Triangular Moving Average (TMA)

Moving average Indicators are used to define the direction of the trend. To render a TMA Indicator, use indicator Type as Tma .

Bollinger Band

A Stock Chart overlay that shows the upper and lower limits of normal price movements based on the standard deviation of prices.
To render a Bollinger Band, use indicator Type as BollingerBand.Bollinger band will be represented by three lines (upperLine, lowerLine, signalLine).(https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/aspnetcore-js2/Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.StockChartStockChartIndicator.html#Syncfusion_EJ2_Charts_StockChartStockChartIndicator_Type) and StandardDeviations is 2.
