Definitions
In plain terms
The signed combination seeks lower lag while preserving a smoothed output.
Technical
The implementation freezes alpha, all three seeds, stage readiness, missing values, precision, and first valid output.
Scope
TEMA is not a simple average of three EMAs and is not the TRIX oscillator.
Formula
TEMA = 3*E1 - 3*E2 + E3TEMA_t=3E_{1,t}-3E_{2,t}+E_{3,t}| Symbol | Meaning | Unit |
|---|---|---|
E1 | EMA of input | input unit |
E2 | EMA of E1 | input unit |
E3 | EMA of E2 | input unit |
Output unit: input unit
Examples
- A governed lesson uses Triple Exponential Moving Average only with declared inputs, timing, parameters, and edge-case behavior.
Common misconceptions
- TEMA is not a simple average of three EMAs and is not the TRIX oscillator.
Concept relationships
Prerequisites
Where this concept is used
Evidence and governance
- Triple Exponential Moving Average TA-Lib · first party technical publication
Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition, formula
Limits: The documentation does not make TEMA equivalent to the unrelated TRIX oscillator or guarantee reduced error.
