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

The only significant difference between the various types of MAs is weight given to the most recent data. Simple moving averages apply equal weight to the metals prices. Exponential & weighted averages apply more weight to recent metals prices.
