Post From: Relative Moving Average study

A relative moving average is like an exponential moving average but has different smoothing as it places less importance on the last price.

The smoothing is calculated as "1/length" in an RMA while it's "2/(1+length)" in an EMA.

Using the spreadsheet examples for EMA, I think I can easily code this with a minor change to the EMA formula. Cell $H$2 has the length value, E3 is closing price, and the formula would be in P3.

EMA: =(E3 - P4) * (2 / (1 + $H$2)) + P4
RMA: =(E3 - P4) * (1 / $H$2) + P4
