Using TEMA Bands to Flag Potential Reversals

Summary

The document describes a Triple Exponential Moving Average band indicator as an alternative to Bollinger Bands. It places a TEMA-based center line closer to price movement and describes its upper and lower boundaries as evenly positioned around that line. It presents unusually wide separation between the center and the bands as a possible reversal signal.

The indicator uses an EMA period, a shift, and a deviation setting that determines the distance from TEMA to the outer bands. The page offers a brief conceptual description rather than a formula, chart interpretation, or trading rules for entering and exiting positions. It provides no performance evidence, markets, timeframes, or parameter values, so the reversal idea should be treated as a hypothesis rather than a demonstrated result.

Key ideas

  • The indicator builds upper and lower bands around a Triple Exponential Moving Average center line.
  • Its center line is described as tracking price more closely than the middle line of a Bollinger Band.
  • The upper and lower boundaries are intended to sit evenly around the center line.
  • A large distance between the center and the bands is presented as a possible reversal signal.
  • The listed inputs are EMA period, shift, and deviation.
