Moving average



The moving average indicator is a commonly used technical analysis tool in finance and trading. It calculates the average price of a financial instrument over a specified period of time. By plotting this moving average line on a price chart, traders can identify trends and potential entry or exit points.

There are different types of moving averages, such as Simple Moving Average (SMA) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA). SMA calculates the average price over a specific number of periods by summing the prices and dividing by the number of periods. EMA places more weight on recent prices, making it more responsive to recent price changes.

Traders use moving averages to smooth out price fluctuations and gain insights into the underlying trend.
