Simple Moving Average (SMA)
The arithmetic mean of closing prices over N periods. The foundational trend indicator.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
A moving average that gives exponentially more weight to recent prices. Reacts faster than SMA.
Weighted Moving Average (WMA)
A moving average with linear weighting — recent bars matter more, in a predictable arithmetic way.
Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA)
A moving average that applies EMA smoothing twice to reduce lag while maintaining smoothness.
