Here is a video on plotting the TRIX:

How to plot TRIX - triple exponential average

You can visually sort by it once you plot it:

Create PCFs and EasyScans to find moving average crossovers

Sort by indicator or price movement using Visual Change sorts

Sort by Visual Value to find new highs and lows in price and indicators

elson2,
You did not specify a Period, so here is a Personal Criteria Formula for a 3-Period TRIX approximation:

100*(125084*C +187625*C1 +187625*C2 +156354*C3 +117266*C4 +82086*C5 +54724*C6 +35180*C7 +21987*C8 +13437*C9 +8062*C10 +4764*C11 +2779*C12 +1603*C13 +916*C14 +508*C15) /(125084*C1 +187625*C2 +187625*C3 +156354*C4 +117266*C5 +82086*C6 +54724*C7 +35180*C8 +21987*C9 +13437*C10 +8062*C11 +4764*C12 +2779*C13 +1603*C14 +916*C15 +508*C16)-100

It is a 1-Period % Rate of Change of a 3-Period EMA of a 3-Period EMA of a 3-Period EMA of Price. If you have a different Period in mind, I'll take a look and write something up if it is short enough to be practical.

Bruce,

The PCF you supplied:

100*(125084*C +187625*C1 +187625*C2 +156354*C3 +117266*C4 +82086*C5 +54724*C6 +35180*C7 +21987*C8 +13437*C9 +8062*C10 +4764*C11 +2779*C12 +1603*C13 +916*C14 +508*C15) /(125084*C1 +187625*C2 +187625*C3 +156354*C4 +117266*C5 +82086*C6 +54724*C7 +35180*C8 +21987*C9 +13437*C10 +8062*C11 +4764*C12 +2779*C13 +1603*C14 +916*C15 +508*C16)-100

is just fine.

Please consider the PCF:

100*((1*2*C0+(2/4)*(2*3*C1+(2/4)*(3*4*C2+(2/4)
*(4*5*C3+(2/4)*(5*6*C4+(2/4)*(6*7*C5+(2/4)
*(7*8*C6+(2/4)*(8*9*C7+(2/4)*(9*10*C8+(2/4)
*(10*11*C9+(2/4)*(11*12*C10+(2/4)*(12*13*C11+(2/4)
*(13*14*C12+(2/4)*(14*15*C13+(2/4)*(15*16*C14+(2/4)
*(16*17*C15))))))))))))))))
/(1*2*C1+(2/4)*(2*3*C2+(2/4)*(3*4*C3+(2/4)
*(4*5*C4+(2/4)*(5*6*C5+(2/4)*(6*7*C6+(2/4)
*(7*8*C7+(2/4)*(8*9*C8+(2/4)*(9*10*C9+(2/4)
*(10*11*C10+(2/4)*(11*12*C11+(2/4)*(12*13*C12+(2/4)
*(13*14*C13+(2/4)*(14*15*C14+(2/4)*(15*16*C15+(2/4)
*(16*17*C16))))))))))))))))-1)

The two return the same values. The factor (2/4) is present because (P-1)/(P+1) = 2/4 when the period P = 3.

The first has fewer characters than the second. The user can use the pattern shown in the second to increase the number of terms and change the period. The reason I am not saying how many terms should be used is because I have not done the necessary derivation.

Your comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jim Murphy

bustermu,
I like your Personal Criteria Formula better. I've altered some of my spreadsheets to use nested terms instead of pre-calculating the coefficients, but haven't had time to alter them all (but plan to do so). Sometimes it is just easier and quicker to use what is already available than rewrite the spreadsheet to generate a more optimized version of the formula before posting.

Bruce,

Thanks for your comments. As always, they are helpful.

I have posted the nested-parentheses form for cascaded EMA's of the same period at:

Cascades of Moving Averages

Hopefully, there are no errors and the results will help you in your endeavor. As you see from my comments there, more analysis remains.

Thanks,
Jim Murphy

bustermu,
I've read through the new information. It is always nice to have quality reference material available when writing formulas. I didn't see any errors when I read through it, but if there are, we can always make the appropriate edits.
