Calculating Simple Moving Average (SMA):
SMA=Sum of closing prices over n periods
\(\textbf{Simple Moving Average (SMA) Formula:}\)
\[ \displaystyle \text{SMA} = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n} \text{Closing Price}_i}{n} \]
\(\textbf{Legend:}\)
\(\text{SMA}\) = Simple Moving Average
\(\sum_{i=1}^{n} \text{Closing Price}_i\) = Sum of closing prices over \(n\) periods
\(n\) = Number of periods
Example Calculation (5-day SMA):
\(\textbf{Simple Moving Average (SMA) Calculation:}\)
\[ \displaystyle \text{SMA (Day 5)} = \frac{100 + 102 + 104 + 106 + 108}{5} = \frac{520}{5} = 104 \]
\(\textbf{Legend:}\)
\(\text{SMA (Day 5)}\) = Simple Moving Average over 5 days
\(100, 102, 104, 106, 108\) = Closing prices for the 5 days
\(5\) = Number of periods (days)
Ερμηνεία:
- Buy Signal: When the shorter-term SMA crosses above the longer-term SMA (Golden Cross).
- Sell Signal: When the shorter-term SMA crosses below the longer-term SMA (Death Cross).
Calculating Exponential Moving Average (EMA):
Formula:
\(\textbf{Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Formula:}\)
\[ \text{EMA} = \text{Closing price} \times \alpha + \text{Previous EMA} \times (1 – \alpha) \]
\[ \alpha = \frac{2}{n + 1} \]
\(\textbf{Legend:}\)
\(\text{EMA}\) = Exponential Moving Average
\(\text{Closing price}\) = Most recent closing price
\(\alpha\) = Smoothing factor
\(\frac{2}{n + 1}\) = Calculation for the smoothing factor
\(n\) = Number of periods
\(\text{Previous EMA}\) = EMA calculated from the previous period
Example Calculation (5-day EMA for Day 6):
Calculate SMA for initial EMA:
\(\textbf{Simple Moving Average (SMA) Calculation:}\)
\[ \text{SMA (Day 5)} = \frac{100 + 102 + 104 + 106 + 108}{5} = 104 \]
\(\textbf{Legend:}\)
\(\text{SMA (Day 5)}\) = Simple Moving Average over 5 days
\(100, 102, 104, 106, 108\) = Closing prices for the 5 days
\(5\) = Number of periods (days)
\(\textbf{Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Calculation:}\)
\[ \alpha = \frac{2}{5 + 1} = 0.3333 \]
\[ \text{EMA (Day 6)} = 110 \times 0.3333 + 104 \times (1 – 0.3333) = 105.33 \]
\(\textbf{Legend:}\)
\(\alpha\) = Smoothing factor
\(\frac{2}{5 + 1}\) = Calculation for the smoothing factor with 5 periods
\(\text{EMA (Day 6)}\) = Exponential Moving Average on Day 6
\(110\) = Closing price on Day 6
\(104\) = Previous EMA (Day 5)
Ερμηνεία:
- Buy Signal: When the price crosses above the EMA.
- Sell Signal: When the price crosses below the EMA.
Συμβουλές και βέλτιστες πρακτικές:
- Combine SMAs and EMAs: Use a combination of both to get a clearer picture of trends.
- Adjust Periods: Adjust the period lengths (e.g., 50-day, 200-day) based on trading strategy.

Applying Relative Strength Index (RSI):
Formula:
\(\textbf{Relative Strength Index (RSI) Formula:}\)
\[ \text{RSI} = 100 – \frac{100}{1 + \frac{\text{Average Gain}}{\text{Average Loss}}} \]
\(\textbf{Legend:}\)
\(\text{RSI}\) = Relative Strength Index
\(\text{Average Gain}\) = Average gain over a specified period
\(\text{Average Loss}\) = Average loss over a specified period
Example Calculation (14-day period):
- Calculate Average Gain and Loss:
- Average Gain: Sum of gains over 14 days / 14
- Average Loss: Sum of losses over 14 days / 14
Calculate RSI:
\(\textbf{Relative Strength Index (RSI) Formula:}\)
\[ \text{RSI} = 100 – \frac{100}{1 + \frac{\text{Average Gain}}{\text{Average Loss}}} \]
\(\textbf{Legend:}\)
\(\text{RSI}\) = Relative Strength Index
\(\text{Average Gain}\) = Average gain over a specified period
\(\text{Average Loss}\) = Average loss over a specified period
Example Calculation (14-day period):
Step 1: Calculate Average Gain and Loss:
- Sum of Gains over 14 days: (2 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2) = 15
- Sum of Losses over 14 days: (1 + 1 + 2) = 4
- Average Gain: 15 / 14 ≈ 1.07
- Average Loss: 4 / 14 ≈ 0.29
Step 2: Calculate RSI:
\(\textbf{Relative Strength Index (RSI) Calculation:}\)
\[ \text{RSI} = 100 – \frac{100}{1 + \frac{1.07}{0.29}} \approx 78.67 \]
\(\textbf{Legend:}\)
\(\text{RSI}\) = Relative Strength Index
\(1.07\) = Average Gain
\(0.29\) = Average Loss
Ερμηνεία:
- Overbought Condition: RSI above 70, potential sell signal.
- Oversold Condition: RSI below 30, potential buy signal.
Example Analysis:
- RSI at 78.67: Indicates overbought condition, consider selling or shorting.
.
Applying Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD):
Formula:
- MACD Line: 12-day EMA – 26-day EMA
- Signal Line: 9-day EMA of the MACD Line
- Histogram: MACD Line – Signal Line
Example Calculation:
Step 1: Calculate MACD Line:
- Assume the 12-day EMA and 26-day EMA for the stock prices are as follows:
- 12-day EMA: 159.5
- 26-day EMA: 157.8
- MACD Line: 12 day EMA – 26 day EMA
159.5 – 157.8 = 1.7
Step 2: Calculate Signal Line:
- Assume the 9-day EMA of the MACD Line is 1.5:
- Signal Line: 1.5
Step 3: Calculate Histogram:
- Histogram: 1.7 – 1.5 = 0.2
Ερμηνεία:
- Buy Signal: MACD Line crosses above the Signal Line (bullish crossover).
- Sell Signal: MACD Line crosses below the Signal Line (bearish crossover).
Example Analysis:
- Bullish Crossover: MACD Line at -1, Signal Line at -2, Histogram at 1. Indicates potential buying opportunity.
- Bearish Crossover: MACD Line at 2, Signal Line at 3, Histogram at -1. Indicates potential selling opportunity.
