Re: [amibroker] Different daily EMA values when viewed from lower timeframes?

When you create longer timeframe indicators, you use either "expandfirst" or
"expand last" parameters.

"Expandfirst" will "look forward" to the end of the period. For example if
you are doing a 5 period expansion, then if the 1st regular period is
higher, the entire expanded 5 period bar will be high ... which can changes
in the next 4 bars.
