What are the differences between Moving Averages?
MVA – “Simple Moving Average”
- This moving average gives you the average price for the last N periods. This can show the distance that current price action is away from the average price over those last N periods.
EMA – “Exponential Moving Average”
- This moving average gives you the weighted price calculation for the last N periods. It weights the most recent prices more heavily than later changes in price.
SMMA – “Smoothed Moving Average”
- This moving average gives the recent prices an equal weighting to the historic ones.
