MA, EMA, SMMA

Moving averages (MA, EMA, SMMA) are a family of technical analysis indicators that show the average asset price over a specific period of time.

They help smooth the chart, reduce the impact of short-term volatility, and make trends easier to identify.

Main Features

  • MA (Moving Average) — a simple moving average. It gives equal weight to all prices over the selected period
  • EMA (Exponential Moving Average) — gives more weight to recent price values and reacts faster to changes
  • SMMA (Smoothed Moving Average) — a smoother version of MA that gives more weight to recent data but smooths the chart better than EMA

Interpretation

  • Moving average lines show the averaged value of the asset over the selected period
  • The longer the period, the smoother the line and the slower it reacts to price changes
  • The shorter the period, the more closely the indicator follows the price

How to Enable Moving Averages on the Exchange Chart

  1. In the exchange terminal, click Indicators
  2. Enter the required indicator in the search field:
  3. MA — simple moving average
  4. EMA — exponential moving average
  5. SMMA — smoothed moving average

Indicator Settings on the Exchange

  • Click the ⚙ icon next to the indicator name
  • In the Length field, set the period. The default value is 9
  • Use the same period value as in the bot settings

Using in the Bot

  • 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
  • You can also specify a deviation from the line as a percentage — from -10% to +10%
  • For example, the condition Price > MA with a 10% deviation means that the bot will start when the price exceeds the MA line by 10%
