Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA)

Overview:

Developed by Patrick Mulloy and introduced in the January 1994 issue of Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine, this trend indicator is an acronym standing for “Triple Exponential Moving Average”. TEMA was designed to lessen the lag of a regular exponential moving average. It is a composite of a single exponential MA, a double exponential MA, and a triple exponential MA that produces less lag than any of its three components individually; it is NOT a moving average of a moving average of a moving average.

Interpretation:

The TEMA can be used in place of traditional moving averages. (see the "Moving Average" indicator for additional details)
