Metastock has his Smoothing MA from their help:

The Wilder's Smoothing indicator was developed by Welles Wilder, best known as the developer of the Directional Movement system (see Directional Movement) and the Relative Strength Index (see Relative Strength Index).
Wilder used this smoothing indicator as a component of many of his other studies. It is basically a type of moving average, similar to the "exponential" method in that it retains a decreasingly smaller percentage of all historical data in the series.

The Wilder's Smoothing indicator should be used just as you would use a moving average. Although similar to the exponential, weighted, and triangular moving average methods in how it has a "memory" of all historical data, the Wilder's Smoothing method seems to be the least responsive of the three.
