Understanding Smoothed Moving Averages

Picture of Robert Darin (Rose Heart), Owner/Developer

The smoothed moving average (SMMA) is a type of technical analysis indicator that is used to smooth out fluctuations in a data series and provide a clearer picture of the underlying trend. It is similar to a simple moving average (SMA), but gives more weight to the most recent data points in the series.

To calculate the SMMA, we first need to define the period, or the number of data points used in the calculation. For example, if we use a period of 10, the SMMA will be based on the average of the previous 10 data points.

To calculate the SMMA for a given period, we first need to calculate the simple moving average (SMA) using the following formula:

SMA = (Sum of data points in the period) / period

Once we have calculated the SMA, we can then use it to calculate the SMMA using the following formula:

SMMA = (previous SMMA x (period - 1) + current data point) / period

It is important to note that the first SMMA value cannot be calculated until there are at least "period" number of data points in the series. Until then, the SMMA will be equal to the SMA.

One advantage of the SMMA is that it gives more weight to the most recent data points, which can be useful in identifying trends or making predictions about future data. However, it can also be slower to react to changes in the data series, as it takes more data points to significantly affect the SMMA.

The SMMA can be used in a variety of contexts, including stock analysis, forex trading, and other financial markets. It can be used on its own or in combination with other technical analysis indicators to provide a more complete picture of the underlying trend.

In summary, the smoothed moving average (SMMA) is a technical analysis indicator that is used to smooth out fluctuations in a data series and provide a clearer picture of the underlying trend. It is calculated by taking the average of the previous "period" number of data points, with more weight given to the most recent data points. The SMMA can be used in a variety of contexts and can be combined with other indicators to provide a more comprehensive analysis of the data.
