Exponential Moving Average (EMA)

Definition

A type of moving average that gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to new information than SMA.

Example

EMA(12) reacts faster to price changes than SMA(12), making it useful for capturing shorter-term trends.

How Gilito AI Uses It
