Exponential Moving Average Exponential Percentage =  2 ---------------------------- Time Periods  +  1 Ex: for 3 day EMA, E % = 2/(3 + 1) E % = 2/4 = 0.5
3 DAY EMA A B C D E DAY PRICE PRICE * 0.5 YESTERDAY E * 0.5 C + D 1 10 10.000 2 11 5.5 5 10.500 3 12 6 5.25 11.250 4 13 6.5 5.625 12.125 5 14 7 6.062 13.062 6 15 7.5 6.531 14.031 7 16 8 7.015 15.015
