Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA)

StratCraft indicator page for the TEMA low-lag trend line.

Route: /indicators/tema/

What It Does

TEMA is an even more responsive smoothing line than DEMA. It is designed to reduce lag while still filtering noise.

Formula

TEMA = 3*EMA - 3*EMA(EMA) + EMA(EMA(EMA))

Parameters

  • period - default 30
  • _movav - default EMA

C++23 API

#include <nonabt/indicators/tema.hpp>
auto tema = std::make_unique<nonabt::TEMA>(data().close(), 30, "EMA");

Common Usage

  • Use TEMA for trend following with reduced lag.
  • Works well when you want quicker turn detection than EMA.
  • Often paired with a slow confirmation line to avoid whipsaws.

Practical Pattern

Treat TEMA as the active signal line and use a slower average as the regime confirmation line.
