Using Linear Regression as the TRIX Oscillator Signal Line

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

The note describes a variation on the TRIX oscillator that uses a linear regression value as its signal line. It refers to an earlier argument that this approach may be preferable to using the oscillator’s slope, then presents the variation without attempting to establish that the claim is correct.

The author characterizes the resulting signals as potentially worthwhile and recommends experimenting with parameters. No indicator settings, entry or exit rules, market, timeframe, chart, or performance statistics are supplied. As a result, the note introduces an indicator design choice but does not show that it improves trading outcomes; any use would require explicit rules and independent testing.

Key ideas

  • The variation pairs TRIX with a linear regression value as its signal line.
  • The referenced alternative uses the slope of TRIX.
  • The note does not prove that the regression signal is superior.
  • Parameter experimentation is suggested, but no settings or test results are included.
