Indicator Description ​

EMV (Ease of Movement) is a technical indicator that combines price and volume to measure the ease of price movement and reflect market supply and demand.

Function Information ​

  • Function Name: EMV
  • Input Parameters: High, Low, Volume
  • Parameter Settings: timeperiod1 (default: 13), timeperiod2 (default: 8)
  • Output: mv, emv, emva

Calculation Principle ​

EMV is calculated using the following formula:

MidPoint = (High + Low) / 2
MidPointMove = MidPoint - MidPoint[-1]
BoxRatio = Volume / (High - Low)
EMV = MidPointMove / BoxRatio
EMVA = MA(EMV, timeperiod2)

Where MidPoint[-1] is the previous midpoint and MA is the moving average.

Usage Scenarios ​

  1. Market supply and demand analysis
  2. Price movement ease judgment
  3. Volume effectiveness verification
  4. Trend strength confirmation

Usage Recommendations ​

  1. EMV turning from negative to positive can be seen as a buy signal
  2. EMV turning from positive to negative can be seen as a sell signal
  3. Use in combination with price trends
  4. Pay attention to volume coordination

Notes ​

  • Parameter settings affect indicator sensitivity
