A moving average is a line on a chart with a value that equals the average of the past X trading periods. For example, on a 5 minute chart, a MA20 is a line that averages the past 20 5-minute periods (candles or lines). A MA50 averages the past 50 candles, and an MA100 averages the last hundred candles. The higher the number, the "slower" the indicator is considered. They are used by some as points of support or resistance, but I mostly use them as basic trade-direction guidance.
