    Description:
    EMA Predictive

    Formula Parameters:
    Long Period : 25
    Short Period : 8
    Extra Time Forward : 1



    Notes:
    Traditional moving averages, as simple-minded linear filters, have significant group delay.
    In engineering that isn't so important as nobody cares if your sound from your iPod is delayed
    a few milliseconds after it is first processed. But in markets, you can't
    trade on the smoothed price, only the actual noisy, market price now. Hence you
    ought to estimate better.
    This statistic (what math/science people call what technical analysts call an 'indicator')
    may be useful as the "fast" moving average in a moving average crossover trading system.
    It could also be useful for the slow moving average as well.
