Geometric-Mean Simple Moving Average Indicator

Summary

This brief description introduces a simple moving average calculated using a geometric mean. It identifies two configurable inputs: the number of observations in the calculation period and the price series used as the input. The indicator therefore differs from a conventional arithmetic moving average in how it aggregates prices, while still serving as a smoothed representation of price over a selected window.

The document provides no formula, implementation details, trading rules, market examples, or performance evidence. It does not explain how the geometric calculation handles nonpositive prices or compare the indicator with arithmetic moving averages. It is best read as a concise description of an indicator’s parameters rather than a complete guide to its interpretation or use.

Key ideas

• The indicator computes a moving average using a geometric mean.
• Its period parameter sets the number of observations included in the calculation.
• Its applied-price parameter determines which price input is averaged.
• The description supplies no trading rules or evidence about performance.
