Exponential Moving Average
Moving averages smooth the price data to form a trend following indicator. They do not predict price direction, but rather define the current direction, though they lag due to being based on past prices. Despite this, moving averages help smooth price action and filter out the noise.
EMA=Price(t)×k+EMA(y)×(1−k)
where:
t=today
y=yesterday
N=number of days in EMA
k=2÷(N+1)
Average True Range
