Moving Average
A Moving Average, on German moving average, is a method of smoothing price movements in a certain period of time. The Moving Average calculates an average of the last closing prices of a certain number of trading sections.
Like any other indicator, we also use the moving average to help anticipate future price movements. If you look at the slope of the mean, then they can take a picture of it, where the price will continue to move.

This time span can range from a few seconds to several months. A too small time window is often not manageable for the beginner, but especially beginners often do not have the necessary patience to trade in a larger time frame.
