EMA Description Needs Updating
Expected Behavior
The description of the EMA indicator mentions that the only way to warm up an EMA is to use all of the historical data for the security. This is because the EMA doesn't calculate its value from just an internal look-back window (like SMA). Instead, some information from all of the historical bars pumped through the indicator stays within its calculation formula.
Actual Behavior
The description of the EMA indicator doesn't mention that the only way to warm up an EMA is to use all of the historical data for the security. As a result, the EMA indicator reference page doesn't mention this limitation.
Potential Solution
Extend the description of the EMA indicator so that this limitation shows up in the docs.
