Add an Indicator to a Series

This example demonstrates how to build a exponential moving average indicator for Close values of a stock series.

Add the ExponentialMovingAverageIndicator object to the chart’s collection of series (ChartView.Series).
Set the indicator’s Data property to a CalculatedSeriesDataAdapter class instance. Use this object’s Series property to specify a series for which the indicator should be calculated.
Use the ValueLevel and PointsCount properties to specify the price level of a financial series point and the number of data points used to calculate the indicator.
