EMA Strategies (9 & 21)
Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) react faster to price changes than Simple Moving Averages (SMA). They are the speedometer of the trend.
Why 9 and 21?
- 9 EMA: Represents the immediate short-term trend (Scalping line).
- 21 EMA: Represents the stable short-term trend (Support line).
The Crossover Strategy
Golden Cross (Bullish)
When the 9 EMA crosses ABOVE the 21 EMA.
This signals that momentum is shifting upwards aggressively.
Death Cross (Bearish)
When the 9 EMA crosses BELOW the 21 EMA.
This signals that momentum is collapsing.
The "Riding" Strategy
In a strong trend, price will hug the 9 EMA.
Rule: As long as candles are closing above the 9 EMA, do not exit your Long position. Ride the wave
until a candle closes below it.
