Python: Simple Moving Average (SMA) Mathematics and Stock Indicators

From the creator

This video teaches you how to calculate a simple moving average within Python. The point of a simple moving average is to smooth the line of data points. This is used with stocks, forex, futures, and general engineering. The purpose of this series is to teach mathematics within python. To do this, we will be working with a bunch of the more popular stock indicators used with technical analysis. With most of the indicators, we will first discuss them, their purpose, then teach how to program them into python, then actually display them on a chart. The basic charting application comes from a previous tutorial series, here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQVvvaa0QuDcR-u9O8LyLR7URiKuW-XZq Required files: Sample Code for the actual charting parts: http://sentdex.com/startingPoint.py Python: http://python.org Numpy: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy Matplotlib: http://matplotlib.org/downloads.html Sentdex.com Facebook.com/sentdex Twitter.com/sentdex
