Triple EMA
An EMA variant engineered to cut lag, so it tracks fast trends more closely than a plain average.
How to read it
TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average) is a fast trend line that combines EMAs to cancel most of the lag a normal MA carries. It hugs price closely and turns quickly, so it reflects the current trend with far less delay — at the cost of a little more noise.
Trading signals
Use it where you want a trend line without the lag: price crossing the TEMA, or a fast-TEMA / slow-MA cross, signals sooner than a plain moving average. Its speed suits shorter timeframes; on choppy markets pair it with a filter so the quick turns don't whipsaw you.
Parameters
TEMA Period sets the base EMA length. Because the triple construction removes lag, a TEMA of a given period feels much faster than an SMA or EMA of the same period — so you can run it longer for the same responsiveness.
