Trend direction is taken from the green 52-week Hull Moving Average. Trade signals are taken from the
faster 13-week Hull Moving Average but only when the 52-week MA slopes in the same direction.

Green = go Long
Orange = go Short
Gray = Exit trade

Hull Moving Average - Setup

Hull uses a 16-week moving average in his examples. I would have thought that 13 weeks (quarter of a
year) would make more sense and be more defensible against accusations of curve-fitting
(retrospectively fitting an indicator to the data).

Select Indicators and Moving Averages in the left column of the Indicator Panel. Select Hull from the
drop-down box of moving average types.

Hull Moving Average Formula

Alan Hull uses three Weighted Moving Averages (WMA) in his formula:

https://www.incrediblecharts.com/indicators/hull-moving-average.php 4/5
9/21/2018 Incredible Charts: Hull Moving Average
Calculate the WMA for the Period (e.g. 13 Weeks).

Divide the Period by 2 and use the Integer value to calculate a second WMA.

Multiply the second WMA by 2 then subtract the first WMA.

Calculate the Square Root of the Period and take the Integer value.

Use the resulting Integer value to calculate a third WMA of the result from the first two WMAs.

Notation

Here is more mathematical notation for n periods:

WMA(Integer(SQRT(n)),WMA(2*Integer(n/2),data) - WMA(n,data))
