What does Smoothed MA measure?
The smoothed moving average — the same slow, sticky line as Wilder's RMA, under its other common name.
How is Smoothed MA calculated?
Start from a plain average of the first 14 closes. Then each candle, move the line just one 14th of the way toward the new close.
Written by reading the engine’s real computation, not a textbook — where the two differ, the page describes what actually runs.
How do I use Smoothed MA in a bot?
In the builder, add an indicator of type smma (parameters: length, default 14). Its value becomes an operand you can compare in any entry or exit rule. The engine grades the whole rule honestly: real fills, no look-ahead, half the history held back.
