Hull Moving Average Metatrader 4 Forex Indicator

    The Hull Moving Average (HMA) forex indicator for Metatrader 4  is quite often used in forex systems and trading strategies.

    Developed by Alan Hull, the Hull Moving Average consists of a fast and more smooth moving average.

    Trading with Hull is very simple to understand:

    As can be seen from the Euro/U.S Dollar chart below, a green HMA signal line represents a bullish trend.

    A purple HMA signal line represents a bearish trend.

    The HMA can be used in isolation or together with other technical indicators or price action.

    For instance, combine with a slow stochastic oscillator for scalping purposes.

    Go long when the HMA is bullish and the slow stochastic oscillator is oversold.

    Go short when the HMA is bearish and the slow stochastic oscillator is overbought.

    Feel free to experiment with the HMA default indicator parameters. You can access them directly from the indicator’s inputs menu.
