TRIX (TASC January 2004)

Jongseon Kim provides us with a method of trading using several indicators called TRIX and the TRIX Signal. The TRIX indicator can easily be created in the NeuroShell Trader by combining a few simple indicators from the Trader’s library of over 800 indicators. Once you’ve created the TRIX indicator, you can apply an exponential moving average to create the TRIX Signal. We’ve created these indicators as custom indicators that you may download from the NeuroShell Trader free technical support website

To insert the TRIX indicators (after downloading them):

  • Select ‘New Indicator …’ from the ‘Insert’ menu.
  • Select the Custom Indicators category and select Next button.
  • Select the TRIX and TRIX Signal indicators and select Next button.
  • Select any of the parameters that you wish to modify.
  • Press the Set Parameter button and set the parameter to the desired value.
