Trix

The TRIX Indicator was developed in the early 1980s by Jack Hutson who was an editor for the Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine. Its name is comprised of its calculation: Triple Exponential.
The trix indicator is a tripple-smoothed price weighted against the previous tripple-smoothed price: TrMA = (EMA(EMA(EMA(price, N), N), N) TRIX(N)i = (TrMAi - TrMAi - 1) / TrMAi - 1). SIGNAL(N, S) = SMA(TRIX(N), S)
HISTOGRAM = TRIX - SIGNAL
The formula is from Appel, Gerald: Winning Stock Market Systems. Signalert Corp., Great Neck, N.Y. 1974.
The indicator was revised and updated The implementation lets you choose methods individually for each moving average. Please note that the methods marked using (*) requires the corresponding indicators to be downloaded and installed.
The common trading rule is: Buy when TRIX is below zero and crosses its Signal Line from below. Sell when TRIX is above zero and crosses its Signal Line from above.

Nikolay
I am a Metatrader user looking to change over to Marketscope charts.
I was about to ask about Trix and then it appeared on May13th, thank you!
I have an MT4 version that changes color (with slope /direction or turning points) can this feature be added to your Trix?
Another indicator I use daily is an MA ( Exp, Simple or Linear weighted) which changes color according to SLOPE at a value I can pre-define. Is this possible to implement in Marketscope?
If required I will supply more details of the above indicators.

this is a very interesting indicator. can you explain how to use the histogram display that was just added?
Re: Trix

The histogram is calculated similarly to its MACD Kontrapart. Can be used in the same way. It is designed as early detection tool for Trix/Sigal line crossover. Use the divergence.

hi i have one last request can you code 2 trix strategies
- when trix crosses signal line upwards and both are above the centre or zero line it opens a long position 2.when trix crosses signal line downwards and both are below the centre or zero line it opens a short position sorry to disturb you again and again but i really need it thanks by arindam

Is this trix indi the same as the Triple Smooth Exponential oscillator that is posted in separate thread? Same file name but looks to be bigger file. Both files states it was developed based on Jack K. Hutson. If they are different, I would like to know what the difference is.
