For example, a 50-day moving average and a 200-day moving average generate unique buy and sell signals that may work in one time frame but not the other. Simple Moving Average (SMA)
This indicator uses two (or more) moving averages, a slower moving average and a faster moving average. The faster moving average is a short term moving average. For end-of-day stock markets, for example, it may be 5-, 10- or 25-day period while the slower moving average is medium or long term moving average (e.g. 50-, 100- or 200-day period).
For example, the 50-day moving average represents the stock’s average price over the past 50 days of trading. In the case of the 200-day moving average, it shows the stock’s average closing ...
Market timing often looks at moving averages such as 50- and 200-day moving averages (which are particularly popular). [6] Some people believe that if the market has gone above the 50- or 200-day average that should be considered bullish, or below conversely bearish. [7]
Exponential moving averages highlight recent changes in a stock's price. By comparing EMAs of different lengths, the MACD series gauges changes in the trend of a stock.

Variations include: simple, cumulative, or weighted forms. Mathematically, a moving average is a type of convolution.
The relationship between different moving average trading rules is explained in the paper "Anatomy of Market Timing with Moving Averages". [4] Specifically, in this paper the author demonstrates that every trading rule can be presented as a weighted average of the momentum rules computed using different averaging periods.
