SMA = (a1start + a1(start + 1) + ... + a1(start + term)) / term

Parameters:

Period Period with which to base the Simple Moving Averagecalculation

Arguments:

OHLC of the Time Frame, or an Output Indicator of a study in the TimeFrame.

Output Indicators:

SMA

Example:

Study Name Expanded in a 3 minute timeframe:

I3_SimpleMA(10)(I3CloseI3)_I3

This study calculates an Simple Moving Average with a period of 10 on the 3 minute time frame, using the close of the 3 minute bar as input argument

The output indicators names are appended to the studyname, that is if the studyname is sn1 then the outputindicator is

sn1::SMA
