        Article summary

        Triple Exponential Average (TRIX) is a histogram-type oscillator that quantifies the current market momentum. TRIX is calculated as a moving average that has been smoothed three times with an Exponential Moving Average (EMA). TRIX oscillates above or below the zero line where the extreme values can indicate corresponding overbought and oversold areas. Additionally, TRIX crossing above or below the zero line can give buying or selling signals respectively.

        TRIX = (EMA3(i) - EMA3(i-1)) / EMA3(i-1)
        EMA3(i) = EMA [EMA2(i) (EMA1(i))] 

        where:
        EMA – Exponential Moving Average
        i – the current price

        InputDescription
        LengthThe number of bars used to calculate the exponential moving average
        Price
        The following data sources are available for the price:
        • Open. The Open Price of every bar for the specified period.
        • High. The High Price of every bar for the specified period. 
        • Low. The Low Price of every bar for the specified period.
        • Close. The Close Price of every bar for the specified period. 
        • Median. The Median Price of every bar for the specified period - (High + Low) / 2.
        • Typical. The sum of High, Low, and Close prices divided by 3 for the specified period- (High + Low + Close) / 3.
        • OHLC average. The arithmetical mean of High, Low, Open, and Close prices for the specified period - (Open + High + Low + Close) / 4.
        • Volume. The Close Price of every bar + average volume of an asset for the specified period.
