What it does
Moving Average Triple plots three moving averages of increasing length (for example 10, 20 and 50) to define trend with more nuance than a single pair. Full bullish alignment is fast above medium above slow; full bearish is the mirror. The middle average acts as an early-warning line between the trading signal and the trend filter.

How traders use it
- Trade only in the direction of full alignment: all three stacked and sloping the same way is the highest-conviction state.
- Entry trigger: the fast MA crossing the medium MA in the direction of the slow MA's slope (e.g., 10 over 20 while both are above the 50).
- The fast crossing back through the medium while the slow still points with the trend is a pullback, not a reversal; many traders add there.
- A cross of the medium through the slow is the serious trend-change warning that closes remaining positions.
- The braid tightening (all three converging) marks consolidation; expect a directional resolution and avoid signals inside the braid.

Tips
- Its price-scale label can be switched off per-indicator at the bottom of the Style tab if the axis gets crowded.
- Drag the indicator to its own pane from the legend ⋯ menu if it crowds the price chart.
- Double-click any of its lines to jump straight into the settings dialog.
Watch out for
- Three lagging lines mean late entries and late exits; a large part of V-shaped moves happens before alignment.
- In ranges the fast and medium averages weave constantly, so alignment-based systems need a chop filter.
