[R-SIG-Finance] Fwd: RBloomberg EMA Calculation

[Nils Tobias Kramer]

If you have the bloomberg api (the excel addin) running you can press this little fx symbol left of the formular. This will explain every single parameter and also all the options you got for those parameters.

I usually use BDH and BDP, haven't tried with BTH but pretty sure this should be the same.
