Daily vs weekly signals

Every FactorSage moving average is available on a daily and a weekly version. The right choice is mostly a function of how often you want to review and trade.

Daily signals

Daily moving averages such as DAILY_SMA_50 or DAILY_EMA_21 are the right default for most investors. They update every trading day and align with how price data is published.

Weekly signals

Weekly versions like WEEKLY_SMA_50 or WEEKLY_EMA_200 smooth out short-term noise further. They are useful when you only want a small number of decisions per year and are happy to miss faster moves.
