About Moving Average Technical Indicator Explained
Moving Average Technical Analysis and Moving Average Signals
An technical indicator that calculates the average value of prices (or any specified data sequence) over a pre determined period of time.
The only significant difference between the various types of MAs is the weight allocated to the most recent data. Simple moving averages apply equal weight to the prices. Exponential and weighted averages apply more weight to recent prices.
Explanation
The most popular method of interpreting the MA is to compare the relationship between the MA of the price with the price itself. A buy signal is generated when the price rises above its MA and a sell signal is generated when the price falls below its MA.
MA Indicator
Buy & Sell Signals generated by MA crossing above or below the price action.
