EMA Crossover for EURUSD (EUR/USD)

Two exponential moving averages — buy when the fast crosses above the slow, exit when it crosses back.

Why EMA Crossover Works on EURUSD

The EMA crossover is the textbook trend-following strategy. A fast EMA (typically 9–13) reacts to recent price; a slow EMA (21–50) tracks the broader trend. The crossover marks a regime change. It captures large directional moves in trending markets and fails predictably in chop — making it easy to layer with a regime filter.
