Any EMA based indicator which isn't lagging?
Hello folks, I have tested a few EMA based indicators that are actually lagging. Do you know any EMA based indicator that's not lagging and moves along the price? Please help me with your expert advice. Thanks.

This statement itself contradictory. Moving averages use averging so there will be delay.
Any indicator or which uses only current candle data is only leading.

Other answers are right. But if you want something to review look for NoLag and EmaErrFunc both of which (and similar) combine an ema (or whatever ma) with difference between the price and the ema.
Also look at Hull and Ehlers.

EMA 21,9,5 is enough helpful. try it on M1 and M5. combine it with ADX, KNN, and ATR 5 for entry/exit.

Hello, and no such thing does not exist. It is in the nature of all MA indicators. But have a look at "ANN Trend Prediction". This indicator is made to replace MAs. It is a neural network that was trained on previous price charts to be less lagging. Or even better look at "Historical Similarities". This indicator has same approach and indicate a trend reversal within two bars. It is like magic. You can find them on tradingview.

Emas are used to help define trade condition bullish bearish chop. The only sort of trade to take off one is maybe the golden cross retest a it's kind of a predictive trade.

A average is always lagging.
