# Exponential Moving Average

### Overview

Exponential moving averages react quicker to price changes than simple moving averages. In some cases, this may be good, and in others, it may cause false signals. Moving averages with a shorter look back period (20 candles, for example) will also respond quicker to price changes than an average with a longer look back period (e.g. 30 candles).
