ExponentialMovingAverage(EMA)

hhh ggg

Does anyone know:
What is multiplier value in the default EMA function?
How to set the multiplier in the EMA function?

EMA = Closing price x multiplier + EMA (previous day) x (1-multiplier)

Have a look at the code it might help.

class ExponentialMovingAverage(MovingAverageBase):
    '''
    A Moving Average that smoothes data exponentially over time.
    It is a subclass of SmoothingMovingAverage.
      - self.smfactor -> 2 / (1 + period)
      - self.smfactor1 -> `1 - self.smfactor`
    Formula:
      - movav = prev * (1.0 - smoothfactor) + newdata * smoothfactor

    lines = ('ema',)

    def __init__(self):
        # Before super to ensure mixins (right-hand side in subclassing)

            self.data,
