EMA Implementation
EMA replaces SMA in MACD calculation using getMA() function that switches between ta.ema() and ta.sma() based on user input. Default is EMA for faster price response - standard TradingView MACD actually uses EMA internally.
​

Key Benefits of EMA over SMA:

Weights recent prices higher (exponential decay)

Faster trend detection and signal generation

Less lag in volatile markets

Traders select "EMA" (default) or "SMA" via dropdown. Table shows active MA type. EMA typically generates more signals due to quicker response.
