Under the Hood
How It Works
EMA applies a weighting multiplier that decreases exponentially. Common periods are 9, 12, 21, 50, and 200. Shorter periods react faster to price changes.
In Practice
How Traders Use It
EMA crossovers generate trading signals. A short-term EMA crossing above a long-term EMA (golden cross) is bullish; crossing below (death cross) is bearish.
