Hi there! Can anyone please help me

I came across Arnaud Legoux Moving Averages today at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnaud_...Moving_Average
which I thought was interesting.

However, the formula used involves
"1/NORM"

and I don't actually know how to calculate that. Can anyone please explain what "NORM"means?

Thanks.

The Wiki doesn't give full information.

Try going to his site for more info including examples. The MQ4 version is readable code. I haven't finished working through it yet but NORM is most likely just to be a normalizing factor to keep the ma lined up with price.

Thanks.

His pdf file doesn't give much more useful info apart from suggesting that giving a value of 6 to Sigma is recommended.

I am neither a mathematician or serious programmer so I can't make too much sense of the mt4 code.

After trying to think through the logic, I think
NORM = CUMULATIVE-SUM[for i=1 to SIZE, exp(-(i-offset)^2/(sigma)^2)]

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
