In this lesson
Calculate a simple moving average by hand, read it on a chart, and understand crossovers.
Key takeaways
- A simple moving average (SMA) is the average of the last N closing prices.
- Price above a rising average suggests an uptrend; below a falling one, a downtrend.
- A fast average crossing above a slow one (golden cross) signals momentum turning up.
- Averages lag and give false signals in sideways markets.
