MA Commodity Analysis & MA Trading Signals

An technical indicator that calculates the average value of prices (or any specified price data series) over a predetermined period of time.

The only significant difference between the various types of MAs is the weight assigned 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 Moving Average.
