The Advanced EMA indicator implements an exponential moving average with many additional features. First, EMA is color-coded to indicate distance between the price and EMA. This Advanced EMA has many features and configurations that set it far above standard EMA indicators used most platforms.
There are 3 types of indications in the indicator. The EMA is color-coded. Secondly, cross points of price and EMA are marked. Thirdly, BUY/SELL signals are shown. Color-coding the EMA allows you to easily determine the distance between price and EMA. This marks the significance of the current price action. Levels of significance are measured by level:
- Weak
- Medium
- Strong
Each level is measured on the up or down side. The second indication is the marking of cross points between price and EMA. The third indication is to indicate a change in price direction.
