T3

The indicator was developed by Tim Tillson in 1998.

The purpose of developing a new type of moving average is to improve noise filtration and reduce lagging - a disadvantage which is common to most moving averages. Multiple exponential smoothing of the price series is used for calculating. If the price crosses the rising T3 line from below, it is a buy signal; if the falling line is crossed from above, it is a sell signal. The indicator is based on a six-fold calculation of the exponential moving average.
