Definition of Moving average

Calculating a moving average is a way of removing the extremities of a series of figures. For example a company having volatile monthly sales figures can decide to use a moving average of 3 months. They will add up the totals for 3 months and divide by three to work out the moving average, which being more regular than the raw figures will tend to be a better indicator of long-term trends.
