Trading indicators<\/a> have long become reliable helpers to traders. This article presents seven popular indicators that help define the trend direction and find good entry signals<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>1. The Moving Average<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Moving Average<\/a><\/strong> shows the changes in the average asset price during a certain period. This is one of the simplest and clearest trend indicators, frequently used as a part of more complicated indicators. There are various methods of calculating Moving Averages: Simple, Exponential, Smoothed, Weighted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Moving Average is drawn automatically on the chart as a colored line (the color and width are customizable). Moderate growth of the Moving Average indicates an uptrend, while a decline points at a downtrend. If an MA with a large period (such as 200) crosses the price chart from below, this means a downtrend is changing for an uptrend; if the crossing happens top-down, this means an uptrend is reversing, becoming a downtrend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
