Calculated EMA seems not accurately

[redstrike]

I am trying to calculate EMA and SMA of the same data values. However, the result is the same. When comparing to TradingView's calculated EMA, it's not matched.

Same for MACD

Probably because it's using EMA by default

@redstrike EMA looks correct. Depending on the parameters they can yield the same results or not.

Look at this example:

const SMA = require('technicalindicators').SMA let period = 3; let values = [1.5554, 1.5555, 1.5558,1.5560]; SMA.calculate({period : period, values : values})

const EMA = require('technicalindicators').EMA let period = 3; let values = [1.5554, 1.5555, 1.5558,1.5560]; EMA.calculate({period : period, values : values})

@juanvisoler I did an EMA calculation with a larger dataset before trying the above simple example and compare it with other true sources such as TradingView, and believe that EMA result is not accurate.

@redstrike can you give an example?

finmath's EMA result is more accurate as expected. Also, I compare the result with TradingView's calculated result, so I want to report this issue. If you believe that technicalindicators' EMA result is correct, then I have no more comment.

我用EMA计算的结果也是有问题哎

是我错了，当数据量较小时计算结果似乎不正确，但当数据量足够大时是没问题的，这个库非常棒

唯一的遗憾是只能nextValue不能updateCurrentValue

@anandanand84 can you please look into this issue please? looks like this is what's causing the issue in MACD(EMA based) as mentioned here: https://github.com/anandanand84/technicalindicators/issues/249#issuecomment-1321147767

Also comparing it to TradingView's EMA and seems incorrect
