Re: MA types as INPUT

You can input only numbers as far as I am aware.

However, by assigning numbers to do a certain type of moving average you
could accomplish what you require.

eg

matype:=input("enter MAA type 1=simple, 2= exponential"),1,2,2);

maout:=if(matype=1,mov(c,periods,S),
                if(matype=2,mov(c,periods,E),{otherwise}0));

this will generate a simple or exponential MA depending on input
