Functions

def trima(df, price, trima, n)

The Triangular Moving Average (TRIMA) is similar to other moving averages in that it shows the average (or mean) price over a specified number of data points (usually a number of price bars). However, the triangular moving average differs in that it is double smoothed—which also means averaged twice.

Parameters

df : pd.DataFrame: DataFrame which contain the asset price.
price : string: the column name of the price of the asset.
trima() : string: the column name for the n-day double exponential moving average results.
n : int: the total number of periods.

Returns

df : pd.DataFrame: Dataframe with triangular moving average of the asset calculated.
