Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
he Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a type of moving average that gives greater weight to more recent price data, making it more responsive to recent price changes than a Simple Moving Average (SMA). EMAs are widely used in technical analysis to identify trend direction and generate buy or sell signals based on crossovers. Like all moving averages, the EMA is a lagging indicator — it reacts to price rather than anticipating it. One-Signal deliberately excludes EMAs and other technical indicators from its signal methodology, specifically to avoid self-fulfilling trend-following signals. Our system reads investor sentiment directly through the VIX, put/call ratio, and sentiment surveys — forward-looking measures of crowd psychology that precede price movements rather than confirming them.
