TRIX: Triple Exponential Average
The rate of change of a triple-smoothed moving average: a slow, smooth momentum line that ignores small wiggles.
La idea en pocas palabras
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.
Cómo se calcula
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)Cómo usarlo
- TRIX crossing above zero: the smooth trend has turned up; below zero: down.
- Divergences with the price show slowing trends.
Sacar conclusiones
- Because it is so smooth, TRIX signals are late but rarely flicker.
Ejemplo
On a weekly chart TRIX turns positive after six months below zero: a long-term trend change.
Los precios de los ejemplos son ilustrativos.
Ten cuidado con
- Too slow for short-term trading.
