The TEMA - Triple Moving Averages (100,300,600) indicator provides a streamlined trend-following framework by plotting three distinct simple moving averages to identify long-term market direction and potential Exhaustion or reversal points.

Usage

The Usage section describes how the script can be used, examples should be provided in this section. This tool is primarily utilized to determine the prevailing trend across multiple time horizons. Traders typically look for the alignment of the three averages (Fast, Medium, and Slow) to confirm a trending environment.

  • Trend Identification: When the Fast MA (100) is above the Medium MA (300), and the Medium is above the Slow MA (600), the market is considered to be in a strong bullish structural trend. Conversely, the opposite alignment indicates a bearish structural trend.
  • Crossover Signals: The indicator includes built-in logic for crossovers. A "Golden Cross" occurring between the Fast and Medium averages can signal a shift in momentum, while crossovers between the Medium and Slow averages indicate significant long-term structural changes.
  • Support and Resistance: These high-period moving averages often act as dynamic support or resistance zones during deep market pullbacks.

Details

The script calculates three Simple Moving Averages (SMA) based on the closing price. While many traders use standard 50 or 200-period averages, this tool utilizes 100, 300, and 600 periods to filter out short-term market noise and focus on institutional-grade price cycles. The calculation follows the standard SMA formula, where the sum of the prices over the specified period is divided by that period. The visual output is color-coded to allow for immediate recognition of price proximity to the various trend baselines.

Settings

  • Fast Length: Sets the lookback period for the fastest moving average (default is 100). This tracks intermediate-term momentum.
  • Medium Length: Sets the lookback period for the medium moving average (default is 300). This acts as the primary trend filter.
  • Slow Length: Sets the lookback period for the slowest moving average (default is 600). This represents the long-term structural baseline of the asset.
