What is a moving average and how is it used in trading?

 

A moving average is a trend line that shows the average price of a stock over a certain period. It is a data point that helps traders understand the direction and strength of a trend.

 

The moving average strategy involves buying or selling based on the average price. In moving average trading, traders use two types of moving averages: short-term and long-term. To use moving averages, traders compare the short-term average with the long-term average.
