[amibroker] TRIX trend-following indicator best used in conjunction with another market-timi

Hi,

TRIX calculates a triple exponential moving average of the log of the 
price input over the period of time specified by the length input for 
the current bar. The current bar's value is subtracted by the 
previous bar's value. This prevents cycles that are shorter than
the 
period defined by length input from being considered by the indicator.

Two main advantages of TRIX over other trend-following indicators are 
its excellent filtration of market noise and its tendency to be a 
leading rather than a lagging indicator. It filters out market noise 
using the triple exponential average calculation, thus eliminating 
minor short-term cycles that indicate a change in market direction. 
It has the ability to lead a market because it measures the 
difference between each bar's "smoothed" version of the price 
information. When interpreted as a leading indicator, TRIX is best 
used in conjunction with another market-timing indicator--this 
minimizes false indications.

What is the best indicator to be used in conjunction with TRIX?

For system like:

period=Optimize("period",9,3,13,1);            
          

Buy= Trix(period) > 0;
Sell=Trix(period) < 0;

Thanks,
Gedi
