# ZLEMA - Zero Lag Exponential Moving Average
#### Description
The Zero Lag Exponential Moving Average is another variation of the EMA. Zero lag in this context signifies no delay, which means that the indicator adapts to the price changes more closely. The indicator does so by removing older price data and decreasing the cumulative effect in order to minimize the lag.
#### Further information
FMLabs:
#### Usage
```csharp
ZLEMA(int period)
ZLEMA(IDataSeries inSeries, int period)
ZLEMA(int period)[int barsAgo]
ZLEMA(IDataSeries inSeries, int period)[int barsAgo]
```
#### Return value
**double**
When using this method with an index (e.g. **ZLEMA**(14)\[**int** barsAgo] ), the value of the indicator will be issued for the referenced bar.
#### Parameters
inSeries Input data series for the indicator
period Number of bars included in the calculations
#### Visualization
#### Example
```csharp
//Output for the value of the Zero Lag Exponential Moving Average
Print("The current ZLEMA value is " + ZLEMA(14)[0]);
```
