Technicals
SMA 15 Day Average of the last 15 days' close values (including today). If the market hasn't closed yet, it uses the current price for today's close.
SMA 60 Day Average of the last 60 days' close values (including today). If the market hasn't closed yet, it uses the current price for today's close.
SMA 120 Day Average of the last 120 days' close values (including today). If the market hasn't closed yet, it uses the current price for today's close.
EMA 15 Day While similar to the SMA above, the exponential moving average uses a "smoothing factor" to give more weight to recent prices, while still allowing all data in the window to influence the average.
