# BLMA: Blackman Window Moving Average
| Property | Value |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------- |
| **Category** | Trend (FIR MA) |
| **Inputs** | Source (close) |
| **Parameters** | `period` |
| **Outputs** | Single series (Blma) |
| **Output range** | Tracks input |
| **Warmup** | `period` bars |
### TL;DR
- The Blackman Window Moving Average (BLMA) applies a triple-cosine window function from digital signal processing to financial time series.
- Parameterized by `period`.
- Output range: Tracks input.
- Requires `period` bars of warmup before first valid output (IsHot = true).
- Validated against TA-Lib, Skender, and Tulip reference implementations where available.

The Blackman Window Moving Average (BLMA) applies a triple-cosine window function from digital signal processing to financial time series. Originally developed by **Ralph Beebe Blackman** at Bell Labs in the 1950s for spectral analysis, this filter provides superior noise suppression compared to standard moving averages by minimizing spectral leakage.

### Common Pitfalls
* **Lag**: BLMA has more lag than EMA or WMA because it suppresses the most recent data. It is a smoothing filter, not a leading indicator.
* **Warmup**: During the first $N$ bars, the window expands dynamically. The full noise-suppression characteristics are only achieved after $N$ bars.
