Moving Average Types

• Moving Average
  The Moving Average smooths price data to create a powerful measure of trend direction. Simple, weighted and exponential moving averages are most popular.
• Simple Moving Average
  The simple moving average is easy to construct, but not always the most accurate. Includes formula.
• Exponential Moving Average
  Exponential moving averages are more sophisticated than simple moving averages and do not suffer from the same distortions.
• Weighted Moving Average
  Weighted moving averages eliminate the distortion common to simple moving averages, but are more difficult to construct than exponential moving averages.
• Wilder Moving Average
  Wilder moving averages are used mainly in indicators developed by J. Welles Wilder. Essentially the same as an exponential moving average, they use different weightings, for which users need to make allowance.
• Hull Moving Average
  Alan Hull developed the Hull Moving Average Indicator to be "responsive to current price activity while maintaining curve smoothness"
• Displaced Moving Average
  Displaced Moving Averages are useful for trend-following purposes, reducing the number of whipsaws compared to an equivalent Exponential or Simple Moving Average.
• Moving Average Filters
  Filters are employed to reduce the number of whipsaws when using moving average systems.
• Moving Average High/Low/Open
  Calculates moving averages using daily, weekly or monthly Highs/Lows/Opens.
