In This Section

  • Simple Moving Average Formula (Chart Controls)
    Takes the average of data over a period of time, and migrates the period across the data series one data point at a time. This formula smoothes a data series and makes analyzing volatile data easier.
  • Triangular Moving Average Formula (Chart Controls)
    Takes a simple moving average of data and applies a simple moving average on the first moving average. It is a lagging indicator, and is always behind the price. The triangular moving average gives the most weight to the middle portion of the data.
  • Weighted Moving Average Formula (Chart Controls)
    A moving average of data that gives more weight to the more recent data in the period and less weight to the older data in the period. This formula smoothes a data series. This makes analyzing volatile data easier.
