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