Calculation of the Moving Average

The CFD Trading Moving Average is also known as Moving Average - is calculated as an average of price using the most recent price data.

If the Moving Average uses the 10 period to calculate the average of the price then it is known as to as a 10 period cfd moving average, because most traders use the day as the standard cfds price period we shall just refer to it as the 10 day MA.

To calculate the ten day Moving Average the price of the last 10 days is averaged, the cfd moving average indicator is then updated constantly after every new cfds price period. So after every new cfds price period is formed the moving average is then calculated afresh using the most recent 10 cfds price periods, that is why it is called a moving average because the average is constantly moving when price data is updated.
