EMA: Exponential Moving Average
EMA needs very short history buffer and calculates the EMA value using just the
previous EMA value. The weight of the new datapoint (k) is k = 2 / (period-1)

Issues:
There is no consensus what the first EMA value should be - a zero, a first
datapoint, or an average of the initial Period bars. All three starting methods
converge within 20+ bars to the same moving average. Most implementations (including this one)
use SMA() for the first Period bars as a seeding value for EMA.
