Let’s first start with what a moving average is and the formulation of an exponential moving average.\u00a0After, we will dive into some key rules of the exponential moving average strategy,<\/span><\/p>\n

Exponential Moving Average and Exponential Moving Average Formulas Explained<\/span><\/h2>\n

An exponential moving average is a line on a price chart that uses a mathematical formula to smooth price action.\u00a0It shows the average price over a certain period.\u00a0The EMA formula gives more weight to recent prices.\u00a0This means it is more reliable because it reacts quickly to the latest data price changes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Exponential moving averages attempt to reduce confusion and noise from daily price action.\u00a0Second, moving averages smooth prices and reveal trends.\u00a0It sometimes reveals patterns you can’t see.\u00a0Averages are also more reliable and accurate in predicting future changes in market prices.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are 3 steps to the exponential moving average formula and calculating the EMA.\u00a0The formula uses the average moving average of the SMA as the starting point for the EMA value.\u00a0To calculate SMA, take the total number of times and divide by 20.<\/span><\/p>\n

We need multipliers that make moving averages put more focus on the most recent prices.<\/span><\/p>\n

The moving average formula brings all these values \u200b\u200btogether.\u00a0They form a moving average.<\/span><\/p>\n

The exponential moving average formula below is for the 20-day EMA:<\/span><\/p>\n

Initial SMA = 20-time sum \/ 20<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Multiplier = (2 \/ (Time period + 1)) = (2 \/ (20 + 1)) = 0.0952 (9.52%)<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

EMA = {Close \u2013 EMA (previous day)} x multiplier + EMA (previous day).<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The general rule is that if the price is trading above the moving average, we are in an uptrend.\u00a0As long as we are above the exponential moving average, we should expect higher prices.\u00a0Conversely, if we trade below, we are in a downtrend.\u00a0As long as we are trading below the moving average, we should expect lower prices.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Before we go any further, we always recommend writing down the trading rules on a piece of paper.\u00a0This training will increase your learning curve and you will become a better trader.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s start\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Exponential Moving Average Strategy<\/span><\/h3>\n

(Trade Rules \u2013 Sell Trade)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our exponential moving average strategy consists of two elements.\u00a0The first step to catch a new trend is to use two exponential moving averages as an entry filter.<\/span><\/p>\n

By using one moving average with a longer period and one with a shorter period, we automate the strategy.\u00a0This removes any form of subjectivity from our trading process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step #1: Plot on your chart the 20 and 50 EMA<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The first step is to properly set up our chart with the correct moving average.\u00a0We can identify the EMA crossover at the final stage.\u00a0The exponential moving average strategy uses the EMA and 20 period EMA.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most standard trading platforms come with a default moving average indicator.\u00a0It shouldn’t be a problem to spot the EMA on either your MT4 or Tradingview platform.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, we’re ready to take a closer look at the pricing structure.\u00a0This brings us to the next step of the strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step #2: Wait for the EMA crossover and the price to trade above the 20 and 50 EMA.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The second rule of this moving strategy is the need for price to trade above both the 20 and 50 EMA.\u00a0Second, we need to wait for the EMA crossover, which will add weight to the bullish case.<\/span><\/p>\n

We refer to an EMA crossover for a buy trade when the 50-EMA crosses the 50 EMA.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

By looking at the EMA crossover, we create automatic buy and sell signals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the market is prone to false breakouts, we need more evidence than a simple EMA crossover.\u00a0At this stage, we don’t know if the bullish sentiment is strong enough to push the price down after we buy to make a profit.<\/span><\/p>\n

To avoid false breakouts, we add new encounters to support our view.\u00a0This brings us to the next step of the strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step #3: Wait for the zone between the 20 and 50 EMA to be tested at least twice, then look for a buying opportunity.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The confidence behind this moving average strategy depends on various factors.\u00a0After the EMA crossover occurs, we need to be patient.\u00a0We will wait for two zones in a row and succeed between the 20 and 50 EMA.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both retests of the zone between the 20 and 50 EMA managed to give the market enough time to develop a trend.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t forget that no price is too high to buy into the trade.\u00a0And no price is too low to sell.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Note * When we refer to the “zone between the 20 and 50EMA,” we do not actually mean that the price should trade in the space between the two moving averages.<\/span><\/p>\n

We just want to cover the entire price spectrum between the two EMAs.\u00a0This is because the price will only briefly touch the moving average (20-EMA).\u00a0But this still works.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, we still need to decide where we will buy.\u00a0This brings us to the next step of the strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step #4: Buy the market when we retest the zone between the 20 and 50 EMA for the third time.<\/span><\/h4>\n

If the price manages to repeat the zone between the 20 and 50 EMA for the third time, we go ahead and buy at the market price.\u00a0We now have enough evidence that bullish momentum is strong to continue pushing this market higher.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, we still need to determine where to place the protective stop loss and where to take profit.\u00a0This brings us to the next step of the strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step #5: Place a protective Stop Loss 20 pips below the 50 EMA<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

After the EMA crossover occurs, and once we have two in a row, we know the trend is over.\u00a0As long as we trade above both exponential moving averages the trend remains intact.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this case, we place our protective stop loss 20 pips below the 50 EMA.\u00a0We add a buffer of 20 pips because we understand we don’t live in a perfect world.\u00a0The market tends to fake acne.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The final part of our EMA strategy is the exit strategy.\u00a0It is based again on an exponential moving average.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step #6: Take Profits once we break and close below the 50-EMA<\/span><\/h4>\n

In this case, we do not use the same exit technique as our entry technique, which is based on the EMA crossover.<\/span><\/p>\n

If we wait for the EMA crossover to occur on the other side, we will give back potential profits.\u00a0We need to consider the fact that the exponential moving average is a lagging indicator.<\/span><\/p>\n

The exponential moving average formula used to plot our EMAs allows us to continue taking profits right when the market is about to reverse.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"exponential<\/p>\n

Note ** The above is an example of a BUY trade.\u00a0Use the same rules \u2013 but in reverse \u2013 for SELL trades.\u00a0However, as the market went down faster, we sold on a retest of 1 zone between 20 and 50. After the EMA crossover occurred.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the picture below, you can see an example of a real SELL trade, using our strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Summary<\/span><\/h2>\n

The exponential moving average strategy is a classic example of how to build a simple EMA crossover system.\u00a0With this exponential moving average system, we are not trying to predict the market.\u00a0We try to react to current market conditions, which is a better way to trade.<\/span><\/p>\n

The advantage of our trading strategy is in the exponential moving average formula.\u00a0It launches a smoother EMA that provides better entry and exit.<\/span><\/p>\n
