Moving Average Exponential(EMA)

Moving Average exponential is a type of moving average.

Moving Average exponential is a trend following indicator.

Since Moving Average exponential is a trend following indicator, it is therefore used to indicate the direction of the market, that is whether the market is moving upwards or downwards.


Moving Average Exponential is based on bullish and bearish as well as support and resistance.

Just like in weight moving average,moving average exponential also places more weight on recent price than on previous price.

Therefore,Moving average exponential is calculated using the following formula;


EMA= (Current price*Z)+(previous EMA*(1-Z)

Where Z is the smoothing constant % for price value calculated as 2/(n+1)

where n is the number of periods.

Therefore, since moving average exponential is a trend following indicator and is based on bullish and bearish ,it therefore follows that when the market is in an upward trend,the moving average exponential will also be moving upwards.On the other hand, when the market is in a downward trend, the moving average exponential will also be moving downwards.
Based on support and resistance, when the price rises above the moving average exponential when both are in an upward direction, the market and the moving average exponential will experience a downward reversal thus signaling the trader to close any buy position and open a sell position.
On the other hand, when the price falls below the moving average exponential when both are in a downward direction, the market and the moving average exponential will experience an upward reversal thus signaling the trader to close any sell position and open a buy position.This is indicated as from the candle sticks chart below;



From the candle sticks chart above, there are 3 points, point A, B and C. Point A and B represent the support and resistance points while point C which is blue curve represents the moving average exponential.
At point A, the market and the moving average exponential were initially moving downwards.The price then falls below the moving average exponential thus resulting to an upward reversal direction for both the market and the moving average exponential thus signaling the trader to close any sell position and open a buy position.
On the other hand, at point B the market and moving average exponential were initially moving upwards.The price then rises above the moving average exponential thus resulting to a downward reversal direction for both the market and the moving average exponential thus signaling the trader to close any buy position and open a sell position


Recommendation:If you are a day trader just use 1 min, 5 min, 15 min and 30 min timeframe while if you are a swing trader just use 1 hour and above timeframe if you want moving average exponential indicator to work well for you

MA cross

Image
MA cross is a trading indicator that is used to filter out noise from the price chart. MA cross can also be used by a trader to know the direction in which the price is moving. MA cross indicator is a trend indicator. MA cross is based on the crossover. Based on the crossover, MA cross has two moving average, the shorter term moving average and the longer term moving average. The shorter-term moving average is normally red in color and it represents the price while the longer term moving average is normally blue in color and it represents the moving average. Therefore, since MA cross is based on the crossover, it, therefore, follows that when the short term moving average crosses above the long-term moving average that will be an indication of an upward market movement thus the trader should be trading upwards. On the other hand, when the short term moving average crosses below the long-term moving average that will be an indication of a downward market thus the trader should b

coppock curve

Coppock curve indicator was created by Edwin Sedge Coppock. The coppock curve is a momentum indicator that was mainly created to determine the buy entry in the stock market.Beside buy entry for stock sell signal can also be identify though not recommended. Coppock curve has 3 period,that is 10 period,14 period and 11 period. Coppock curve is an momentum oscillator and therefore has an oscillation at point 0.0000. Coppock curve is therefore calculated using the following formula which is based on the 3 periods; Coppock curve =( WMA of 10period) of (14 period ROC+11period ROC) Where as; WMA is Weight Moving Average; ROC is Rate Of Change indicator; Since coppock curve has an oscillation at point 0,it therefore follows that when the coppock curve falls below 0.000 that will be an indication that the market has become an oversold market thus the trader should close any sell position and enter a buy position.On the other hand though not recommendable ,when the coppock curv

Least Square Moving Average(LSMA)

Least square moving average is also called linear regression moving average. Least square moving average is a trend following indicator. Just like in other moving average indicators, least square moving average is also used to indicate the direction of the market, that is whether the market is trending upwards or downwards. Least square moving average is based on bullish and bearish market as well as support and resistance. Least square moving average is therefore calculated using the following formula; LSMA= h*t+b  where as h={(n Σt i x i ) -  ( Σt i Σx i )}/{(n Σt i ) - ( Σt i Σt i )} b=1/n Σx i -h*1/n Σt i while t is the time and n is the period Since least square moving average is a trend following indicator and is based on bullish and bearish, it therefore follows that when the market is in an uptrend movement,the least square moving average will also be moving upwards while when the market is in a downward trend, the least square moving average will also be
