Overview

Root Mean Squared Logarithmic Error (RMSLE) squares the difference of the logarithms of one plus each series, averages those values over the lookback with a circular buffer, and takes the square root. The RMSLE series is drawn as a red area in a separate pane, while the EMA is overlaid on the price chart. Source and period change the comparison series and the averaging window. It does not generate trade signals or exits.
