Re: Zero Lag EMA

Lionel,
As I stated in my earlier post...the ZLag Ema follows the close very 
closely. For a 2nd order MA I would say that's pretty good...little 
lag(meaning it reflects price slope farely well). However, if it doesn't do 
what you are looking for use something else. Try a plot of just the Close 
and the Zlag Ema and see how close they are.
