Calculation of the Moving Average
The Stock Trading Moving Average is also known as Moving Average - is calculated as an average of stocks price using the most recent stocks price data.
If the Moving Average uses the 10 period to calculate the average of the stocks price then it is referred to as a 10 period stock trading moving average, because most traders use the day as the standard stocks price period we shall just refer to it as the 10 day Moving Average.
To calculate the ten day Moving Average the stocks price of the last 10 days is averaged, the stock trading moving average indicator is then updated constantly after every new stocks price period. So after every new stocks price period is formed the moving average is then calculated afresh using the most recent 10 stocks price periods, that is why it is called a moving average because the average is constantly moving when stocks price data is updated.
