Here is the first hit: Wilder Moving Average Formula Welles Wilder's indicators, including Average True Range do not use the standard exponential moving average formula. The Wilder formula for computing an N-Day Exponential Moving Average is:
You can determine the equivalent non-Wilder Exponential Moving Average using the following formula: Exponential MA Days = (Wilder MA Days X 2) - 1 BR, Dennis On Aug 7, 2010, at 10:07 AM, massandtime wrote: > Can anyone tell me the mathematics of the Wilders function? > > I find I am using it in formulas with out a firm grasp of how it is > calculating it's result. > > Chris > > > > > > ------------------------------------ > > **** IMPORTANT PLEASE READ **** > This group is for the discussion between users only. > This is *NOT* technical support channel. > > TO GET TECHNICAL SUPPORT send an e-mail directly to > SUPPORT {at} amibroker.com > > TO SUBMIT SUGGESTIONS please use FEEDBACK CENTER at > http://www.amibroker.com/feedback/ > (submissions sent via other channels won't be considered) > > For NEW RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENTS and other news always check DEVLOG: > http://www.amibroker.com/devlog/ > > Yahoo!
