  How would I create a new indicator that calculates the difference between EMA(13) and EMA(48.5)? With the value being negative when the EMA(13) crosses below the EMA (48.5). Here is the article I read detailing this crossover, https://finance.yahoo.com/news/study-determines-best-moving-average-195042216.html.

  Per their site*:

  Good Yahoo article  EMA(13)/EMA(48.5) crossover. My problem is I try too hard nailing the trend too early and get stopped out before the trend really changes. 
 
 MTW is a good example of trend change and EMA(13)/EMA(48) crossover.
 I've add a few longer term average showing the squeezing and the starting of roll over of trend change.

  When you see the longer term averages start squeezing and rolling over.
