About DEMA

Every trader is familiar with basic moving averages such as:

  • Simple Moving Average (SMA)
  • Expotential Moving Average (EMA)
  • Linear Weighted Moving Average (LWMA)
  • Smoothed Moving Average (SMMA)

SMA and EMA are the most popular one. They work nicely in a stock market, but in faster markets (or lower time frames) they tend to lag. That is why traders kept on improving averages and that is why we can use other types of averages. DEMA is one of them.

The double exponential moving average (DEMA) was developed by Patrick Mulloy to reduce the lag time. It was first described in 1994, in the Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine in Mulloy’s article “Smoothing Data with Faster Moving Averages”.

DEMA can also be used in indicators which are based on moving averages (MACD, Bollinger Bands, others)

Differences between DEMA and other averages

Let’s take popular pair of 21 and 55 expotential averages:
