        Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA) is a moving average indicator that reacts to price changes faster than a traditional SMA or EMA. The indicator smooths out the line with multiple EMAs and reduces the lag by placing more weight on recent values. TEMA is calculated in the following way: 3 EMA of price - 3 EMA of the first EMA + EMA of EMA of EMA.

        TEMA = 3 x EMA - 3 x EMA(EMA) + EMA(EMA(EMA))

        where:
        EMA – 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.
