	to configure it. Quotes can come from different stock exchange
	centers around the world, so the prices can have different currencies.
	The automatic translation of currencies can be configured, as well as the translation
	of your purchases done in different countries. Finally, charts are
	available for each of your configured quote.

Questo tipo di media mobile reagisce in maniera più rapida alla variazione dei prezzi, rispetto alla media mobile semplice. Le EMA calcolate su 12 e 26 giorni sono famose medie a breve termine, mentre quelle superiori ai 50 giorni sono utilizzate per indicare gli andamenti di lungo periodo.</para>
