MA

Summary

Generic moving-average dispatcher that forwards the job to a concrete MA implementation selected by optInMAType. Single uniform interface over all TA-Lib moving averages.

Formula

outReal = MA_of_type(optInMAType)(inReal, optInTimePeriod); default type = SMA

Notes

A period of 1 performs no smoothing for every MAType: the output is a copy of the input.

Inputs

inReal — Series to average

Outputs

outReal — Selected moving average of the input

Parameters

optInTimePeriod — Averaging window length
optInMAType — Which moving-average algorithm to dispatch to
