Method: TechnicalAnalysis::Trix.calculate

Defined in:
lib/technical_analysis/indicators/trix.rb

.calculate(data, period: 15, price_key: :value) ⇒ Array<TrixValue>

Calculates the triple exponential average (Trix) for the data over the given period en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trix_(technical_analysis)

Parameters:

  • data (Array) —

    Array of hashes with keys (:date_time, :value)

  • period (Integer) (defaults to: 15) —

    The given period to calculate the EMA for Trix

  • price_key (Symbol) (defaults to: :value) —

    The hash key for the price data. Default :value

Returns:

  • (Array<TrixValue>) —

    An array of TrixValue instances
