Arguments

source required series float Series of values to process.
length required series int Number of bars (length).
offset required series float Controls tradeoff between smoothness (closer to 1) and responsiveness (closer to 0).
sigma required series float Changes the smoothness of ALMA. The larger sigma the smoother ALMA.

series float

Example


          indicator("ALMA vs EMA", overlay=true)
length = input(20, title="Moving Average Length")
almaLine = ta.alma(close, length, 0.85, 6)
emaLine = ta.ema(close, length)
plot(almaLine, color=color.blue, title="ALMA", linewidth=2)
plot(emaLine, color=color.red, title="EMA", linewidth=2)
