    Simple moving average is the simple average of the last 9 period Price

    Exponential moving average different in that when your new value E
    E_new = New_Data * factor + (1 - factor) * E_current

    factor in your case would be 2 / (n + 1) means 2 / ( 9 + 1) = 0.2

    Remember that when you are first calculating EMA(9), for the 10th data the last 9 data would be simple moving average as a starting point and then onwards it would continue as I mentioned above

    Is it not possible to get the calculated moving average value directly from the api instead of calling another program to calculate it ? Looks like the API charges are so high (if all the technical indicators are not provided by the api and manually we have to calculate). I still have to explore it.
