Hello,
Because there is an AMA which does that.
http://www.amibroker.com/f?ama
function EMAp( array, periods )
{
return AMA( array, 2 / (periods + 1 ) );
}
Best regards,

Treliff thanks again. Yes that's what also I found when trying these
functions. Where I do not understand why Tomasz did not make the EMA 'variable
period' proof. When using an array for the period in EMA it gives me an error
... Tomasz ?
Regards, Ton.

Welcome. FYI: key is to custom-code any static-period indicator by
using variable-period ones already available in AFL. Always faster
than looping. AFAIK the var-period ones are MA, WMA, DEMA, TEMA, REF,
SUM, HHV, LLV, HHVBars and LLVBars.
