MA, EMA, SMMA
Moving Averages (MA, EMA, SMMA) are a family of technical analysis indicators that show the average price of an asset over a selected period of time. They help smooth the chart by reducing the impact of short-term volatility and make it easier to identify trends.
Key characteristics
MA (Moving Average, simple moving average) — takes into account all prices over the chosen period with equal weight.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average) — gives more weight to recent price values, reacting faster to changes.
SMMA (Smoothed Moving Average) — a smoother version of MA that places more emphasis on recent data but smooths the chart better than EMA.
Interpretation
Moving average lines display the average asset value for the selected period.
The longer the period, the smoother the line and the slower it reacts to price changes.
The shorter the period, the closer the indicator follows the price.
How to enable Moving Averages
In the exchange terminal, click Indicators.
In the search field, enter:
“MA” — simple moving average.
“EMA” — exponential moving average.
“SMMA” — smoothed moving average.
Parameter settings
Click on the ⚙ icon next to the indicator’s name.
In the Length field, set the period (default = 9).
Use the same period value as in your bot settings.
Using in the bot
An entry condition can be set as follows:
Price > MA (EMA, SMMA) → the bot will start when the price is above the indicator line.
Price < MA (EMA, SMMA) → the bot will start when the price is below the indicator line.
Additionally, you can specify a deviation from the line in percentages (from -10% to +10%).
Example: the condition “Price > MA” + deviation of 10% means the bot will start when the price exceeds the MA line by 10%.
