TRIX Zero-Line Momentum
TRIX is the one-bar rate of change of a triple-smoothed EMA, so it ignores most of the bar-to-bar noise and only turns when momentum really changes. A long opens when TRIX crosses above zero and its own signal line (a short on the mirror). The trade exits once TRIX is back below both zero and its signal line (optionally by a margin), or on an ATR trailing stop that only moves in the trade's favour
