EMA Variation Ribbon Uses Speed Changes to Create Crossovers

Summary

The document describes a ribbon built from an EMA variation indicator. It uses the indicator’s speed setting to form a pair of signals that can cross, while keeping the calculation period unchanged. The suggested use is to read those crossings as a trading signal, similar to other crossover indicators.

The author says that using nearby speed settings may produce interesting results, but provides no chart details, backtest, market, or performance evidence. The note also points to a separate explanation of the underlying EMA variation indicator without reproducing its calculation method. As a result, it offers a basic construction idea rather than a complete trading system: it does not specify entry and exit rules, risk controls, or how to validate signals across instruments and timeframes.

Key ideas

• The ribbon uses the speed setting of an EMA variation indicator to create crossing signals.
• The calculation period can remain unchanged while the speed settings differ.
• The crossings are intended to be interpreted like those of other crossover indicators.
• The document gives no performance data or detailed rules for trading or validating the signals.
