TEMA

Summary

Triple Exponential Moving Average: a smoothed price overlay built from three successively-applied EMAs to reduce lag versus a plain EMA. Distinct from EMA3, also called "triple EMA" in the literature.

Formula

EMA1=EMA(t,period); EMA2=EMA(EMA1,period); EMA3=EMA(EMA2,period); TEMA = 3*EMA1 - 3*EMA2 + EMA3

Notes

A period of 1 performs no smoothing: the output is a copy of the input. Allowed since 0.6.5 (issues #48/#59).

Inputs

inReal — Source price/data series

Outputs

outReal — The TEMA line

Parameters

optInTimePeriod — EMA period used for all three passes
