Trading Short Term and Long Term Silver Price Period of Moving Average

A trader can choose to adjust the price periods used to calculate the moving average.

If a trader uses short price periods then the Moving Average will react faster to the changes in price.

For example if a trader uses the 7 day silver trading moving average then, the moving average indicator will react to the price change much faster than a 14 day or 21 day silver trading Moving Average would. However, using short time price periods to calculate the Moving Average might result in the indicator giving false signals (whipsaws).

If another trader uses longer chart time periods then Moving Average will react to price changes much slower.

For example, if a trader uses the 14 day Moving Average indicator then average will be less prone to whip saws but it'll react much slower.
