TRIX Signal-Line Crossovers for Directional Trading Signals
Summary
The document describes a TRIX indicator display that adds a signal line and marks their intersections with directional arrows. It defines an upward signal when the signal line moves from below the main TRIX line on the prior bar to above it on the current bar. A downward signal is defined by the opposite change in relative position. In practice, these rules identify crossovers rather than explaining an independent entry, exit, or position-sizing system.
The material offers only the crossover definition and no parameter settings, instrument, chart interval, backtest, or performance evidence. It does not specify how to handle repeated signals, delayed confirmation, or whipsaws in sideways markets. Traders would need to select calculation settings and test the signals with realistic execution assumptions before drawing conclusions about their usefulness.
Key ideas
- The indicator plots a TRIX main line alongside a signal line.
- An upward arrow marks a crossover from the signal line below TRIX to above it.
- A downward arrow marks the reverse crossover.
- The document defines indicator signals but gives no trading rules or performance evidence.
