Questions
What does "above its 200-day moving average" mean?
The 200-day moving average is the mean of VXUS's last 200 daily closes. VXUS is above it when the day's close is higher than that mean, below when lower. A close exactly on the line keeps the side it had.
When does this VXUS page update?
After every US market close, once the day's official close is final (about 6:30 pm New York time). The dateline at the top names the last close it reflects.
What is the "confirmed on 3 closes" column?
The confirmed variant changes side only after three consecutive closes on the new side, and its cross date is the third close. For VXUS it has crossed the 200-day 4.3 times a year on average, against 7.4 for the raw rule.
Which prices are used?
Unadjusted daily closes: split-adjusted, not dividend-adjusted, the prices a broker chart shows. Dividend-adjusted series put many cross dates on different days; the method page explains the choice.
