no limit on how far prices can move in one day • Indicators behave differently for different categories, e.g. stocks, bonds, commodities Exponential Moving Averages • Weights recent data more heavily than older data • Smoothing constant determines how “fast” the moving average reacts to data. • Some people refer to EMAs by a time component, e.g. 39-day EMA 2 Smoothing Constant = --------------- n
