What is Simple Moving Average?
In trading, a Simple Moving Average (SMA) is a widely used technical analysis tool that helps traders identify trends and potential entry or exit points in the market. It calculates the average price of an asset over a specified period, smoothing out short-term price fluctuations and providing a clear picture of the asset’s direction.
Working of Simple Moving Average:
Determine the closing price: Gather the closing price data for the asset you want to analyze. This can be done over a specific time frame, such as daily or weekly.
Choose a time period: Select the number of periods to include in the SMA calculation. For example, a 50-day SMA would use the closing prices for the past 50 days.
Calculate the average: Add up the closing prices for the specified time period and divide by the number of periods to get the average.
Plot the SMA: Plot the resulting values as a line on a price chart.
