Smoothed MA (Wilder)

The average Welles Wilder used inside RSI and ATR.

Also called RMA. It weights like an EMA of roughly double the length, so SMMA(14) feels like EMA(27).

Use it when you want your own numbers to line up with RSI and ATR.

Watch out

Because it is slower than an EMA of the same number, comparing 'SMMA(21) versus EMA(21)' is comparing two different speeds.
