Indicators like TRIX and MACD are not perfect, but they do help in the timing of momentum moves in good stocks. TRIX oscillates around a zero (0.00) line. When it is used as an oscillator, a positive value indicates an overbought stock while a negative value below the 0.00 line indicates an oversold stock. TRIX is designed for trading trends. Trix uses a triple-smoothed moving average. This indicator will keep you in trends shorter or equal to the window period. Here are some examples. The Bullish signal is "best" indicated when the lines cross up and is below the 0.00 line. Please click on the picture for a better view:
