DecEMA: A Moving Average Built from EMA Smoothing

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

DecEMA is described as a moving average formed as a linear combination of exponential moving average smoothing series. The document identifies the indicator’s author and notes that its initial implementation appeared in MQL4 before later publication in a code library. This gives a basic conceptual description of how the indicator relates to EMA calculations.

The source provides no parameters, calculation examples, comparison with other moving averages, trading rules, or performance evidence. It also refers to a supporting software library and an accompanying explanation of intermediate averaging calculations, but does not reproduce those details. As a result, the material is useful as a brief indicator introduction, while offering too little information to evaluate responsiveness, lag, or suitability for a particular market or strategy.

Key ideas

  • DecEMA is defined as a linear combination of EMA smoothing series.
  • The document presents it as a moving average indicator rather than a complete trading strategy.
  • It references an implementation history and a supporting software library.
  • No formulas, parameter guidance, comparative tests, or trading results are included.
