How To Calculate Simple Moving Average (SMA) using C#?

@adolf 

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to calculate a Simple Moving Average (SMA) using C#:

1. Define the necessary variables:

1
2
3

int period = 10; // the period for which the SMA will be calculated
List<double> data = new List<double>(); // the list of data points
List<double> smaValues = new List<double>(); // the list to store the SMA values

1. Populate the data list with the data points for which you want to calculate the SMA.
2. Calculate the SMA using the following code:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16

for (int i = 0; i < data.Count; i++)
{
    double smaValue = 0;
    
    if (i >= period - 1)
    {
        for (int j = 0; j < period; j++)
        {
            smaValue += data[i - j];
        }
        
        smaValue = smaValue / period;
    }
    
    smaValues.Add(smaValue);
}

1. The smaValues list now contains the SMA values for each data point in the data list.
2. You can then use the smaValues list to display or further analyze the SMA values.
