Moving Average Indices Technical Analysis and Moving Average Indices Trading Signals
An indicator that calculates the average value of indices prices (or any specified data series) over a predetermined period of time.
The only significant difference between the various types of MAs is the weight assigned to the most recent data. Simple moving averages apply equal weight to the indices prices. Exponential and weighted averages apply more weight to recent indices prices.
Interpretation
The most popular method of interpreting the Moving Average is to compare the relationship between the Moving Average of the stock indices price with the stock indices price itself. A buy stock indices signal is generated when the stock indices price rises above its Moving Average and a sell stock indices signal is generated when the stock indices price falls below its MA.

The combinations of conditions for these types of systems are almost limitless.
