TEMA and MACD Crossovers for Directional Momentum Signals

Article TradingView scripts

Summary

This strategy combines a Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA) with a MACD-style filter to generate long and short signals. TEMA is calculated from three successive exponential averages of closing prices. The filter subtracts a slower EMA from a faster EMA, then compares that value with a simple moving average signal line. A bullish crossover is accepted only when TEMA is rising; a bearish crossunder requires TEMA to be falling. Signals close the opposing position and open a position in the new direction.

The script sets parameter values and includes alert calls, but the document does not provide verifiable backtest evidence. Its accompanying description claims DOGE/USDT optimization and reports a result, but gives no underlying test methodology, data range, or independent validation. The strategy has no explicit stop-loss or profit-target logic in the shown source. Its momentum filters may still produce whipsaws, and performance will depend on market, timeframe, fees, and execution assumptions.

Key ideas

  • A TEMA line is constructed from three successive exponential moving averages.
  • The MACD-style filter uses an EMA difference and a simple moving average signal line.
  • Long signals require a bullish filter crossover and a rising TEMA; short signals require the reverse.
  • The script reverses positions on opposing signals and can emit alerts.
  • The stated optimization and performance claims lack test methodology and independent validation.
