📊 Capital Market Chronicles – Episode 317: TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – MOVING AVERAGES (Part II)
Welcome to the Moving Average family — where everyone does the same job… but with very different personalities 😄
👴 1. Simple Moving Average (SMA)
The SMA is the old-school grandparent of the family.
It simply takes the average price over a period.
👉 Calm
👉 Steady
👉 Slightly slow 🐢
Formula (don’t panic 😄):
Average of prices over time
Best for:
- Long-term trends
- Investors who hate drama
⚡ 2. Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
Meet the fast and furious cousin ⚡
EMA gives more importance to recent prices, so it reacts quickly.
👉 Faster signals
👉 More responsive
👉 Slightly more dramatic 😄
Best for:
- Short-term trading
- Volatile markets
⚖️ 3. Weighted Moving Average (WMA)
The balanced middle child 😄
It gives different weights to prices — more to recent ones, but in a structured way.
👉 Balanced
👉 Logical
👉 Often underrated
😄 Trader Reality Check
- Beginners: “Which MA is best?”
- Market: “Depends 😄”
There’s no perfect moving average — only the one that suits:
- Your strategy
- Your timeframe
- Your patience level 😅
💡 Final Thought
Choosing a moving average is like choosing food:
- SMA = Home-cooked meal 🍲
- EMA = Fast food 🍔
- WMA = Balanced diet 🥗
Pick what works for you… just don’t overeat indicators 😂📊
