Description
TMovingAverageFunction is a descendant of TTeeMovingFunction. It does an average calculation of last Period point values. To see a visual representation of TeeChart Extended Functions, go to the TeeChart User Guide.

Calculation: TMovingAverageFunction will calculate the simple or weighted average of every group of Period points.

Example:

We have a Series with the following Y values: 4 8 2 6 7 2 1

And we want to plot a simple Moving Average of Period: 3

That is: (4+8+2)/3 (8+2+6)/3 (2+6+7)/3 (6+7+2)/3 (7+2+1)/3

Then: 14/3 16/3 15/3 15/3 10/3

New appended points will trigger new MovingAverage points. Changing the Period property (both at design and runtime) will recalculate entirely the MovingAverage.
