Simply considering the binary up/down is insufficient. The digits are semi-trinary, but only in theory, and obviously not truly trinary, as you aren't crossing them.

Ignoring which fingers exactly are used in certain ones, and therefore omitting spaces, I got:

1. /
0. \
2. //
0. \\
3. \//
0. \\/
4. \\//
0. \/
5. \///
0. ///
6. \\\/
0. \\\

Many others are redundant, impractical, illogical, impossible, or just four fingers.
