Trading Short-Term & Long-Term XAUUSD Price Period of Moving Average

A trader can choose to adjust the gold price periods used to calculate the moving average.

If a trader uses short gold price periods then the Moving Average will react faster to the changes in gold price.

For example if a trader uses the 7 day xauusd moving average then, the moving average indicator will react to the gold price change much faster than a 14 day or 21 day xauusd Moving Average would. However, using short time gold price periods to calculate the Moving Average might result in the indicator giving false xauusd signals (whipsaws).

If another trader uses longer trading chart time periods then Moving Average will react to gold price changes much slower.

For example, if a trader uses the 14 day Moving Average indicator then the average will be less prone to whipsaws but it will react much slower.
