What this reading is

The simple moving average is the plain average of price over a fixed number of bars, the slowest and steadiest of the trend lines. On directional accuracy this ranks 1 of 7 readings on this chart, in line with the median of 98.0%.

Why the timeframe changes the read

The same prediction reads differently depending on the chart you act on. A slower frame sets context; a faster one decides timing. E-mini S&P 500 on the 5 minute chart is one view of SMA, and comparing it against the other frames below is usually more useful than any single number.

How the prediction is produced

Rather than only plotting what has already happened, LiveCharts.AI projects the next 30 bars forward — for price and for each indicator you have enabled. The projected path and the live direction are generated inside the platform for whichever chart you have open.
