Moving averages (EMA)

See the trend at a glance

A moving average shows the trend at a glance.

The 20 and 50 period exponential moving averages on the 1-hour gold chart show the trend at a glance.

How to use

  • Price above both: uptrend bias
  • Price below both: downtrend bias
  • Pullbacks to the EMA = possible entries

Price above both averages means an uptrend bias. Below both, a downtrend bias. Pullbacks to the average can be entries.

Careful

  • In a range, EMAs whipsaw
  • Use with structure, not alone

In a sideways market moving averages whipsaw, so use them with structure.
