TEMA: Triple Exponential Moving Average

An even faster moving average than DEMA: three EMAs combined to remove most of the delay.

La idea en pocas palabras

Like DEMA, it estimates how much a moving average trails the price and corrects for it, using a third level of smoothing to keep the line smooth while staying close to the price.

Cómo se calcula

EMA of the price, EMA of that, and EMA of that again, combined as three times the first minus three times the second plus the third.

E1 = EMA(close, N), E2 = EMA(E1, N), E3 = EMA(E2, N)
TEMA = 3 × E1 − 3 × E2 + E3   (default N = 14)

Cómo usarlo

  • Short-term trend following, for example price crossing TEMA, or a fast TEMA crossing a slow one.

Sacar conclusiones

  • TEMA hugs the price closely; turns appear quickly but some will be false.

Ejemplo

On a 15-minute chart, TEMA(14) turns up one candle after a low, while the 14-period SMA takes about six.

Los precios de los ejemplos son ilustrativos.

Ten cuidado con

  • Very responsive, so expect more whipsaws in choppy markets.
