Cornerstone guides on EMA, SMA, WMA, HMA, DEMA, TEMA, VWMA — every formula explained, every strategy tested with 5 years of NIFTY 50 and BANK NIFTY data. New post every day.
Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) weights each bar by trading volume — high-volume bars matter more than quiet ones. Here is the formula, the worked example, and the cases where VWMA materially outperforms SMA on Indian-index futures an
Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA) extends Patrick Mulloy's lag-removal idea by one more layer. Here is the formula, when TEMA beats DEMA and EMA, and the realistic trade-offs on noisy intraday Indian-index data.
Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) was Patrick Mulloy's 1994 attempt to keep EMA's smoothness while removing most of its lag. Here is the formula, the math, and when DEMA outperforms a plain EMA on Indian indices.
A Hull Moving Average strategy is only as good as its filters. Here is a complete rule set — entry, stop, target, regime gate — built around HMA slope on NIFTY 50, with the realistic limitations spelled out.
Alan Hull's HMA formula uses three nested weighted moving averages: a fast WMA over half the period, a slow WMA over the full period, and a final smoothing WMA over the square root of the period. Here is each step in detail with a worked NI
The Weighted Moving Average uses linearly increasing weights — the most recent bar gets weight N, the oldest gets weight 1. Here is the formula, a worked example on NIFTY 50, and how to implement it in Excel and Python.
The Simple Moving Average is the arithmetic mean of the last N closing prices. Here is the formula, a worked example on NIFTY 50, and how to compute it in Excel, pandas, and Pine Script.
The Exponential Moving Average is defined by a simple recursive formula: alpha times today's close plus (1 minus alpha) times yesterday's EMA. Here is the math, the worked example on NIFTY 50, and how to compute it in Excel and Python.
The Weighted Moving Average (WMA) gives more importance to recent prices than older ones using a linear weight schedule. Here is the formula, a worked example, and when it beats SMA and EMA on Indian indices.
A moving average is just a smoothed version of price. Choose the wrong one and you fight your indicator instead of the market. This pillar walks through all seven types that matter for Indian-index traders — what each one does, when each wo
The Hull Moving Average (HMA) is one of the rare indicators that makes a moving average both faster and smoother at the same time. Here's how it works, what its formula does, and how Indian traders read it on NIFTY 50 and BANK NIFTY.
