Exponential Moving Average - EMA

    0.03 sec.
Exponential Moving Average - EMA
A type of moving average that is similar to a simple moving average, except that more weight is given to the latest data. Also known as "exponentially weighted moving average".

Notes:
This type of moving average reacts faster to recent price changes than a simple moving average. The 12- and 26-day EMAs are the most popular short-term averages, and they are used to create indicators like the 'moving average convergence divergence' and the 'percentage price oscillator'. In general, the 50- and 200-day EMAs are used as signals of long-term trends.
