        .SYNOPSIS
            Retrieves Simple Moving Average (SMA) technical indicator data for a specified symbol.

        .DESCRIPTION
            The Get-FMPSimpleMovingAverage function calculates and returns the Simple Moving Average (SMA)

            time period and helps identify trend directions and potential support/resistance levels.

        .PARAMETER Symbol
            Specifies the stock symbol (e.g., AAPL, MSFT) for which to retrieve the SMA.
            This parameter is mandatory.

        .PARAMETER PeriodLength
            Specifies the number of periods to consider for calculating the SMA.
            This parameter is mandatory.

        .PARAMETER Timeframe
            Specifies the timeframe to use for calculations.
            Valid values include: 1min, 5min, 15min, 30min, 1hour, 4hour, 1day, 1week, 1month.
            The default value is "1day".

        .PARAMETER ApiKey
            Specifies your Financial Modeling Prep API key. If omitted, the function attempts to retrieve it
            using Get-FMPCredential.

        .EXAMPLE
            Get-FMPSimpleMovingAverage -Symbol AAPL -PeriodLength 50 -Timeframe 1day

        .NOTES
            This is a premium endpoint, and requires a paid subscription. This function uses the Financial Modeling Prep API's SMA endpoint.
