SO_DIST_MOVING_AVG_SMOOTHING

This parameter indicates which calculation to use when applying smoothing to distributions. When set to true, smoothing is performed using a modified moving average calculation with a five-interval window. When set to false, smoothing is performed using a modified moving sum calculation with a five-interval window.

Although the difference between the two is minor, the moving sum (set to false) is more accurate because there is no loss of precision due to the implicit division required in calculating an average. Where volumes are high, the difference between the two is negligible, but becomes more and more prevalent as volumes approach zero.

This parameter has no effect unless the SO_DIST_APPLY_ SMOOTHING parameter value is set to true. See SO_DIST_APPLY_SMOOTHING.
