Calculation of the Moving Average

The Oil Trading Moving Average is also known as MA - is calculated as an average of crude crude oil trading price using the most recent crude oil trading price data.

If the MA uses the 10 period to calculate the average of the crude crude oil trading price then it is referred to as a 10 period oil moving average, because most oil traders use the day as the standard crude crude oil trading price period we shall just refer to it as the 10 day MA.

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