One of a family of techniques used to analyze time series data, in which a weighted average is determined for a given data point based on its value and the past values
average that is recalculated after every numerical change; method for calculating the value of inventory
The average of a company's stock prices over in a period as short as a few days or as long as several years and showing trends for the given interval As each new stock price is included in calculating the average, the earliest price of the series is deleted
An average of a security's price over a particular time period Example: The average changes on a 200-day moving average includes the most current 200 trading days Moving averages usually indicate levels of support or resistance for a security
A technical analysis term The average prices of a security for a particular period are charted in an attempt to determine recent trends
The average of the last 'x' number of numerical values out of a set that contains a larger number of historical values A six-month simple moving average forecast is the average of the demand from the previous six periods; with each new period the last period is added and the oldest period deleted before recalculating the new average
(Ticaret) The average of the last 'x' number of numerical values out of a set that contains a larger number of historical values. A six-month simple moving average forecast is the average of the demand from the previous six periods; with each new period the last period is added and the oldest period deleted before recalculating the new average
Moving average is the average price of a security over the previous days or years A 50-day moving average is the average price of a security over the past 50 days This gives an indication of a security's price trend The longer the average (200-days vs 50 days) the more long-term the trend being approximated Moving averages work best in trending markets since it is a useful indicator to confirm changes in trend However, moving averages give as many false signals as correct ones, in particular when using a short-term moving average Technical analysts use the 200-day moving average to determine with more accuracy the direction of a stock or the market Comparing the 200-day average with the 50-day can also be useful to gain insight into the direction of a stock When the short-term average moves above the long-term average, it's considered a buy signal When the short-term moving average moves below the long-term average, it's considered a selling signal
Moving averages are one way to view historical price levels Moving average take into account some number of price periods (a new period is added and the oldest is dropped from the calculation) to show average price over time It is possible to weight more recent prices and by linearly or exponentially smoothing the average lines The longer the averaging period, the more lag you will see between the average and the most recent prices
Average price of a stock over a period of time and adjusted each day for the same period of time
The average price of a stock / market over any given (rolling) period of time Used primarily as an indication of trend, less useful in rangebound markets
A perpetual inventory cost flow alternative whereby the cost of goods sold and the cost of ending inventory are determined by using a weighted-average cost of all merchandise on hand after each purchase
Used in charts and technical analysis, an average of the prices of the security or commodity is calculated over set amount of time and showing trends for the latest interval When a new variable is calculated and added to the series, the oldest variable is deleted
A technical charting tool that smooths out the jagged price chart of a security to show the longer term trend Moving averages are calculated by averaging the price over a period of time usually 30-200 days, but shorter and longer moving averages are also used
A price average that is adjusted by adding other parametrically determined prices over some time period
The average of security or commodity prices in a given time period ranging from days to years with the objective to determine trends for the latest time intervals As new variables are included in the calculation of the moving average, the last variable of the series is deleted
a sequence of averages, derived from a set of time-series data, for a period of time, such as a season, week, month or day; each average covers n such periods and is computed by deleting the first period from the previous MA, and adding in the most recent period
a technical analysis tool equal to the average of the last traded price over some time period
A moving average is an average of a security's price over a specific time period The average changes, for example, on a 30-day moving average, so that it includes the most current 30 trading days Moving averages often indicate levels of support or resistance for a security
