Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA)

Definition§

The Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA) is a sophisticated trading indicator designed to smooth price fluctuations. By using multiple Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), TEMA offers a faster response to price changes while reducing lag. In essence, it helps you quickly spot trends without getting bogged down in the noise!

Calculation of TEMA§

The formula for TEMA involves multiple exponential moving averages and can be expressed as:

$$\text{TEMA} = 3 \cdot \text{EMA}_1 - 3 \cdot \text{EMA}_2 + \text{EMA}_3$$

Where:

• $\text{EMA}_1$ is the EMA of the price series.
• $\text{EMA}_2$ is the EMA of $\text{EMA}_1$.
• $\text{EMA}_3$ is the EMA of $\text{EMA}_2$.

Example§

1. Begin by calculating the first EMA based on your desired time period.
2. Calculate the second EMA using the first EMA’s data.
3. Calculate the third EMA using the second EMA’s data.
4. Substitute these values into the TEMA formula to get your smoothed result!

Humorous Quotes & Fun Facts§

• “Investing in TEMA is like taking a well-cooked burger over a fast-food one; you see the results and enjoy the smoothness with every bite!” 🍔
• Did You Know? The TEMA was developed to be less “sticky” than an EMA, just like a good dancer who knows when to let the lead go!
