What is the difference between SMA and EMA?

SMA (Simple Moving Average) gives equal weight to all data points in the period, while EMA (Exponential Moving Average) applies more weight to recent data, making it more responsive to new changes.

Can I process CSV files with this tool?

Yes, select 'CSV format' in the data format settings and ensure your input follows the date,value structure.

What does the Smoothing Factor do?

The smoothing factor determines the weight applied to the most recent data point in an EMA calculation; if left blank, it defaults to 2/(period+1).

How are trading signals generated?

Signals are generated by identifying crossover points where the calculated moving average intersects with your original data series.

What is the maximum period I can set?

You can set a moving average period between 2 and 100 to suit your specific analytical needs.
