The GMMA Indicator uses two sets of exponential moving averages (EMAs). One group tracks short-term trader behavior, and the other follows long-term investor trends. When both groups move in the same direction with strong spacing, it signals a solid trend. But when the groups tangle or narrow, it hints at market indecision or possible reversals. This makes the GMMA ideal for trend-following strategies. How It Works on MT4 Once installed on MetaTrader 4, the GMMA displays 12 moving average lines: 6 short-term and 6 long-term.
