http://www.etftrends.com/forum/ Keeping a grip on exchange-traded funds (ETFs) en Mon, 13 Feb 2012 07:28:25 +0000 http://www.etftrends.com/forum/topic/200-day-sma#post-98 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 14:03:34 +0000 roughbert 98@http://www.etftrends.com/forum/ <p>Donato, what I meant was that I could not get a 200-day MA out of Google's historical closing prices which was even in the same range as those noted above for SPY, which is why I asked the question above about how the MA was calculated. No doubt I'm doing something wrong, but there has not been time to look closer. My apologies for being obscure! </p> <p>Yes, the 'pedias line up nicely on the MA, thanks. </p> http://www.etftrends.com/forum/topic/200-day-sma#post-92 Sun, 14 Jun 2009 17:45:45 +0000 Donato 92@http://www.etftrends.com/forum/ <p>Hi Rough . . .<br /> I'm sure glad Wikipedia agrees with you.</p> <p>Does <a href="http://www.investopedia.com" rel="nofollow">www.investopedia.com</a> agree with you also?</p> <p>Be sure to let us know what you are talking about some day . . . </p> http://www.etftrends.com/forum/topic/200-day-sma#post-91 Sun, 14 Jun 2009 15:09:24 +0000 roughbert 91@http://www.etftrends.com/forum/ <p>OK. Wikipedia seems to agree with me. But I just dug out Google's history for SPY and cannot get a similar figure. </p> http://www.etftrends.com/forum/topic/200-day-sma#post-90 Sun, 14 Jun 2009 14:40:36 +0000 Donato 90@http://www.etftrends.com/forum/ <p>Hi Rough . . .<br /> In the sciences, "mean" is the same thing as "average". But I have never heard a trader use the word in that manner. </p> http://www.etftrends.com/forum/topic/200-day-sma#post-88 Sun, 14 Jun 2009 13:16:46 +0000 roughbert 88@http://www.etftrends.com/forum/ <p>is the 200-day SMA the same as the mean closing price over the last 200 trading days? </p> http://www.etftrends.com/forum/topic/200-day-sma#post-85 Sun, 14 Jun 2009 12:06:04 +0000 Donato 85@http://www.etftrends.com/forum/ <p>I use a "professional" trading platform and the 200 day sma for SPY is 91.34. That being said, the more I study charts (on my platform), the more errors I find. Though I have found Yahoo Finance to be exceptional in it's accuracy. </p> http://www.etftrends.com/forum/topic/200-day-sma#post-84 Sun, 14 Jun 2009 10:20:20 +0000 jwitty1 84@http://www.etftrends.com/forum/ <p>freestockcharts.com....SPY 200day sma is 95.77<br /> stockcharts.com........SPY 200day sma is 90.50<br /> Yahoo Finance..........SPY 200day sma is 91.34</p> <p>Which is right???</p> <p>The 200day sma for any security is hard to find without analyzing charts and graphs...I wish there was a reliable site where you can just punch in a symbol and get the moving averages </p> http://www.etftrends.com/forum/topic/200-day-sma#post-80 Sun, 14 Jun 2009 01:35:45 +0000 roughbert 80@http://www.etftrends.com/forum/ <p>Which three sites was that?</p> <p>I have noticed variations between broker's closing prices, most brokers seem to be so busy these days that the volume is affecting their system's reliability and accuracy. </p> http://www.etftrends.com/forum/topic/200-day-sma#post-79 Sat, 13 Jun 2009 16:24:32 +0000 jwitty1 79@http://www.etftrends.com/forum/ <p>Does anyone know of a web site where you can just enter a ticker symbol and get the current accurate 200 day sma or for that matter 50 day ...etc?? I have gone to three sites and gotten different values for the 200 day sma for symbol SPY..Just plain and simple numbers no charts, graphs..etc </p>
