Calculation of the Moving Average
The Commodity Trading Moving Average is also known as MA - is calculated as an average of commodities price using the most recent commodities price data.
If the MA uses the 10 period to calculate the average of the commodities price then it is referred to as a 10 period commodity moving average, because most commodity traders use the day as the standard commodities price period we shall just refer to it as the 10 day Moving Average.
To calculate the ten day MA the commodities price of the last 10 days is averaged, the commodity moving average indicator is then updated constantly after every new commodities price period. So after every new commodities price period is formed the moving average is then calculated afresh using the most recent 10 commodities price periods, that is why it is called a moving average because the average is constantly moving when commodities price data is updated.
