About
Simple Moving Average is the equal-weight baseline. Smooths price by averaging the last N bars of the chosen source — the reference line every other MA is compared against.
- Raise N for a smoother, laggier line; lower it for faster response.
- Pair with a faster MA (e.g. EMA 9) to catch crossovers as trend signals.
- Works on any market; defaults to close and length 20.
