Simple Moving average is a statistical concept. It is used in calculation of, average of closing price for a time period. SMA is calculated by, adding the closing price of time period and then divide it by number of time period.

Formula of Simple Moving Average
where,
- n = Number of Data
- d = Moving Average
- Days M = Data
Example of Simple Moving Average
Calculate the Simple moving average, when time period is 3 and the closing prices are 25, 85, 65, 45, 95, 75, 15, 35
Given
Closing Prices = 25, 85, 65, 45, 95, 75, 15, 35
Time Period = 3 days
Solution of Simple Moving Average
Calculation of SMA from 3rd day to 8th day, in time period of 3 days.
Average
A3 = (25 + 85 + 65) / 3
A4 = (85 + 65 + 45) / 3
A5 = (65 + 45 + 95) / 3
A6 = (45 + 95 + 75) / 3
A7 = (95 + 75 + 15) / 3
A8 = (75 + 15 + 35) / 3
Result
Average
A3 = 58.3333
A4 = 65
A5 = 68.3333
A6 = 71.6667
A7 = 61.6667
A8 = 41.6667

Thank you for the online calculators. Problems:
Using the moving averages calculator I failed to see how to change the period from days to months. My need was to calculate moving average over 11 months and not days.
I could find no way of registering an account even though there is a log in page. How to register/sign up????
Thank you

How to put in the days? Doesn’t make sense
