Calculation of the Moving Average

The XAUUSD Trading Moving Average is also known as Moving Average - is calculated as an average of gold price using the most recent gold price data.

If the Moving Average uses the 10 period to calculate the average of the gold price then it is referred to as a 10 period xauusd moving average, because most xauusd traders use the day as the standard gold price period we shall just refer to it as the 10 day MA.

To calculate the ten day Moving Average the gold price of the last 10 days is averaged, the xauusd moving average indicator is then updated constantly after every new gold price period. So after every new gold price period is formed the moving average is then calculated afresh using the most recent 10 gold price periods, that is why it is called a moving average because the average is constantly moving when gold price data is updated.
