EMA 1 and EMA 2 for Poloniex
« on: August 31, 2017, 11:22:50 PM »
Hello,

I have the latest version 4.0.5 (Windows) and I really need some help about EMA 1 & EMA 2 values that we should enter for Poloniex! I searched a lot (check in the image) and found values like 0.04 & 0.02, 2 & 4, 200 & 50 !! Which are correct?

When applying a pure BB strategy do we really need EMA 1 & EMA 2 for the bot to function? I say that because when we create BB we need first to Middle Band = 20-day simple moving average (SMA). SMA is not exactly the same as EMA 1 & EMA 2. I am also a little bit confused about that...

thanX in advance
Nick

on v405 I got errors on using pure BB with the EMA lines left out. as soon I pasted those lines into the strategy, no more errors.

It's exact! BB (Bollinger Bands) pure strategy does not work here without applying EMA1 & EMA2.

As noted in other threads, normally Bollinger Bands should not use EMA1 & EMA2, but it should be based on SMA which is a completely different thing...

Well EMA is used until there is enough data for bb strategy.

Did you get any answers on what the correct EMA1 and EMA2 settings are?
