- SimpleMA(n:) - Moving Average over the last n day/data.
- EMA(a:) - Exponential Moving Average with "a" as the alpha parameter.
- IEMA(g:) - Exponential Moving Average over an irregular timed events serie with "a" as the alpha parameter.
- NDayEMA(n:) - Exponential Moving Average over n day/data as defined in wikipedia. Equivalent to using EMA(a) with a = 2/(n+1).
- CMA - Cumulative Moving Average.
Every function is provided as a class, it can either recursively compute the moving average as new value are given or be initialized to continue from a certain point provided you give the necessary information. Let see: ##Exponential Moving Average (EMA) ###Recursive every time you compute the ema with a new event value, you get it. I included only the first and last one here.

days = 6
