Calculation of the Moving Average
The Commodity Trading Moving Average is also known as Moving Average - is calculated as an average of commodity price using the most recent commodity price data.
If the Moving Average uses the 10 period to calculate the average of the commodity price then it is referred to as a 10 period commodity trading moving average, because most traders use the day as the standard commodity price period we shall just refer to it as the 10 day MA.
To calculate the ten day Moving Average the commodity price of the last 10 days is averaged, the commodity trading moving average indicator is then updated constantly after every new commodity price period. So after every new commodity price period is formed the moving average is then calculated afresh using the most recent 10 commodity price periods, that is why it is called a moving average because the average is constantly moving when price data is updated.
