example:

double ExtJaws[];
double ExtTeeth[];
double ExtLips[];
//---- handles for moving averages
int    ExtJawsHandle;
int    ExtTeethHandle;
int    ExtLipsHandle;
//--- get MA's handles
ExtJawsHandle=iMA(NULL,0,JawsPeriod,0,MODE_SMMA,PRICE_MEDIAN);
ExtTeethHandle=iMA(NULL,0,TeethPeriod,0,MODE_SMMA,PRICE_MEDIAN);
ExtLipsHandle=iMA(NULL,0,LipsPeriod,0,MODE_SMMA,PRICE_MEDIAN);
