Description:
This help formula outlines a method for passing user inputs from the "Edit Studies" option to change the parameters of a Moving Average study.

Formula Parameters:

• Input Parameter: Default value
• nLength: 21
• nOffset: 0
• nPriceSorce: C
• valid iputs: O, H, L and C
• nType: MAStudy.SIMPLE
• valid inputs: MAStudy.SIMPLE, MAStudy.EXPONENTIAL, MAStudy.WEIGHTED and MAStudy.VOLUMEWEIGHTED

Notes:
NA
