TRIX: Triple Exponential Average
The rate of change of a triple-smoothed moving average: a slow, smooth momentum line that ignores small wiggles.
Die Idee in einfachen Worten
Smoothing a price three times removes almost all short-term noise. TRIX then shows whether that very smooth line is rising or falling, and how fast.
So wird gerechnet
EMA of EMA of EMA of the close, then the change from one candle to the next as a fraction.
E3 = EMA(EMA(EMA(close, N), N), N)
TRIX = (E3 − previous E3) ÷ previous E3 (default N = 14)Anwendung
- TRIX crossing above zero: the smooth trend has turned up; below zero: down.
- Divergences with the price show slowing trends.
Schlüsse ziehen
- Because it is so smooth, TRIX signals are late but rarely flicker.
Beispiel
On a weekly chart TRIX turns positive after six months below zero: a long-term trend change.
Kurse in Beispielen dienen der Veranschaulichung.
Worauf man achten sollte
- Too slow for short-term trading.
Ein wenig Geschichte
Jack Hutson introduced TRIX in Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities in the early 1980s.
