Matrix EMAS

The 5, 13, 50, 200 and 800 EMA ribbon the whole method is built on, each one colour-coded.

Matrix EMAS on a TradingView chart

What it shows

Matrix EMAS plots five exponential moving averages on your chart in one pass, each rendered in a fixed color so the ribbon reads at a glance: the 5 EMA in yellow, 13 EMA in red, 50 EMA in aqua, 200 EMA (gray by default, switchable to white), and 800 EMA in blue.

It's a charting indicator, not a signal generator — it draws the lines; reading them is the method taught in the curriculum below.

How it's used in the MTM method

This is the EMA ribbon the Academy's EMA Technical Analysis module (level 3) is built around. The curriculum's "Matrix Chart Setup" and "The 5 EMA Settings" lessons walk through installing this exact ribbon with these exact colors — 5 (Yellow), 13 (Red), 50 (Aqua/Water), 200 (White), 800 (Blue) — before moving into trend identification (EMAs stacked above price read as sells, below as buys, bunched together as consolidation).

The 50 EMA gets its own lesson — "The Aqua" — on the idea that price constantly returns to it, and the 800 EMA anchors the "Blue Waves" lesson in the Risk Management module, which reads its wave structure for macro trend context. The 5/13 relationship is also what the Matrix Shift Indicator (below) automates as a crossover signal.

Key features

  • Five EMAs plotted at once: 5 (yellow), 13 (red), 20 (orange), 50 (aqua), 800 (blue)
  • 200 EMA defaults to gray with an input option to switch it to white
  • Fixed color coding, so the ribbon reads the same on every chart and timeframe

FAQ

Do I need to configure the colors myself?

No — the ribbon ships with the colors already set (5 Yellow, 13 Red, 50 Aqua, 200 White/gray, 800 Blue), the same colors the curriculum's EMA lessons teach against.

Is this a buy/sell signal indicator?

No — it plots the five EMAs only. Reading trend direction and entries from the ribbon is what the Academy's EMA Technical Analysis module teaches; the Matrix Shift Indicator and Matrix Swing Trade Strategy below automate specific EMA-based signals.

Does it work on futures as well as forex?

Yes — the curriculum's Futures Trading module has a dedicated lesson on applying the Matrix EMA system to futures like ES, NQ and YM with contract-specific settings.
