Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) in FX Replay

The Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) is an advanced trend-following indicator that offers a faster response to price action compared to a traditional EMA. It smooths price data twice, helping traders detect shifts in trend direction more quickly and with less lag.

How It’s Calculated

  • Choose a period (e.g., 20).
  • Calculate the first EMA on price.
  • Calculate the second EMA (EMA of the first EMA).
  • Apply the formula:
  • DEMA = (2 × EMA) − EMA of EMA

This creates a smoother, faster-reacting line compared to a standard EMA.

How to Use DEMA in FX Replay

Trend Detection:

  • An upward-sloping DEMA typically confirms an uptrend.
  • A downward-sloping DEMA suggests a downtrend.

Price Crossovers:

  • Price crossing above the DEMA may signal a bullish shift.
  • Price crossing below the DEMA could signal bearish pressure.

Bounce Confirmation:

  • Price bouncing off the DEMA during a trend can confirm support or resistance behavior.

Dynamic Support/Resistance:

  • Use DEMA as a reference line for placing stops, entries, or dynamically managing trades.
