What is a Moving Average Indicator?

The moving average indicator calculates the average price of a stock over a defined period. The moving average indicator smooths out the data represented on the price chart. The red and light green line on the 'two moving average' charts are two independent moving averages. You can use 'two moving average' charts to display for example the price and corresponding 50 day and 100 day moving averages.

What are "Two Moving Average' Alert Triggers used for?

To select the chart with two moving averages, selected 'Two moving averages' option from the Chart selection drop down box on the timetotrade Charts page. The following chart will be displayed with a default 10 and 20 day moving average, whereby the 'Red Line' is the determined by the value in 'ma1' and the 'Green Line' is determined by the value in 'ma2'. The following chart displays the Price movement for Walgreen based on a one year view and a daily interval period, with the 20 day and 50 day moving average over-laid.

To change the ma1 and ma2 moving average values, enter the new values in the appropriate text box and press the 'enter' button on your keyboard, or alternatively click on the 'update' button on the bottom left of the page.

A basic trading strategy is to take a long position when the 'fast' moving average i.e. the moving average with the shortest time period, such as the 20 day moving average, rises above the 'slow' moving average such as the 50 day moving average, and then sell when the 'fast' moving average drops below the 'slow' moving average.
