Trix is calculated with a given N-day period as follows: Smooth prices (often closing prices) using an N-day exponential moving average (EMA). Smooth that series using another N-day EMA. Smooth a third time, using a further N-day EMA. Calculate the percentage difference between today's and yesterday's value in that final smoothed series.
