EMA (Exponential Moving Average) indicator is an exponential moving average that is calculated by adding a certain share of the current closing price to the previous moving average value. When exponential moving averages are used, last closing prices are of more importance.

EMA = ((CLOSE (i)-(CLOSE (i-1)) * P EMA [i-1];

Where:

is CLOSE (i) — the price of the current period closing;

is EMA (i-1) — the value of the moving average of the previous period;

is P -  the period.
