Various window functions can be used to smooth time series. Window functions can be quite different from each other in their characteristics - the level of smoothing, noise suppression, etc. This indicator allows you to implement the main window functions and evaluate their performance on financial time series.
Indicator parameters:
- iPeriod – indicator period. iPeriod >= 2
- iCenter is the index of the reference where the center of the window function will be located. By default, this parameter is 0 - the center of the window coincides with the center of the indicator. With 1 <= iCenter <= iPeriod, the center of the window function will be shifted, as a result of which some characteristics of the indicator will change. In Figure 1, you can see how the choice of the center affects the window function and the display of the indicator. This parameter can be changed in increments of 0.5.
Some window functions use additional parameters - ParameterA and ParameterB. They affect the window weights. Because of this, the characteristics of the indicator change. The table shows the window functions and the limits for changing parameters if they are used. The distribution of window function weights for given parameters can be estimated using the script https://www.mql5.com/ru/market/product/72156
