Media Móvil Exponencial (EMA)

Tendencia Cubrir

Descripción
La media móvil exponencial (EMA) es similar a la media móvil simple (SMA) y mide
la dirección de la tendencia durante un período de tiempo. Sin embargo, mientras
que SMA simplemente calcula un promedio de los datos de precios, EMA aplica
más peso a los datos más actuales. Debido a su cálculo único, la EMA seguirá los
precios más de cerca que una SMA correspondiente.

Cómo funciona este indicador
Utilice las mismas reglas que se aplican a SMA al interpretar EMA. Tenga en
cuenta que la EMA generalmente es más sensible al movimiento de precios.
Esto puede ser un arma de doble filo. Por un lado, puede ayudarlo a identificar
tendencias antes de lo que lo haría un SMA. Por otro lado, la EMA
probablemente experimentará más cambios a corto plazo que una SMA
correspondiente.
Use the EMA to determine trend direction, and trade in that direction. When the
EMA rises, you may want to consider buying when prices dip near or just below

the EMA. When the EMA falls, you may consider selling when prices rally
towards or just above the EMA.
Moving averages can also indicate support and resistance areas. A rising EMA
tends to support the price action, while a falling EMA tends to provide resistance
to price action. This reinforces the strategy of buying when the price is near the
rising EMA and selling when the price is near the falling EMA.
All moving averages, including the EMA, are not designed to identify a trade at
the exact bottom and top. Moving averages may help you trade in the general
direction of a trend, but with a delay at the entry and exit points. The EMA has a
shorter delay than the SMA with the same period.

Calculation
You should notice how the EMA uses the previous value of the EMA in its
calculation. This means the EMA includes all the price data within its current value.
The newest price data has the most impact on the Moving Average and the oldest
prices data has only a minimal impact.

EMA = (K x (C - P)) + P

Where:
C = Current Price
P = Previous periods EMA (A SMA is used for the first periods calculations)
K = Exponential smoothing constant

The smoothing constant K, applies appropriate weight to the most recent price. It
uses the number of periods specified in the moving average.

Simple Moving Average (SMA)
SMA is the easiest moving average to construct. It is simply the average price over the
specified period.

Technical analysis focuses on market action — specifically, volume and price. Technical analysis is only one approach
to analyzing stocks. When considering which stocks to buy or sell, you should use the approach that you're most
comfortable with. As with all your investments, you must make your own determination as to whether an investment
in any particular security or securities is right for you based on your investment objectives, risk tolerance, and
financial situation. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
