Moving Average - MA

    0.01 sec.
Moving Average - MA
Frequently used in technical analysis, a moving average is an indicator showing the average value of a security's price over a period of time. When calculating, you need to specify the time span.

Notes:
Moving averages are used to emphasize the direction of a trend and smooth out price and volume fluctuations, or "noise", that can confuse interpretation. Typically, when a stock price moves below its 50-100 day moving average, it's a bad thing. The opposite is true for stocks that go beyond their moving average.
