TRIX

What does TRIX measure?

A momentum line built on a heavily smoothed price, so it filters out almost all short-term noise. Zero crossings are the classic signal.

How is TRIX calculated?

Run the close through three exponential averages of 15 candles, one after another. Then report how much that triple-smoothed line changed since the previous candle, as a percentage.

Written by reading the engine’s real computation, not a textbook — where the two differ, the page describes what actually runs.

How do I use TRIX in a bot?

In the builder, add an indicator of type trix (parameters: length, default 15). Its value becomes an operand you can compare in any entry or exit rule. The engine grades the whole rule honestly: real fills, no look-ahead, half the history held back.

• True strengthA double-smoothed momentum gauge that keeps direction but sheds noise.
• Ultimate oscillatorA 0-100 momentum meter that looks at three time horizons at once, so it is much harder to fool with a single sharp move than a one-window oscillator.
• WaveTrendA very smooth overbought/oversold oscillator.
• Williams %RA 0 to −100 meter for where the close sits in the recent range.
