TRIX displays the percentage rate of change of a triple-smoothed EMA, filtering out insignificant price movements and highlighting only the most meaningful momentum shifts. It is valued by swing traders in stocks and forex who want fewer but higher-quality signals. Browse our indicator guide library to pair TRIX with trend-following tools for a systematic approach.
TRIX first computes a triple EMA of closing prices over N periods, then calculates the 1-period percentage change of that triple EMA. A signal line (SMA of TRIX) is commonly overlaid for crossover signals. Because of the triple smoothing, TRIX effectively eliminates short-term noise.
KST (Know Sure Thing) is a smoothed rate-of-change oscillator that combines four different ROC timeframes into a single weighted line, revealing broad momentum shifts across multiple cycles. It was designed by Martin Pring for identifying major trend changes in <a href="/market/stocks" class="text-primary hover:underline">stocks</a> and is equally useful in <a href="/market/crypto" class="text-primary hover:underline">crypto</a> markets. Compare it with the <a href="/academy/indicators/rate-of-change" class="text-primary hover:underline">ROC</a> and other momentum tools in our <a href="/academy/indicators" class="text-primary hover:underline">indicator guide library</a>.
The Ultimate Oscillator blends buying pressure across three timeframes — short (7), medium (14), and long (28) — into a single reading, reducing the false signals that plague single-period oscillators.

The Stochastic Oscillator compares a security's closing price to its price range over a given period, making it excellent for identifying overbought/oversold conditions and divergences in bounded ranges. It works especially well alongside the <a href="/academy/indicators/rsi" class="text-primary hover:underline">RSI</a> for double confirmation of reversal zones in <a href="/market/forex" class="text-primary hover:underline">forex</a> and <a href="/market/stocks" class="text-primary hover:underline">stock</a> markets. For best results, use Stochastic signals only in the direction of the larger trend identified by tools in our <a href="/academy/indicators" class="text-primary hover:underline">indicator guide library</a>. Build it into a complete system by reviewing our <a href="/strategies" class="text-primary hover:underline">trading strategies</a> section.
The Chande Momentum Oscillator calculates momentum using both up-day and down-day sums, oscillating between +100 and −100 to provide a symmetrical view of buying and selling pressure.
