How it Calculates the Results
The calculator first ensures that all inputs are numerical values. Then it calculates the moving average using the following steps:
- Computes a preliminary average of the input prices: (Open + Close + High + Low) / 4.
- Averages this preliminary average over the number of specified periods to get the moving average.
Limitations
This calculator has some limitations:
- It presumes a simple moving average using the given period.
- It requires valid numerical inputs for all fields to function correctly.
- The accuracy of the MA depends on the accuracy of the input data.
