python - How to reverse engineer exponential moving average given the last known ema -


i've been trying reverse enginner series of ema given last known ema. should able done simple arithmetic manipulation of exponential moving average equation : 

multiplier= (2 / (time periods + 1) ) ema = {close - ema(previous day)} x multiplier + ema(previous day)

which gives me:

ema(previous day) = (ema(today) - close * multiplier)/(1 - multiplier)

hence, following function defined follows:

def ema(df, last_ma ,period):      ema = [last_ma]     k = 2/(period+1)      in range(len(df)-1,0,-1):          prev_ema = (last_ma - df['close'][i] * k)/(1-k)         print(last_ma, df['close'][i], prev_ema)         last_ma = prev_ema          ema.append(prev_ema)      ema.reverse()  return ema

the problem values appended list ema keeps getting larger , larger, went infinity. there nothing wrong data set, guessing wrong logic of code, can't figure out why. appreciated. thanks.

the link below data wish work on, last known ema number using -23628.2 , 200-period exponential moving average.

after doing research, guess due floating point precision error when performing such calculations on large array of data points.

the fundamental problem math unstable.

when going forward, each step multiplies previous ema multiplier between 0 , 1. means influence of given close dies off exponentially (thus name exponential moving average).

however, when going backwards, each step divides following ema multiplier. means influence of given data point increases exponentially, rather dying out.

if math perfect, , got numbers right, wouldn't matter. however, floating point errors also magnified exponentially, repeatedly amplified noise outgrow signal.

there's no simple way fix this. obvious thing try try going forwards instead of backwards, it's not clear if that's compatible goal.

android - InAppBilling registering BroadcastReceiver in AndroidManifest -

i'm implementing inapp billing in android app. works well, however, i'm trying decouple broadcast receiver activity manifest. suggestion in android's trivialdrive sample: // important: dynamically register broadcast messages updated purchases. // register receiver here instead of <receiver> in manifest // because call getpurchases() @ startup, therefore can ignore // broadcasts sent while app isn't running. // note: registering listener in activity bad idea, done here // because sample. regardless, receiver must registered after // iabhelper setup, before first call getpurchases(). currently there's class extends broadcastreceiver : public class iabbroadcastreceiver extends broadcastreceiver { /** * intent action receiver should filter for. */ public static final string action = "com.android.vending.billing.purchases_updated"; private final iabbroadcastlistener mlistener; public iabbroadcastreceiver(iabbroadcastlistener listener) { m...

python Tkinter Capturing keyboard events save as one single string -

is possible store keyboard events 1 string? code below stores 1 char , prints it. card reader or bar code reader, contains collection of character/ string not 1 character @ time. goal save char pressed text variable. from tkinter import * root = tk() def key(event): text= event.char text+= event.char print ("pressed", text) def callback(event): frame.focus_set() print ("clicked at", event.x, event.y) frame = frame(root, width=100, height=100) frame.bind("<key>", key) frame.bind("<button-1>", callback) frame.pack() root.mainloop() currently, creating text variable , everytime key() function gets called, , text stores last character typed. you can define text module level variable , , use module level text inside key function - text = '' def key(event): global text text+= event.char print("pressed", text)

sql server - Why does Linq-to-SQL add unnecessary COUNT()? -

here tables: create table customer ( cid int primary key, name varchar(32) ) create table ord ( oid int primary key, cid int foreign key references customer, address varchar(20) ) here's linq-to-sql statement: var aaa = c in db.customer select new { c, o = c.ord.tolist() }; and here's inexplicable query generated linq-to-sql: select [t0].[cid] [cid], [t0].[name] [name], [t1].[oid] [oid], [t1].[cid] [cid2], [t1].[address] [address], (select count(*) [dbo].[ord] [t2] [t2].[cid] = [t0].[cid]) [value] [dbo].[customer] [t0] left outer join [dbo].[ord] [t1] on [t1].[cid] = [t0].[cid] order [t0].[cid], [t1].[oid] i want understand how rid of count(*) part. it's entirely uncalled for! linq needs count(*) in order determine number of entries returned o = c.ord.tolist() .
