+# RMA: Running Moving Average
+
+> "Wilder didn't like standard EMA weighting. He wanted history to decay slower. So he invented RMA, which is just EMA with a different alpha, confusing traders for 40 years."
+
+The Running Moving Average (RMA), also known as the Smoothed Moving Average (SMMA) or Wilder's Moving Average, is the backbone of J. Welles Wilder's most famous indicators: RSI, ATR, and ADX. It is functionally identical to an Exponential Moving Average (EMA), but with a smoothing factor ($\alpha$) of $1/N$ instead of $2/(N+1)$. This results in a longer "memory" and slower decay than a standard EMA of the same period.
+
+## Historical Context
+
+Introduced by J. Welles Wilder Jr. in his seminal 1978 book, *New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems*. Wilder developed his systems on a programmable calculator (the HP-67), where memory was scarce. The RMA allowed him to update averages without storing a history buffer, using a simple recursive formula. It remains the standard smoothing method for RSI and ATR.
+
+## Architecture & Physics
+
+RMA is an infinite impulse response (IIR) filter. In QuanTAlib, `Rma` is implemented as a zero-cost wrapper around the `Ema` class. It simply instantiates an `Ema` with a modified alpha.
+
+### The Alpha Confusion
+
+Traders often confuse RMA and EMA.
+
+* **EMA**: $\alpha = \frac{2}{N+1}$
+* **RMA**: $\alpha = \frac{1}{N}$
+
+An RMA of period 14 is mathematically equivalent to an EMA of period 27 ($2N-1$).
+
+## Mathematical Foundation
+
+The recursive formula is identical to EMA, differing only in the weight.
+
+### 1. Smoothing Factor
+
+$$ \alpha = \frac{1}{N} $$
+
+### 2. Recursive Update
+
+$$ RMA_t = \alpha \cdot P_t + (1 - \alpha) \cdot RMA_{t-1} $$
+
+Which simplifies to the classic Wilder formula:
+
+$$ RMA_t = \frac{P_t + (N-1) \cdot RMA_{t-1}}{N} $$
+
+## Performance Profile
+
+### Operation Count (Streaming Mode)
+
+RMA is implemented as a zero-cost wrapper around EMA with modified alpha ($\alpha = 1/N$ vs $2/(N+1)$). The operation count is identical to EMA:
+
+| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal |
+| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
+| FMA | 1 | 4 | 4 |
+| MUL | 1 | 3 | 3 |
+| **Total (hot)** | **2** | — | **~7 cycles** |
+
+During warmup (first ~3N bars), additional operations:
+
+| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal |
+| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
+| MUL | 1 | 3 | 3 |
+| SUB | 1 | 1 | 1 |
+| DIV | 1 | 15 | 15 |
+| CMP | 2 | 1 | 2 |
+| **Warmup overhead** | **5** | — | **~21 cycles** |
+
+**Total during warmup:** ~28 cycles/bar; **Post-warmup:** ~7 cycles/bar.
+
+### Quality Metrics
+
+| Metric | Score | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| **Accuracy** | 9/10 | Standard for RSI/ATR calculations |
+| **Timeliness** | 6/10 | Slower than EMA (longer decay) |
+| **Overshoot** | 9/10 | Very stable on reversals |
+| **Smoothness** | 9/10 | Excellent noise rejection |
+
+### Benchmark Results
+
+| Metric | Value | Notes |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Throughput** | ~2 ns/bar | Same as EMA (wrapper overhead negligible) |
+| **Allocations** | 0 bytes | Stack-based calculations only |
+| **Complexity** | O(1) | Constant time update |
+| **State Size** | 32 bytes | Two doubles (RMA, compensator) |
+
+## Validation
+
+Validated against Skender and Ooples.
+
+| Library | Status | Notes |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Skender** | ✅ | Matches `GetSmma` |
+| **Ooples** | ✅ | Matches `CalculateWellesWilderMovingAverage` |
+| **TA-Lib** | N/A | Not implemented |
+
+| **Tulip** | N/A | Not implemented. |
+### Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Initialization**: Like EMA, RMA requires a "warmup" period to converge. Wilder often initialized with a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the first $N$ bars. QuanTAlib follows this convention.
+2. **Naming**: Often called SMMA (Smoothed Moving Average) in other libraries.
+3. **Period Mismatch**: Using an EMA(14) where an RMA(14) is expected will result in a much faster-moving line (equivalent to RMA(7.5)).
