Exponential moving average is a running average of a set of observations, where the weight of each observation is inversely exponentially weighted as a function of how old it is. It is a relatively simple thing to do.
Given a set of observations O1, O2, O3, ... ON the running exponential moving average A1, A2, A3, ... AN can be calculated in real time, at each time N, with the expression ...
AN = AN-1 (1 - X) + ON X
... where X is a weighting factor that determines that amount of smoothing. For instance, if X were zero, then the smoothing is infinite, and O does not contribute at all to A, and if X were one, then smoothing is zero, and A follows O with no smoothing at all. In a more useful example, if X were 0.2, then the smoothing would be five, and A would follow O with a time constant of five iterations, i.e. after five iterations we would be at about 63% of one step change and after 25 iterations we would be at about 95% of one step change.
well this depends on what moving average you are using. for example if a stick is above its 200 simple moving average (a very important time frame) you can saftly say it is in an uptrend (careful it could always reverse trends). Moving averages can be use for trading to. for short term trading like swing and day trading you should look at smaller moving averages like the 10 period, and 50 period, which are widely used. Caution! remember there are 2 moving averages in trading, a simple moving average and an exponential moving average, make sure you have the right one.
To calculate the simple moving average, add up the closing prices of a set number of time periods and then divide by the number of periods.
Yes, average speed can be used to calculate the speed of an object moving at a constant speed. This is because the average speed over a whole journey for an object moving at a constant speed is the same as its actual speed.
When implemented digitally, exponential smoothing is easier to implement and more efficient to compute, as it does not require maintaining a history of previous input data values. Furthermore, there are no sudden effects in the output as occurs with a moving average when an outlying data point passes out of the interval over which you are averaging. With exponential smoothing, the effect of the unusual data fades uniformly. (It still has a big impact when it first appears.)
To calculate a moving average, you add up a set number of data points and then divide by the total number of data points in the set. This helps to smooth out fluctuations in the data and show a trend over time.
To calculate the moving average cost for a product, you add up the total cost of all units purchased and divide it by the total number of units purchased. This gives you the average cost per unit based on the most recent purchases.

Calculate the average velocity for the objects.
To use a displaced moving average, you calculate the moving average and then shift it to the right or left by a specified number of periods. This helps in smoothing out the data and providing a clearer indication of the underlying trend. Traders often use displaced moving averages to identify potential entry or exit points in the market.

"Evaluate" means to calculate - find out what value it has.
