This indicator uses two (or more) moving averages, a slower moving average and a faster moving average. The faster moving average is a short term moving average. For end-of-day stock markets, for example, it may be 5-, 10- or 25-day period while the slower moving average is medium or long term moving average (e.g. 50-, 100- or 200-day period).
The MACD indicator [ 2] (or "oscillator") is a collection of three time series calculated from historical price data, most often the closing price. These three series are: the MACD series proper, the "signal" or "average" series, and the "divergence" series which is the difference between the two. The MACD series is the difference between a ...
In statistics, a moving average ( rolling average or running average or moving mean[ 1] or rolling mean) is a calculation to analyze data points by creating a series of averages of different selections of the full data set. Variations include: simple, cumulative, or weighted forms. Mathematically, a moving average is a type of convolution.
Keltner channel. Keltner channel is a technical analysis indicator showing a central moving average line plus channel lines at a distance above and below. The indicator is named after Chester W.

Moving average strategies are simple to understand, and often claim to give good returns, but the results may be confused by hindsight and data mining. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] A major stumbling block for many market timers is a phenomenon called " curve fitting ", which states that a given set of trading rules tends to be over-optimized to fit the ...
Average true range ( ATR) is a technical analysis volatility indicator originally developed by J. Welles Wilder, Jr. for commodities.

It shows the slope (i.e. derivative) of a triple-smoothed exponential moving average. [1] [2] The name Trix is from " tri ple e x ponential." TRIX is a triple smoothed exponential moving ...
Moving-average model. In time series analysis, the moving-average model ( MA model ), also known as moving-average process, is a common approach for modeling univariate time series. [ 1][ 2] The moving-average model specifies that the output variable is cross-correlated with a non-identical to itself random-variable.
