Moving Averages
Video Transcript
In this video, we want to cover how to access one of tradings most common indicators. The simple moving average lines.
To access Overlay Indicators, such as the moving averages, right click on the chart, which pulls up the right click menu. Slide down to Chart Overlays, slide down to Moving Averages, and then click on that line item.
This opens up, or accesses the default moving average lines, as displayed here.
To access the settings for the moving averages, click the small tile labeled MA in the lower right hand corner of the chart. This opens the Preferences Tab and display the settings.
Alternatively, we can right click on the chart, slide down to Overlay Preferences, and because they're already active, we will have an Overlay Preferences selection called Moving Averages. If we click that, it will also bring us over to the Preferences Tab and display the preferences for the Moving Averages.
