RMA

Rolling Moving Average — a smoothed moving average equivalent to Wilder’s method. RMA (Rolling/Wilder Moving Average) is a type of exponential moving average with a smaller smoothing coefficient: k = 1/period instead of 2/(period+1) as in a standard EMA. Used inside ATR, ADX and RSI. Reacts to changes more slowly than a standard EMA of the same period.

Formula:

RMA = RMA_prev + (Close - RMA_prev) / period
equivalent to EMA with k = 1/period
