Hull Moving average

Hello Guys, Need help here.. Anyone have the hull moving average for MT4? Hull moving average just like in regular indicator in VTtrader. Please share it with me. Best Regards, Dnandz

If you post the formula I might be able to write the indicator

I don't know formulating the indicator.. I think it will be "just" the same like Nonlag MA custom indicator for MT4, the difference only, in huill moving average indicator for VTtrader, the moving average can be adjusted as weighted, simple, triangle, etc, moving average.

thanks for the help.

I'm sure you will find results if you use the search function on FF or TSD.

It's already on here... as said, use the search function.

Dnandz, if you're referring to this, then hopefully the attached indicator is the one you're looking for. The formula in the program code looks like it's the same.

This indicator looking back, seems like the end all and be all of all indicators, I'm amazed looking to the left, but forward testing does it not repaint?

I posted this more than 4 years ago. I've never used the indicator myself, hence I don't know if it repaints.

You could perhaps try the attached indicator, as a basis for comparison. It plots 20 different types of MAs. To get the Hull MA, set MA_Method to 8. Set Color_Mode to 1 to get different colors for rising and falling. The operational notes are as follows:

// List of MAs:
// MA_Method= 0: SMA - Simple Moving Average
// MA_Method= 1: EMA - Exponential Moving Average
// MA_Method= 2: Wilder - Wilder Exponential Moving Average
// MA_Method= 3: LWMA - Linear Weighted Moving Average
// MA_Method= 4: SineWMA - Sine Weighted Moving Average
// MA_Method= 5: TriMA - Triangular Moving Average
// MA_Method= 6: LSMA - Least Square Moving Average (or EPMA, Linear Regression Line)
// MA_Method= 7: SMMA - Smoothed Moving Average
// MA_Method= 8: HMA - Hull Moving Average by Alan Hull
// MA_Method= 9: ZeroLagEMA - Zero-Lag Exponential Moving Average
// MA_Method=10: DEMA - Double Exponential Moving Average by Patrick Mulloy
// MA_Method=11: T3 - T3 by T.Tillson
// MA_Method=12: ITrend - Instantaneous Trendline by J.Ehlers
// MA_Method=13: Median - Moving Median
// MA_Method=14: GeoMean - Geometric Mean
// MA_Method=15: REMA - Regularized EMA by Chris Satchwell
// MA_Method=16: ILRS - Integral of Linear Regression Slope
// MA_Method=17: IE/2 - Combination of LSMA and ILRS
// MA_Method=18: TriMAgen - Triangular Moving Average generalized by J.Ehlers
// MA_Method=19: VWMA - Volume Weighted Moving Average

// List of Prices:
// Price = 0 - Close
// Price = 1 - Open
// Price = 2 - High
// Price = 3 - Low
// Price = 4 - Median Price = (High+Low)/2
// Price = 5 - Typical Price = (High+Low+Close)/3
// Price = 6 - Weighted Close = (High+Low+Close*2)/4
// Price = 7 - Heiken Ashi Close
// Price = 8 - Heiken Ashi Open
// Price = 9 - Heiken Ashi High
// Price =10 - Heiken Ashi Low

[EDIT] Or Google "hull moving average mt4", and find threads like this one, which contains many HMAs for you to try.

You can use the Screenshot EA (it's an EA, not an indicator) to see whether an indy is repainting. See here for info on running EAs.

To install:
--- Download the .mq4 and .ex4 files to your ..../experts folder.
--- Download the .mqh files to your ..../experts/include folder.

The EA will output a screenshot every X minutes, depending on the TF you choose (e.g. if you set RefreshPeriod to H1, every 60 minutes), to the folder/filename you specify in FilePrefix. The full filename created is:
....../(MT4)/experts/files/[Folder/FilePrefix]–[Symbol],[Timeframe],[Timestamp Y-M-D H-M-S].JPG

If you want to test for repainting, then obviously attach the EA to a M1 chart, and set RefreshPeriod to M1, to have it process the greatest number of candles in the shortest amount of time. Then after maybe 15-30 minutes, you can flip through the screenshots created, to see if any indys on the chart are repainting.

The other parameters are explained by MQL4's on-line help:

bool WindowScreenShot( string filename, int size_x, int size_y, int start_bar=-1, int chart_scale=-1, int chart_mode=-1)

Saves current chart screen shot as a GIF file. Returns FALSE if it fails. To get the error code, one has to use the GetLastError() function.
The screen shot is saved in the terminal_direxpertsfiles (terminal_dirtesterfiles in case of testing) directory or its subdirectories.

Parameters:
filename - Screen shot file name.
size_x - Screen shot width in pixels.
size_y - Screen shot height in pixels.
start_bar - Index of the first visible bar in the screen shot. If 0 value is set, the current first visible bar will be shot. If no value or negative value has been set, the end-of-chart screen shot will be produced, indent being taken into consideration.
chart_scale - Horizontal chart scale for screen shot. Can be in the range from 0 to 5. If no value or negative value has been set, the current chart scale will be used.
chart_mode - Chart displaying mode. It can take the following values: CHART_BAR (0 is a sequence of bars), CHART_CANDLE (1 is a sequence of candlesticks), CHART_LINE (2 is a close prices line). If no value or negative value has been set, the chart will be shown in its current mode.

Thanks Hanover EXCELLENT reply!

I never understood the issue with repainting-----just run any old ea in strat test visual mode with the indicator in question attached and you will see immediately.

SO disappointed in this "magic moving average"it repainted on me twice under one hour in real time.

You can try checking these 2 indicators out
They are both working on Hull Moving Averages

This is my favorite moving average indicator MA in Colour V2

Why don't you use some of the new - correctly coded - versions of indicators that will not repaint?
The old multi color line indicators (like the TSR and MA in Colour) will repaint

mladen could you please explain which are the corrected indicators to which you are referring?

Anything newer than 10 years as basis code
See the "Copyright 2006" in some of the code still used - people we have (or at least I hope) changed a lot since then

There are a lot of versions and variations of "HMA" (Hull Moving Average) indicator coded by Mladen.
for example few types of hull
HMA
HMA color
Hull Variation - (classic,EMA,Envelop,Averages,slope)
Hull Averages - (x2)
HMA sr lines
HMA zerolag - (CD)
Hull Moving Average
Hull Parabolic
Hull Ribbon
and a lot more types and variations,and every type contain more extended styles
any way posting one of Mladen's Averages version here "averages - mtf - alerts 9.2"which consist of 39 types MAs (Moving Averages) Hull included too
Possible features & options
33 prices
3 state filter
double smoothed
adaptive
7 state display types
alerts
bands
keltner channels
arrows
shift
2 state interpolated mtf
custom TF
and a lot more,experimenting advised

Thank you both for your replies.

In my experience, 'zero lag' series of moving averages work better than Hull MA. Of course, it may depend on your strategy though.
