Simple Moving Average API

Arithmetic mean of an asset's closing prices over a fixed look-back window, smoothing short-term noise to expose the underlying trend.

About Simple Moving Average API

The SMA is computed as the unweighted average of the last N closes for the requested timeframe. Traders use it to identify trend direction, define dynamic support and resistance, and generate crossover signals against price or against a second SMA of different length. Because every observation carries equal weight, the SMA reacts more slowly than weighted variants such as EMA or WMA.
