TRIX trading indicator

TRIX (trix)
TRIX indicator is a technical analysis indicator that uses a triple exponential smoothing technique to identify trend direction in the market. The TRIX indicator is used as a momentum oscillator.

Formula:

TRIX uses a sophisticated method called ‘triple exponential smoothing’ to calculate its value. This method makes TRIX more sensitive to recent price changes and eliminates even strong noise fluctuations. The result of this smoothing is then divided by another number called the 'exponential moving average'(EMA). This helps you see how much the current value of the TRIX differs from its historical average value.

Key Takeaways:

1. TRIX is widely used to identify the strength of a trend.
2. TRIX provides signals for potential trend reversals.
3. TRIX can be used in combination with other indicators to confirm analysis.

Counterarguments:

1. TRIX may generate false signals in choppy markets or frequent sideways movements.
2. TRIX is prone to lagging signals, but usually has a small delay compared to current market changes.
3. TRIX may have limited use in identifying overbought and oversold conditions.
