The TRIX MACD Metatrader 4 is a powerful MACD type technical tool that reveals the relationship between two moving averages of a forex pair’s price.
The indicator is able to provide an extra layer of trend confirmation mechanism.
The TRIX MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-period EMA from the 12-period EMA.
The indicator also adds the Triple Exponential Averages (TRIX) to increase the smoothness of price.
Key Takeaways
- Just to get a better view of how the market is fairing, more attention should be paid to the lines of the TRIX MACD, which comprises of a slow- and fast-moving averages. The breakout of these lines above or below the 0.00 signal level, triggers a buy/sell alert.

- The crossover of the lines of the TRIX MACD indicator can be taken as probable signals for traders to either go long or short on the currency pair of interest.
