📉📈EMA Length

Set the trend filter that determines whether signals follow or counter the trend.

EMA Length Setting

🎯 How It Works

The EMA acts as a trend filter, changing how signals behave:

Trend-Following Mode

Buy when:

  • Price is above EMA

  • Confirms uptrend

Sell when:

  • Price is below EMA

  • Confirms downtrend
