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