EMA question

[shyguy]

Does the ema from yesterday change depending on future prices? Or does it move with the prices of tomorrow? Hope thats clear?

EMA is a lagging indicator.

So todays price can change yesterdays ema?

No, EMA is not "forward looking" like Zig Zag for example. EMA values are calculated from previous and present values. A new bar will not change values for previous bars.
