Trade effectively with Simple Moving Average Strategy on Expert Option

SMA or Simple Moving Average is one of the basic trading indicators that can help you to identify the upcoming bullish or bearish trend.  In my last article, I have already explained the basics of Simple moving average and how you can use them solely. If you haven’t read the article yet click here.

  If you are in the field of trading for a while, you must have understood the importance of the moving averages as in almost all the indicators you will find the presence of the moving average. Using a solo SMA for the identification of trends is never a good idea, therefore. In this article, I will combine two SMA of periods 15 and 31

Key takeaways

  • Simple moving averages calculate the average price of the security usually the average closing price.
  • The indicator oscillates around the price and their intersection generates buy and sell opportunities.
  • In order to calculate the simple moving average, add up the closing prices of a security over a specified number of periods and then divide it the number of periods.
  • The SMA indicator moves out price fluctuations that allow traders and investors to find long-term trading signals.
  • Simple Moving Average is also known as a lagging indicator because it is based on historical prices.
