EMA Crossover Signal Metatrader 5 Forex Indicator

The EMA Crossover Signal Metatrader 5 forex indicator is the simplest semaphore signal indicator that is dependent on varying moving averages period.

The indicator does perform very well on a trending market and less in a flat market.

Therefore, use together with a trend-following forex indicator with longer period, for example, a 200 exponential moving average would fit.

The EMA Crossover Signal MT5 forex indicator is designed based on the crossover of the Linear Weighted Fast and Slow Moving Averages, with a default period of 5 and 6 respectively.

Increasing the value of the periods of both the FasterMA and SlowerMA will yield reduced signals, thereby minimizing the risk of more false signals.
