Shared calculation conventionsWhat does a worked example look like?
Closes of $90,000, $100,000 and $110,000 have a three-period SMA of $100,000. On hourly candles, a 200-period average spans 200 hours, not 200 days.
What does this mean for you?
Equal weighting makes the oldest departing candle as influential as the newest arriving one. Crossings can occur after much of a move has already happened.
How does it compare?
The simple average weights its window evenly. An exponential average favors recent closes and carries a diminishing contribution from earlier history.
