This is an order to buy or sell a security at the current trading price. The price at which a security is trading and could presumably be purchased or sold. Moving Average A moving average is an average of a security's price over a specific time period. The average changes, for example, on a 30-day moving average, so that it includes the most current 30 trading days. Moving averages often indicate levels of support or resistance for a security.
