The Leader EMA Metatrader 5 forex indicator is credited to Giorgos E. Siligardos, who’s an active leader in the development of the MACD indicator.
Giorgos was able to construct a type of moving average that he goes ahead to tag “a kind of a zero lag EMA”.
The MT5 indicator was designed to completely act as a standalone technical tool based on its construct.
In a simplistic design, it comes as a twin line plotted on the activity chart, forming crosses as it smoothens along with price.
The signal line crosses are an indicator of changes in trend, from bullish to bearish or bearish to bullish.
