Triple Exponential Smoothed Moving Average (TRIX)

 

Based on a triple-smoothed moving average of Closing price, the indicator eliminates cycles shorter than the selected indicator period. Triple smoothing reduces volatility and minimizes the chance of false signals shaking you out of a trend too early

TRIX was developed by Jack Huton, publisher of (Technical Analysis of) Stocks and Commodities magazine.

Formula:

Perform the exponential moving average on the close.  Then calculate the percent move between consecutive bars

Where:

Parameters:

                       Three parameters are used : BarsBack, Period and Signal.  Period and Signal.  BarsBack should be configured to be two times the period.  This is necessary for Stormtracker’s internal calculations and configurations. For example if you configure a value of 14 for the period, put a value of 28 in BarsBack. 

Arguments:

None

Output Indicators:

The output indicators are out and signal.  The signal indicator is a moving average(using the signal input parameter) of the Trix “out” parameter.  For example if you specify a signal input parameter of 3, it will take a 3 period moving average of the TRIX “out” indicator.

 

Example:

Study Name Expanded in a 3 minute timeframe:

I3_TRIX(28,14,3)_I3

This study calculates a TRIX study with a period of 14 and a signal of 3.  The first parameter,28, is set to 2 X the period value of 14

The output indicators names are appended to the studyname, that is if the studyname is sn1 then the outputindicator is

sn1::out

sn1::signalt
