Hull Moving Average

Trend, HMA

Hull Moving Average on a BTC/USDT 4h chart on GG Charts
What it shows

A moving average built to follow price closely without much of the usual delay, so its curve is smooth and turns early.

How it is built

It takes a weighted average of half the length, subtracts a weighted average of the full length, and smooths the result with a weighted average over the square root of the length.

Default: Length 9, source close.

How traders read it
  • The slope shows direction: rising is up, falling is down.
  • A change of slope is read as an early sign of a turn.
  • Fast lines turn early and can whip in a range.
History
