Illustration
If we are considering a traded asset and the periods considered are days then by
passing an array containing the closing daily prices of a given asset, and by choosing
to use the 5-day moving average (i.e. passing a length of the MA of 5),
then this method will evaluate the Moving Average (MA) for all days for which the closing
price on that day and the four previous days is known.
