[amibroker] Re: Smothed Moving Average

Unless I'm missing something ... For languages that only have 
capabilities to perform calculations a bar at a time this form of 
calculation imbedded in a loop would clearly be quicker then a 
standard formula although it would produce the same results as a 
standard SMA.

In AB/AFL you can calculate it as ...

MAx = MA(Close, N);

which will simply calculate all the MAx's in the array as a function 
of what you requested and still be faster then the other methodology 
in another language.
