Parameters
- formulaName
- A FinancialFormula enumeration value that determines the technical analysis or time series formula to be used.
- inputSeries
- Series object that has the formula applied to it. The first Y-value of each data point will be used.
- outputSeries
- Series object that stores the formula data points. If it does not exist an exception will be thrown.

Remarks
This method applies a formula to the first Y-values of a series' data points.
This particular function definition cannot be used for those formulas that must:
- Have multiple data point values for input/output. To use multiple values use another definition that takes a string expression for the input (inputSeriesNames) and/or output (outputSeriesNames).
- Have a parameter argument specified (use another definition that takes a parameters argument).
Each particular formula has certain requirements, which are listed in the formula topics located in the "Formula Reference" folder.
If the specified output series has not been created and added to the SeriesCollection when this function call is made an exception will be thrown.
Note: If you are applying an averaging formula (e.g. Simple Moving Average) see the StartFromFirst property.
For an overview of how to apply a formula see the Using Financial Formulas topic. For a detailed discussion on a particular formula see that formula's topic in the "Formula Reference" folder.
