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.
