Moving averages have upsides and downsides vs fixed growth. Moving averages=
are backwards looking and don't handle seasonalities or unanticipated incre=
ases in demand very well.
Think "Black Friday" or the horribly named "Cyber=20
Monday" in retail or market hysteria where millions of noobs jump into or ou=
t of bitcoin.
If you want to create fee pressure I think this can be done, but I would kee=
p both of these in mind before choosing a value for N. Adjustments would ne=
ed to be frequent and nimble enough to handle seasonalities and other unanti=
cipated outliers.
