How to Add Moving Averages on GoCharting - Tutorial

Learn how to add moving averages to your GoCharting charts, customize their appearance, and use them to better understand market trends. Whether you’re following shorter price swings or the bigger picture, moving averages help smooth out price fluctuations and highlight how a trend is developing. Choose a Simple Moving Average (SMA) for an equally weighted average, or an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to give more weight to recent prices. Getting started is easy: open your chart, click Indicators in the top toolbar, and search for “Simple Moving Average” or “Exponential Moving Average.” Add your indicator, then open its settings to adjust the period, color, and line style. Try different lengths, such as 20, 50, and 200, to compare shorter and longer trends. A few tips and tricks to make your charts easier to use: • Make each average easy to recognize. Use different colors or line styles to distinguish your shorter and longer averages. • Clone to save time. Open the indicator’s legend menu and select Clone, then change the new average’s period. • Keep your favorites handy. Click the heart beside an indicator in the Indicators menu to add it to your favorites. • Save your combination. Create an indicator template to reuse your moving averages and their settings across other charts. • Watch the slope and price together. Study whether an average is rising or falling and how price behaves around it. Crossovers can help identify changes, but sideways markets often produce false signals.
