Definition
Like SMA but gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to new information.
Parameters
Asset, Lookback period
Output range: Same scale as price
Example condition
`Price > EMA(AAPL, 21)` (Price above short-term trend)Use in a strategy
Add this indicator to a strategy condition, choose its supported parameters and compare the output with the threshold required by your rule. Preserve the same interval and lookback when comparing backtests.
After saving the condition, inspect its asset, interval, lookback and comparison operator against the parameters above. If no trades occur, check whether the condition ever became true and whether the requested input data exists for that period. A missing input is not a zero-valued signal. An indicator produces an input to a rule. It does not establish future returns, and data availability can differ across assets and periods.
