VibeFox TRIX — Triple Exponential Average oscillator with entry points
VibeFox TRIX is a real-time Triple Exponential Average indicator for MetaTrader 5. It plots the TRIX main line, a signal line and a histogram in a separate subwindow, marks the moment an entry signal appears right on the price chart, and gathers all the controls into one modern interactive panel. Instead of manually watching crossovers and zero-line bounces, you see the momentum shift and the entry point at the very moment they form.
What TRIX measures
TRIX is the one-period percentage rate of change of a triple-smoothed exponential moving average. Triple smoothing removes noise and short-term market chatter, leaving only moves that have enough momentum to persist. Because it is a rate-of-change rather than a raw EMA, it oscillates around zero: positive values mean the triple EMA is still rising (bullish momentum), negative values mean it is falling (bearish momentum), and the zero line is the neutral border between the two.
It reads at a glance. When the TRIX line is above zero and rising, bullish momentum is accelerating; when it is below zero and falling, bearish momentum dominates. The Signal line — a simple moving average of the TRIX — trails slightly behind and acts as a confirmation line, while the Histogram (TRIX minus Signal) shows the gap between the two, making momentum shifts visible before the crossover itself occurs.
Zero line and signal crossovers
Two classical reference lines define the TRIX landscape. The zero level is drawn as a dashed horizontal line in the subwindow: when TRIX crosses it from below, the triple EMA has reversed from falling to rising; a cross from above signals the opposite. The Signal line provides a faster trigger: crossovers of TRIX with Signal fire while momentum is still building, earlier than the zero-line cross.
Entry points
The main value of VibeFox TRIX is its automatic entry points: the indicator tracks the conditions itself and places a clear arrow marker right on the price chart. Two independent signal types are available, each with its own toggle.
Entry — Signal Cross
The primary signal fires on a crossover of the TRIX main line with the Signal line. When TRIX crosses the Signal line from below upward, a BUY marker is placed; when TRIX crosses downward through Signal, a SELL marker is placed. This crossover fires while momentum is shifting, giving earlier entries than a zero-line cross and staying in line with the direction the histogram already signals.
Zero Cross (TRIX x 0)
The second signal catches the moment the TRIX line crosses the zero level: an upward cross places a BUY marker, a downward cross places a SELL marker. This is a more conservative signal — by the time TRIX crosses zero, the triple EMA has already reversed direction — useful as a trend-confirmation filter or as a standalone slower signal.
Buy and sell markers are colored separately with the Buy Marker and Sell Marker colors, so direction is read instantly, while the Marker Size control scales the arrows from 1 to 5 to fit any chart density.
Full visual control
Every element in the subwindow is tuned to your taste. The colors of TRIX, Signal and Hist are set individually, and each has its own transparency slider — you can make the histogram a pale background and highlight the main TRIX line with a rich color. The common Line Width control sets the thickness of the TRIX and Signal lines in pixels, so the picture stays readable both on a dense intraday chart and on a sparse higher timeframe.
Interactive on-chart panel
The whole interface is a smooth canvas-based panel built for fast mouse control. All parameters are gathered into tidy rows in three columns, and the entry block is set apart with its own gold ENTRY heading, so signal settings do not get mixed up with line settings. The panel header holds the control icons.
Power — turns the drawing of lines and signals on and off without removing the indicator from the chart.
Settings (gear) — opens and closes the settings section.
Updown (arrows) — moves the panel between a separate subwindow and the main chart.
Close (cross) — closes the indicator.
Resizable — drag the bottom-right corner to scale the panel.
Collapsible — a double click on the header collapses the panel into a compact strip.
Mouse wheel — hover over any numeric field and scroll the wheel to change the value without opening the keyboard.
Settings and personalization
The Settings button opens a section where the panel is fitted to your workspace: a light, dark or automatic Theme, an adjustable panel width, header size, row height and font size. Extra touches let you hide the bottom bar via Hide Footer, shrink the header when collapsed with Mini Header, and automatically collapse the panel on a click outside it. Almost every parameter changes live right on the panel — the input fields on the Inputs tab only set the starting values at startup. You can also run several independent copies on one chart by giving each a unique Instance, to watch different TRIX periods or applied prices side by side.
Entry notifications
You do not need to sit and guard the chart waiting for a signal. Each entry can be sent through several notification channels that are enabled independently right on the panel.
Alert — a pop-up message inside the terminal.
Push — a mobile notification to the MetaTrader app on your phone.
Email — a letter sent through the terminal's mail settings.
Telegram — the alert text together with a chart screenshot, sent straight to your Telegram chat.
Enable only the channels you need, and you will be notified the moment a new entry appears on the symbol and timeframe you are working with.
Visual history (HTML report)
Enable the Html channel, and every entry signal is saved to an HTML report together with a screenshot of the chart at the moment it fired. The report is stored in the terminal's Files folder, in the VibeFox_TRIX directory, and opens in any browser — you get a visual log of all the entries the indicator found. A one-click trash button clears the report and its screenshots whenever you want to start over.
Telegram Alerts
Signals can also be delivered straight to your Telegram chat — the alert text together with a screenshot of the chart at the moment of detection. Turn on the Telegram channel and enter your bot token and chat id in the inputs.
Delivery rides on the HTML report: each new signal is written into the report, and the report — opened in a browser — forwards it to your Telegram chat on its own. For this reason, enabling Telegram automatically keeps the Html report on, and the two channels work together.
Built-in multilingual help
A full help page is built into the panel, available in 10 languages, so every control is explained right where you use it.
