Syntax

Public function ExponentialMovingAverage(ByRef Data As Database, ByRef Source As Field, ByVal Periods As Integer, ByVal StandardDeviations As Integer, ByVal MAType As Integer, Optional ByVal FieldAliasName As String = "") As RecordSet

Overview
Standard Deviation is a common statistical calculation that measures volatility. Other technical indicators are often calculated using standard deviations.

Interpretation
Major highs and lows often accompany extreme volatility. High values of standard deviations indicate that the price or indicator is more volatile than usual. 

Note
StandardDeviations is an integer specifying the number of standard deviations to use in the calculations. 
MAType is an integer specifying the moving average type to be used (Simple = 1, Exponential = 2, TimeSeries = 3, Variable = 4, Triangular = 5, Weighted = 6, VIDYA = 7).
