Complete list of all Moving Averages!

Join useThinkScript to post your question to a community of 21,000+ developers and traders.

When reviewing all these 'Moving Average' indicators, one is heads above the rest. There is a potential for it to provide a slight advantage in leading data and prediction of pps movement, which has the others being seen as following, even with the most recent and up to the second data. I'd give it to you, but then they'd try to find me and put me in SEC jail. If you guess the right one, I will acknowledge your effort and provide an extensive and rational method for you to use when trading.
...the suspense!

Would really love to hear back from you, @Adeodatus!
