TRIX

A triple-smoothed moving-average ROC — filters out short-term noise. TRIX is the Rate of Change of a triple EMA (EMA of an EMA of an EMA). It filters out short-term noise and emphasizes higher-order trends. Values above zero mean an uptrend, below — a downtrend. The signal line is a 9-period EMA of the TRIX. It is used to detect divergences.

EMA1 = EMA(Close, period)
EMA2 = EMA(EMA1, period)
EMA3 = EMA(EMA2, period)
TRIX = (EMA3 - EMA3_prev) / EMA3_prev * 100
Signal = EMA(TRIX, signal_period)

TriggerDirectionConditionDescription
Level cross up🟢 BuyThe indicator value crossed the specified level from below to above.The TRIX line crosses the configurable Level from below to above. Level is set in the trigger parameters.
Level cross down🔴 SellThe indicator value crossed the specified level from above to below.The TRIX line crosses the Level from above to below. Level is set in the trigger parameters.
Value above level by N🟢 BuyThe indicator value rose above the level by the specified distance.The TRIX line crosses the Level + Distance mark moving up. The distance delays entry until a confirmed breakout of the level.
Value below level by N🔴 SellThe indicator value dropped below the level by the specified distance.The TRIX line crosses the LevelDistance mark moving down.
Value rising🟢 BuyThe indicator value is rising relative to the previous bar.The TRIX line is higher on the current bar than on the previous one — upward momentum.
Value falling🔴 SellThe indicator value is falling relative to the previous bar.The TRIX line is lower on the current bar than on the previous one — downward momentum. Fires on every declining bar.
Slope turns positive🟢 BuyThe indicator’s slope turned positive — an upward reversal.The TRIX line changes its slope from falling to rising — the indicator stopped falling and started rising.
Slope turns negative🔴 SellThe indicator’s slope turned negative — a downward reversal.The TRIX line changes its slope from rising to falling — the indicator stopped rising and started falling.
Signal line cross up🟢 BuyThe main line crossed the signal line from below to above — a buy signal.The TRIX line crosses the signal line from below to above — a bullish crossover.
Signal line cross down🔴 SellThe main line crossed the signal line from above to below — a sell signal.The TRIX line crosses the signal line from above to below — a bearish crossover.
Zero cross up🟢 BuyThe indicator line crossed zero from below to above — a buy signal.The TRIX line crosses the zero level from below to above.
Zero cross down🔴 SellThe indicator line crossed zero from above to below — a sell signal.The TRIX line crosses the zero level from above to below.
Line diverges from signal↕️ BothThe distance between the main line and the signal line increased by the specified amount.The TRIX line moves away from the signal line — momentum is strengthening.
Line converges to signal↕️ BothThe distance between the main line and the signal line decreased by the specified amount.The TRIX line converges to the signal line: the distance shrinks, a crossover may be brewing.
