TRIX INDICATOR<\/strong>
\nPrice times volume<\/p>\n

The Trix Indicator (TI) shows the slope of a triple-smoothed exponential moving average. The term Trix is actually a shortcut of \u201ctriple exponential\u201d and was developed by Jack Hutson in the 1980s.
\nGiven an n-day period, trix is calculated this way:
\n\u2022 Smooth closing prices using an N-day exponential moving average (EMA);
\n\u2022 Smooth series using another N-day EMA;
\n\u2022 Smooth a third time, using a further N-day EMA; and
\n\u2022 Calculate the percentage difference between today\u2019s and yesterday\u2019s value in that final smoothed series.<\/p>\n

The triple EMA is trend-following since it is a smoothing of price data. Trix shows the slope of that line. It is positive for a steady uptrend, negative for a downtrend, and crossing through zero is a trend-change. The triple EMA is different from a simple EMA. In the simple EMA, the latest days dominate the assignment of weights. Applying the smoothing thrice results in weightings that are spread more broadly. The weights for the latest days are also smaller compared to the earlier days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
