Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) – indicator MetaTrader 5

Double Exponential Moving Average technical Indicator (DEMA) was developed by Patrick Mulloy and published in February 1994 in the “Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities” magazine.

It is used for smoothing price series and is applied directly on a price chart of a financial security. Besides, it can be used for smoothing values of other indicators.

The advantage of this indicator is that it eliminates false signals at the saw-toothed price movement and allows saving a position at a strong trend.

Double Exponential Moving Average Indicator

Calculation:

This indicator is based on the Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Let’s view the error of price deviation from EMA value:

err(i) = Price(i) – EMA(Price, N, i)

where:

  • err(i) – current EMA error;
  • Price(i) – current price;
  • EMA(Price, N, i) – current EMA value of Price series with N period.

Let’s add the value of the exponential average error to the value of the exponential moving average of a price and we will receive DEMA:

Alternative:   RealValue - indicator MetaTrader 5
DEMA(i) = EMA(Price, N, i) + EMA(err, N, i) = EMA(Price, N, i) + EMA(Price – EMA(Price, N, i), N, i) =
= 2 * EMA(Price, N, i) – EMA(Price – EMA(Price, N, i), N, i) = 2 * EMA(Price, N, i) – EMA2(Price, N, i)

where:

  • EMA(err, N, i) – current value of the exponential average of error err;
  • EMA2(Price, N, i) – current value of the double consequential smoothing of prices.
