oscillator.
As one can see from Figure , a moving average has a smoother line than the underlying currency. The daily closing price is commonly included in the moving averages. The average may also be based on the midrange level or on a daily average of the high, low, and closing prices.
Figure MA1. Examples of three simple moving averages—5-day (white), 20-day (red) and 60-day (green).
It is important to observe that the moving average is a follower rather than a leader. Its signals occur after the new movement has started, not before.
There are three types of moving averages:
1. The simple moving average or arithmetic mean.
2. The linearly weighted moving average.
3. The exponentially smoothed moving average.
As described, the simple moving average or arithmetic mean is the average of a predetermined number of prices over a number of days, divided by the number of entries.
Traders have the option of using a linearly weighted moving average (See Figure MA2). This type of average assigns more weight to the more recent closings. This is achieved by multiplying the last day's price by one, and each closer day by an increasing consecutive number. In our previous example, the fourth day's price is multiplied by 1, the third by 2, the second by 3, and the last one by 4; then the fourth day's price is deducted. The new sum is divided by 9, which is the sum of its multipliers.

weighted moving average (white)
The most sophisticated moving average available is the exponentially smoothed moving average. (See Figure 5.37.) In addition to assigning different weights to the previous prices, the exponentially smoothed moving average also takes into account the previous price information of the underlying currency.

I just wish to say one thing. Deleting whole thing isn't good idea even you feel doing it. I say that from position that blogs like yours documenting now 5 years journey are inspiration to starting forex traders. I remember that few years ago when I wasn't forex trading at all but was on demo that I found your blog. It was so interesting that I read through all posts about forex trading. You don't get anything with deleting about forex trading and some others may lose. Let it be win win situation even if you don't post anymore about forex trading
Analysis is very important in forex trading, although it is almost never easy to do and usually takes a lot of time. Trading Analysis makes decision making a lot easier and the outcome is usually satisfactory. When start forex trading, analysis is very important because you can’t rely only on the money management strategy to succeed. You can forecast the direction of the market basing on your technical and fundamental strategies to see their effectiveness.
I admire what you've got accomplished here.
