# ZLEMA - Zero Lag Exponential Moving Average

#### Description <a href="#description_77" id="description_77"></a>

The Zero Lag Exponential Moving Average is another variation of the EMA. Zero lag in this context signifies no delay, which means that the indicator adapts to the price changes more closely. The indicator does so by removing older price data and decreasing the cumulative effect in order to minimize the lag.
