Exponential Moving Average API FAQs
How do you calculate the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) data on the Technical Indicators endpoint?
For the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), the period calculates the ema over the 13 most recent daily intervals. It aligns with the indicator period. For example, if you used the daily technical indicator and set the period to 13, it would calculate EMA using data from the last 13 days.
Which Exponential Moving Average (EMA) do you use?
The "EMA" corresponds to the period you set for the technical indicator.
What does the “period=” parameter mean on the Technical Indicator endpoints?
The “period=” parameter is a period for the type, for example, “sma” is a simple moving average, so if the period is 20 (period=20), it will be on the last 20 candles like the last 20 periods.
What is the time zone for the Intraday endpoint?
In general, the time zone for the endpoints corresponds to the country/region the exchange is located in. For example, stocks traded on the NYSE are on the EST time zone, and stocks traded on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) correspond to the GMT zone.
Is the Intraday price adjusted?
Yes, the intraday data is adjusted for split.
When the End of Day (EOD) data are updated?
The End of Day (EOD) data is updated in real time after the market is closed.
Why doesn’t the return data match the closing price data, and how are the return periods calculated?
The return values and price data may not always match exactly due to different methodologies used in return calculations. Here's how returns are calculated in the Returns Endpoint: Current Day Return: Calculated using intraday price change (from today’s open to current price). 5-Day Return: Uses the current price divided by the opening price from 5 trading days ago, not the close. This approach was adopted to align with practices used by other major platforms. 1M/3M/6M/1Y Returns and beyond: Calculated using closing prices from the relevant date range. This mix of methodologies—particularly the use of open vs. close prices for short-term returns—can cause slight inconsistencies when compared directly with end-of-day (EOD) pricing. If you'd like help aligning these values for your specific use case, feel free to reach out.
