Exponential Moving Average Video Lesson: How to Trade It
Research Performed With TrendSpider
Through TrendSpider’s advanced backtesting engine, I conducted a scientific analysis of its accuracy, settings, and success rates.
My research shows that the best setting for the EMA indicator is a 20-day period on a Heikin Ashi chart. This setting is the only one that outperforms a buy-and-hold strategy with an 83% win rate. All other settings on OHLC charts and timeframes produce losses and a failure rate of 67%.
