Calculation of the Moving Average

The Indices Moving Average is also known as MA - is calculated as an average of stock indices price using the most recent stock indices price data.

If the MA uses the 10 period to calculate the average of the stock indices price then it is referred to as a 10 period indices trading moving average, because most indices traders use the day as the standard stock indices price period we shall just refer to it as the 10 day MA.

To calculate the ten day MA the stock indices price of the last 10 days is averaged, the indices trading moving average indicator is then updated constantly after every new stock indices price period. So after every new stock indices price period is formed the moving average is then calculated afresh using the most recent 10 stock indices price periods, that is why it is called a moving average because the average is constantly moving when stock indices price data is updated.
