EMA
Exponential Moving Average
A weighted moving average that gives more influence to recent prices, making it more responsive to new information than a simple moving average.
The EMA applies an exponentially decaying weighting to past prices — the most recent bars influence the average most, older bars fade out. This makes the EMA react faster to price changes than an SMA of the same length, at the cost of being slightly noisier.
Common lengths: 9/21 for short-term, 50 for medium-term, 200 for long-term trend. EMAs are used in three main ways: as dynamic support/resistance, as trend filters (price vs EMA), and as crossover signals between two EMAs of different lengths.
