SMA

Simple moving average — average of the last closes on the price scale.

The SMA (simple moving average) is the arithmetic mean of the last closes over a chosen length. It sits on the price scale as one line.

Default length is 20. Colour is automatic unless you pick one in settings.

A rising SMA means recent closes are higher than earlier ones in the window; a falling SMA means the opposite. Price crossing the line is a common read, not a signal by itself.

Settings: gear on the overlay legend — see Indicators.
