Experienced traders are aware that the most effective trading indicators are those capable of minimizing lag, filtering out unnecessary noise, and promptly adapting to sustained market fluctuations. The Hull Moving Average (HMA) appears to meet these criteria. This automated trading system uses two HMA indicators, one with a fast period and one with a slow period to identify when they cross each other, when this happens a buy or sell trade is opened with a configurable lot size and a stop loss and take profit in pips.
In the realm of financial analysis, employing a longer time frame for the Hull Moving Average can serve as a valuable tool for trend identification and observing the upward movement of the indicator, it shows the trend is on an upward trajectory. This situation implies that it might be more advantageous to consider entering long positions. Also, when the indicator shows a downward trajectory, it shows that the prevailing trend is also declining. In such instances, it may be worth entering short trades.
