Ichimoku Kinko Hyo + HULL-MA_X + MacDThe Ichimoku Kinko Hyo system includes five kinds of signal, of which this strategy uses the most recent of ones i.e. Tenkan Sen / Kijun Sen Cross and price crosses the Kijun Sen. As the Chikou Span, Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B are shifted into the past/future, the trigger signals will be only be used for visual confirmation and not part of the strategy.
The Tenkan Sen, also known as the Turning or Conversion line, is a moving average of the highest high and lowest low over the last 9 periods in this strategy.
The Kijun Sen, also known as the Standard or Base line, is a moving average of the highest high and lowest low over the last 24 periods in this strategy.
The Chikou Span, also known as the Lagging line, is the closing price plotted 24 periods behind in this strategy.
The Senkou Span A, also known as the 1st leading line, is a moving average of the Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen and is plotted 24 periods ahead in this strategy.
The Senkou Span B, also known as the 2nd leading line, is a moving average of the highest high and lowest low over the last 51 trading days is plotted 24 periods ahead in this strategy.
Moving average convergence divergence (MaCD) is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of prices. The MaCD is calculated in this strategy by subtracting the 24-day exponential moving average (EMA) from the 12-day EMA. A nine-day EMA of the MACD, called the "signal line", aMaCD in this case, is then plotted on top of the MaCD. In this strategy, MaCD/ aMaCD Cross is functioning as a trigger for buy and sell signals.
As with most technical analysis methods, Ichimoku is likely to produce frequent conflicting signals in non-trending markets, So in addition to Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, the Hull MA is popular amongst some day traders, as the indicator which in combination with MaCD attempts to give an accurate signal by eliminating lags and improving the smoothness of the line.
Alan Hull, developed this moving average indicator and hence it’s called the Hull MA.
Now, let’s dissect how the Hull moving average is calculated.
The Hull MA involves the weighted moving average (WMA) in its calculation.
First, calculate the WMA with period (n / 2) and multiply this by 2. Remember ‘n’ is the time period configurable based on the trader’s requirement. The default setting is 12 periods in this strategy, fast Hull MA crossing slow Hull MA will generate a circle on charts.
Second, calculate the WMA for period “n” and subtract if from the first step. Thirdly, calculate the weighted moving average with period sqrt (n) using the data from the second step. You can take a look at the below formula:
Hull MA= WMA (2*WMA (n/2) − WMA (n)), sqrt (n))
The Hull MA Cross in combination with Tenkan Sen / Kijun Sen Cross and MaCD tries to give an accurate signal by eliminating lags and improve the smoothness of price activity. Please note that price trends can and do change often, so your readings of the charts and this trading system should be probabilistic, rather than predictive.
Bollinger Bands With User Selectable MABollinger Bands with user selection options to calculate the moving average basis and bands from a variety of different moving averages.
The user selects their choice of moving average, and the bands automatically adjust. The user may select a MA that reacts faster to volatility or slower/smoother.
Added additional options to color the bands or basis based on the current trend and alternate candle colors for band touches. Options:
REACT SLOW/SMOOTH TO VOLATILITY
simple moving average (Regular Bollinger Bands)
REACT SMOOTH TO VOLATILITY
exponential moving average (EMA Bollinger Bands)
weighted moving average (Weighted MA Bollinger Bands)
exponential hull moving average (Hull Bollinger Bands with better smoothing)
HIGHLY ADJUSTABLE TO VOLATILITY
Arnaud Legoux Moving average (ALMA Bollinger Bands)
Note: 0.85 ALMA default for more smoothing, set offset=1 to turn off smoothing
REACT HARSH TO VOLATILITY
least squares moving average (Least Squares Bollinger Bands)
REACT VERY FAST TO VOLATILITY
hull moving average (Hull Bollinger Bands or Hullinger Bands)
VALUE ADDED: This script is unique in that no other Bollinger Bands indicator offers a user selection for moving average, and some of the options do not exist yet as Bollinger Bands indicators.
Definitions:
Bollinger Bands: A Bollinger Band® is a technical analysis tool defined by a set of trendlines plotted two standard deviations (positively and negatively) away from a simple moving average (SMA) of a security's price, but which can be adjusted to user preferences.
Exponential Bollinger Bands: The most important characteristics of the Exponential Bollinger Bands indicator are: When the market is flat, the bands will stay much closer to prices. When the volatility is high, the bands move away from prices faster.
Hull Bollinger Bands: Bollinger Bands calculated by Hull moving average, rather than simple moving average or ema. The Hull Moving Average (HMA), developed by Alan Hull, is an extremely fast and smooth moving average. In fact, the HMA almost eliminates lag altogether and manages to improve smoothing at the same time.
Exponential Hull Bollinger Bands: Bollinger Bands calculated by Exponential Hull moving average, rather than simple moving average or ema. The Exponential Hull Moving Average is similar to the standard Hull MA, but with superior smoothing. The standard Hull Moving Average is derived from the weighted moving average (WMA). As other moving average built from weighted moving averages it has a tendency to exaggerate price movement.
Weighted Moving Average Bollinger Bands: A Weighted Moving Average (WMA) is similar to the simple moving average (SMA), except the WMA adds significance to more recent data points.
Arnaud Legoux Moving Average Bollinger Bands: ALMA removes small price fluctuations and enhances the trend by applying a moving average twice, once from left to right, and once from right to left. At the end of this process the phase shift (price lag) commonly associated with moving averages is significantly reduced. Zero-phase digital filtering reduces noise in the signal. Conventional filtering reduces noise in the signal, but adds a delay.
Least Squares Bollinger Bands: The indicator is based on sum of least squares method to find a straight line that best fits data for the selected period. The end point of the line is plotted and the process is repeated on each succeeding period.

Golden Transform The Golden Transform Oscillator contains multiple technical indicators and conditions for making buy and sell decisions. Here's a breakdown of its components and what it's trying to achieve:
Strategy Setup:
The GT is designed to be plotted on the chart without overlaying other indicators.
Rate of Change (ROC) Calculation:
The Rate of Change (ROC) indicator is calculated with a specified period ("Rate of Change Length").
The ROC measures the percentage change in price over the specified period.
Hull Modified TRIX Calculation:
The Hull Modified TRIX indicator is calculated with a specified period ("Hull TRIX Length").
The Hull MA (Moving Average) formula, a modified WMA, is used to calculate a modified TRIX indicator, which is a momentum oscillator.
Hull MA Calculation:
A Hull Moving Average (Hull MA) is calculated as an entry filter.
Fisher Transform Calculation:
The Fisher Transform indicator is calculated to serve as a preemptive exit filter.
It involves mathematical transformations of price data to create an oscillator that can help identify potential reversals. The Fisher Transform is further smoothed using a Hull Moving Average (HMA).
Conditions and Signals:
Long conditions are determined based on crossovers between ROC and TRIX, as well as price relative the the MA. Short conditions are inversed.
Exit Conditions:
Exit conditions are defined for both long and short positions.
For long positions, the strategy exits if ROC crosses under TRIX, or if the smoothed Fisher Transform crosses above a threshold and declines. Once again, short conditions are the inverse.
Visualization and Plotting:
The script uses background colors for entry and shapes for exits to highlight different levels and conditions for the ROC/TRIX correlation.
It plots the Fisher Transform values and a lag trigger on the chart.
Overall, this script is a complex algorithm that combines multiple technical indicators and conditions to generate trading signals and manage positions in the financial markets. It aims to identify potential entry and exit points based on the interplay of the mentioned indicators and conditions.
Elite MA Trend Overlay [9/21/50/200 + VWAP + HMA]🔍 What It Is:
The Elite MA Trend Overlay is a professional-grade moving average system built for day traders, scalpers, and swing traders who need clear, visual trend confirmation and precise entry zones across all timeframes.
This overlay combines 5 industry-proven tools into one compact indicator for sniper-level decision making:
EMA 9 – Entry momentum
EMA 21 – Microstructure guide
EMA 50 – Trend bias filter
EMA 200 – Institutional macro direction
VWAP – Intraday fair value (used by pros)
Hull MA (HMA) – Early shift detector
It also features auto-detected trend zones using color-coded background shading to help you instantly know if the market is in a bullish or bearish regime.
🧠 How It Works:
The script dynamically plots the short-term to long-term moving averages to reflect real-time market structure. When all EMAs are aligned in one direction, a colored background highlights the dominant trend:
✅ Green background = Bullish trend (9 > 21 > 50 > 200)
🔻 Red background = Bearish trend (9 < 21 < 50 < 200)
The VWAP line acts as a magnet and decision zone—traders use it for intraday entries or exits. The Hull Moving Average adapts quickly to price shifts, making it perfect for spotting early reversals before the EMAs cross.
🎯 Why It Helps Traders Succeed:
This indicator:
Removes guesswork: Know instantly if you’re in a strong trend or chop zone.
Filters bad trades: Avoid entering against structure or into volatility traps.
Improves timing: Use pullbacks to EMAs or Hull MA flips for sniper entries.
Works across timeframes: From scalping 1-minute to swing trading daily charts.
Whether you're trading gold, forex, stocks, or crypto — this overlay gives you clean, professional structure that keeps you disciplined and sharp.
⚙️ Features:
On/off toggles for VWAP & Hull MA
Minimalist, clutter-free plotting
Auto background color zones
Supports Pine Script v6 (latest version)
👑 Recommended Use:
Confirm trend with background + EMA alignment
Enter on pullbacks to EMA 21 or 50
Use Hull MA or RSI for early reversal detection
Exit at VWAP reversion or trend exhaustion
💬 “Structure is everything. Trade with the flow, not against it.”
Fibonacci Levels on Any Indicator [By MUQWISHI]▋ INTRODUCTION :
A “Fibonacci Levels on Any Indicator” can be applied to any indicator to draw Fibonacci levels based on provided conditions of two price points to produce a sequence of horizontal line levels starting from 0% to 100% in addition to extension levels. The 0% level is measured as the start of retracement, while the 100% level is the beginning of the extension levels. This tool was developed to be easy to add to any indicator, and it could be valuable to some traders in terms of managing trades by setting targets and reducing risk in the trend direction.
_______________________
▋ USAGE:
➤ NEEDS TO IDENTIFY 4 ELEMENTS:
1. Starting Point. What’re the conditions / When will the drawing of the Fibonacci levels begin?
2. Ending Point. What’re the conditions / When will the drawing of the Fibonacci levels end?
3. High Point. What is the price for a 100% Fibonacci level (0% for the downside)?
4. Low Point. What is the price for a 0% Fibonacci level (100% for the downside)?
➤ STARTING & ENDING POINTS CONDITIONS:
Need to specify the condition when the drawing of Fibonacci levels starts and ends, and the indicator shows different prepared conditions.
New Phase: Import a value (plot) from an existing indicator, where its status changes from NaN to a real number.
Crosses Above/Below: Import a value(1) (plot) from an existing indicator, where it crosses above/below value(2).
Reversal Up/Down: Import a value(1) (plot) from an existing indicator, where it rises/decreases than the previous value(1).
First/Last Bar: Useful to draw stationary Fibonacci levels.
➤ UPPER & LOWER PIVOTS (0% & 100%):
Need to specify the two price points representing 0% & 100% Fibonacci levels to expose the sequence of Fibonacci lines.
Upper Pivot. By default, the ATR Upper Band. It’s possible to import a custom value from an existing indicator.
Lower Pivot. By default, the ATR Lower Band. It’s possible to import a custom value from an existing indicator.
➤ FIBONACCI STYLING OPTIONS:
Ability to customize line & label style, color, reverse, and hide/show levels.

Colored Moving Averages With Close Signals[Whvntr][TradeStation]Plots the first time the close price is above or below the colored portion of the chosen MA. The MA's formula is from TradeStation's indicator: "Colored Moving Averages Can Help You Spot Trends" . I modified that indicator with customizations that include: Buy and Sell signals. Each time the current bar closes above the MA, while it's red (bearish), there's a Sell label at the start of that MA trend. Likewise: each time the current bar closes below the MA, while it's white (bullish), there's a Buy label at the beginning of that MA trend. You can now, also, easily see which MA you are selecting by hovering your cursor over the tooltips icon. I've included a modified Hull MA as default because I've found this SMA combination with the WMA to be a very smooth oscillation. I've also added some different types of MA's. Colored moving averages are helpful to determine when a trend may be reversing.
MA's
1 · Modified Hull MA: (SMA of the WMAs Hull Formula)
2 · Hull MA
3 · Exponential Moving Average
4 · Weighted Moving Average
5 · RMA Moving Average used in RSI
6 · Volume Weighted MA
7 · Simple Moving Average
This indicator isn't endorsed as a guarantee of future, favorable, results.

Glossary:
The Hull Moving Average ( HMA ), developed by Alan Hull, is an extremely fast and smooth moving average . In fact, the HMA almost eliminates lag altogether and manages to improve smoothing at the same time.
The Exponential Hull Moving Average is similar to the standard Hull MA, but with superior smoothing. The standard Hull Moving Average is derived from the weighted moving average ( WMA ). As other moving average built from weighted moving averages it has a tendency to exaggerate price movement.
Weighted Moving Average: A Weighted Moving Average ( WMA ) is similar to the simple moving average ( SMA ), except the WMA adds significance to more recent data points.
Arnaud Legoux Moving Average: ALMA removes small price fluctuations and enhances the trend by applying a moving average twice, once from left to right, and once from right to left. At the end of this process the phase shift (price lag) commonly associated with moving averages is significantly reduced. Zero-phase digital filtering reduces noise in the signal. Conventional filtering reduces noise in the signal, but adds a delay.
Least Squares: Based on sum of least squares method to find a straight line that best fits data for the selected period. The end point of the line is plotted and the process is repeated on each succeeding period.
Triple EMA (TEMA) : The triple exponential moving average (TEMA) was designed to smooth price fluctuations, thereby making it easier to identify trends without the lag associated with traditional moving averages (MA). It does this by taking multiple exponential moving averages (EMA) of the original EMA and subtracting out some of the lag.
Running (SMoothed) Moving Average: A Modified Moving Average (MMA) (otherwise known as the Running Moving Average (RMA), or SMoothed Moving Average (SMMA)) is an indicator that shows the average value of a security's price over a period of time. It works very similar to the Exponential Moving Average, they are equivalent but for different periods (e.g., the MMA value for a 14-day period will be the same as EMA-value for a 27-days period).
Volume-Weighted Moving Average: The Volume-weighted Moving Average (VWMA) emphasizes volume by weighing prices based on the amount of trading activity in a given period of time. Users can set the length, the source and an offset. Prices with heavy trading activity get more weight than prices with light trading activity.
Tillson T3: The Tillson moving average a.k.a. the Tillson T3 indicator is one of the smoothest moving averages and is both composite and adaptive.
Big Snapper Alerts R2.0 by JustUncleLThis is a diversified Binary Option or Scalping Alert indicator originally designed for lower Time Frame Trend or Swing trading. Although you will find it a useful tool for higher time frames as well.
The Alerts are generated by the changing direction of the ColouredMA (HullMA by default), you then have the choice of selecting the Directional filtering on these signals or a Bollinger swing reversal filter.
The filters include:
Type 1 - The three MAs (EMAs 21,55,89 by default) in various combinations or by themselves. When only one directional MA selected then direction filter is given by ColouredMA above(up)/below(down) selected MA. If more than one MA selected the direction is given by MAs being in correct order for trend direction.
Type 2 - The SuperTrend direction is used to filter ColouredMA signals.
Type 3 - Bollinger Band Outside In is used to filter ColouredMA for swing reversals.
Type 4 - No directional filtering, all signals from the ColouredMA are shown.
Notes:
Each Type can be combined with another type to form more complex filtration.
Alerts can also be disabled completely if you just want one indicator with one colouredMA and/or 3xMAs and/or Bollinger Bands and/or SuperTrend painted on the chart.
Warning:
Be aware that combining Bollinger OutsideIn swing filter and a directional filter can be counter productive as they are opposites. So careful consideration is needed when combining Bollinger OutsideIn with any of the directional filters.
Hints:
For Binary Options try ColouredMA = HullMA(13) or HullMA(8) with Type 2 or 3 Filter.
When using Trend filters SuperTrend and/or 3xMA Trend, you will find if price reverses and breaks back through the Big Fat Signal line, then this can be a good reversal trade.

Hull For LoopHull For Loop is a sophisticated trend-following indicator that combines the smoothness of Hull Moving Averages with advanced trend detection algorithms and robust confirmation mechanisms.
## How It Works
At its foundation, Hull For Loop employs a custom-calculated Hull Moving Average using weighted moving average for-loops to achieve optimal smoothness and responsiveness. The system operates through three distinct layers: Hull MA calculation with adjustable smoothing multipliers, advanced trend detection using ATR-based slope thresholds, and multi-bar trend confirmation to filter false breakouts.
The logic flow is elegantly simple yet powerful:
- Hull Calculation combines half-period and full-period weighted moving averages, then applies square-root smoothing for enhanced responsiveness
- Trend Detection analyzes Hull slope against dynamic ATR-based thresholds, classifying market direction as bullish, bearish, or neutral
- Confirmation System requires sustained directional movement across multiple bars before triggering signals, dramatically reducing whipsaws
When Hull slope exceeds the positive threshold, bullish conditions emerge. When it falls below the negative threshold, bearish momentum takes control. The multi-bar confirmation ensures only sustained moves generate actionable signals, making this system ideal for trend-following strategies across volatile markets.
The advanced slope analysis mechanism adapts to market volatility through ATR integration, ensuring sensitivity remains optimal during both high-volatility breakouts and low-volatility consolidations, delivering consistent performance across varying market conditions.
## Features
- Custom Hull Implementation : For-loop calculations for precise weighted moving average control and enhanced smoothness
- Dynamic Trend Detection : ATR-based slope analysis automatically adjusts sensitivity to market volatility conditions
- Multi-Bar Confirmation : Configurable confirmation periods (1-5 bars) eliminate false signals and reduce trading noise
- Advanced Visual System : Dynamic color coding, optional arrows, and statistics table for comprehensive market visualization
- Optimized for Bitcoin : Extensively backtested parameters delivering 128.58% returns with 55% drawdown reduction versus buy-and-hold
- Flexible Configuration : Hull length (1-200), smoothing multiplier (0.1-3.0), sensitivity (1-10), and confirmation settings
- Professional Alerts : Comprehensive alert system for trend changes and entry signals with strength percentages
- Real-time Analytics : Optional statistics table displaying trend direction, strength, Hull value, and current price
## Signal Generation
Hull For Loop generates multiple signal types for comprehensive trend analysis and precise entry/exit timing:
Primary Signals : Confirmed trend changes from bullish to bearish or vice versa - highest probability directional moves
Entry Signals : Initial trend confirmation after multi-bar validation - optimal position entry points
Strength Indicators : Real-time trend strength percentages based on directional momentum over lookback periods
Visual Confirmations : Color-coded Hull line providing instant visual trend status
The confirmation system adds crucial reliability - signals must persist through the specified confirmation period before activation, ensuring only sustained moves trigger trading decisions rather than temporary price fluctuations.
## Visual Implementation
The indicator employs sophisticated visual elements for immediate trend comprehension and professional chart presentation:
- Dynamic Hull Line : Color-changing line (green/red/gray) with configurable width reflecting current trend status
- Optional Directional Arrows : Triangle markers below/above bars marking confirmed trend changes and entry points (disabled by default)
- Statistics Panel : Optional real-time table showing trend direction, strength percentage, Hull value, and current price
- Professional Color Scheme : Customizable bullish (green), bearish (red), and neutral (gray) color system
## Alerts
Hull For Loop includes comprehensive alert conditions for automated trading integration:
- Hull Trend Change - Confirmed trend direction shift with strength percentage
- Hull BUY Signal - Bullish trend confirmation with price and strength data
- Hull SELL Signal - Bearish trend confirmation with price and strength data
- Alert Frequency - Once per bar to prevent spam while maintaining accuracy
All alerts include contextual information: trend direction, current price, and trend strength percentage for informed decision-making.
## Use Cases
Trend Following : Optimized for sustained directional moves with superior drawdown protection compared to buy-and-hold strategies
Swing Trading : Multi-bar confirmation eliminates false breakouts while capturing significant trend changes
Position Trading : Smooth Hull calculation provides stable signals for longer-term directional positioning
Risk Management : Advanced confirmation system dramatically reduces whipsaw trades and false signals
Crypto Trading : Specifically optimized for Bitcoin with parameters delivering exceptional historical performance
The system demonstrates exceptional performance across volatile assets.

I have duplicated huyfibo's calculation for 1 line multiple times, changed variables on each one to create 12 total lines, and customized the color and width of each to help them be identifiable on the 1 minute chart.
This indicator was requested and written for a study to replace multiple SMA's with Hull MAs to compare accuracy as the Hull has much less lag.
As you can see on the above chart, it displays both the 200(1 min) and 1000 ( 5 min) HMA in gold . If user was watching the 1 min chart expecting price to resist at the 200, it would not hold. Although on the 5 min chart it does. This combination gives the user the expectation that price could jump the first line and resist at the second, which it does here.
Combining multiple lines into 1 also to take up much less room at the top of the chart for cleaner visual.
Default values are as such so that the user can have 5 min values displayed on a 1 min chart, as well as the equiv of 200 on the 30 min chart for the 2 and 4 hour.
This is a simply a matter of convenience for the study and can be unchecked to be hidden.
Coded colors and lengths are to visually discern comparable values. Both 1 and 5 min timeframes are the same color, but 1 min timeframe value has larger linewidth
Hull # 10 and 11 are intended for 30 min timeframe and should be unchecked for anything less as their value with be invalid.
All period values, color combinations, and line width can be changed in the the input menu.

MA OrderBlocks [AlgoAlpha]🟨 HMA OrderBlocks by AlgoAlpha is a powerful tool designed to help traders visualize key pivot zones and order blocks based on the Hull Moving Average (HMA). By dynamically identifying bullish and bearish pivot points, this script provides insights into potential price reversals and trend continuations. With customizable settings, it allows traders to tweak the behavior of the indicator to match their strategies. Plus, it comes packed with built-in alerts for trend changes, making it easier to spot potential trade opportunities.
Key Features :
📊 Trend Detection : Utilizes Hull Moving Average to detect the current trend.
🟢🔴 Bullish & Bearish Zones : Automatically plots bullish and bearish order blocks, using customizable colors for clear visual cues.
🎯 Pivot Points : Detects and marks pivot highs and lows, helping traders spot key price reversals.
🚨 Alerts : Built-in alert system for when the price approaches key bullish or bearish zones, or when the trend changes.
🔨 Customizable MA: Choose from various moving averages (SMA, HMA, EMA, etc.) to suit your strategy.
How to Use :
⭐ Add the Indicator : Add the indicators to favourites by pressing the star icon. Once added, configure settings like the Hull MA period and pivot detection period.
📈 Analyze the Chart : Watch for the plotted order blocks and pivot points to identify possible price action strategies.
🔔 Enable Alerts : Set up alerts to be notified of potential trend reversals or when the price nears a bullish/bearish block.
How It Works :
The script starts by calculating the Hull Moving Average (HMA) based on the user-defined length, which is used to determine the market trend direction. It compares the current HMA value with the previous one to confirm whether the price is trending upwards or downwards. Once a trend change is detected, it plots bullish or bearish order blocks based on recent pivot highs and lows. These zones are extended in real-time as long as they remain invalidated. Zones are invalidated are invalidated when price completely closes through them. If the price gets close to a zone in the opposing direction, a warning system alerts the user that the block may not hold. Additionally, customizable alerts trigger whenever the price trend shifts or the price gets near important bullish/bearish blocks. The script’s logic ensures that order blocks are cleared if price violates them, keeping the chart clean and updated.

PJBG - HMA Smoothed VWMA [HMASVWMA]Problem: (1) lag of traditional MA's, (2) lack of Volume data in traditional MA's, and (3) choppiness of traditional MA's.
Solution: apply hull formula tick to tick, simply at a factor of 1:1.
Result: Smooth and fast MA that has volume data baked in it.
Benefit: See trend changes fast, and if it is supported by volume. Pleasant to the eyes.
Explanatory note: hull ma's generally cannot be volume weighted because the volume will spike the line tremendously.
Creentrend Pressure SignalsThe hull moving average is my favorite moving average, as well as slower (55ma Bollinger Bands dev@(1.618)) is my favorite standard deviation indicator. Lets combine the two to evaluate overbought, oversold, and pressure.
Use for all time frames- I PREFER daily.
Bollinger band MA at 55
Hull ma at 55
The Hull is more reactive and faster than any band on the BB (both at 55)
When HULL closes BELOW LOWER BAND- it will print a buy signal, remember- over sold and overbought in VOLATILITY could be dangerous on low time frames, as swift moves typically have short term reversals but return to the main trend eventually, this is why i reccomend daily candles.
When PRICE closes ABOVE UPPER BOLLINGER BAND- it will print a green ^ signal under candle indicating upward pressure.
When HULL closes ABOVE UPPER BOLLINGER BAND- it will print a red resistance line. Complex tops happen a lot with bitcoin so take a 1-5% stop above it if shorting.

🧭 **What This Is**
This is not just another price-following tool.
This is **a macro liquidity detector** — a **Daily Higher Timeframe Hull Moving Average of the Global M2 Money Supply**, smoothed via lower timeframe candles (default 5m, 48 Hull length), overlaid with **Ultimate-style double Bollinger Bands** to reveal *over-extension & mean reversion zones*.
It doesn’t chase candles.
It watches the tides beneath the market — the **money supply currents** that have a **direct correlation** to asset price behavior.
When liquidity expands → risk-on assets tend to rise.
When liquidity contracts → risk-off waves hit.
We ride those waves.
---
🔍 **What It Does**
* **Tracks Global M2** across major economies, FX-adjusted, and scales it to your chart’s price.
* **HTF Hull MA** (Daily, smoothed via 5m base) → gives you the macro liquidity trend.
* **Ultimate BB logic** applied to the HTF M2 Hull → inner/outer bands for volatility envelopes.
* **Pivot Labels** → ideal entry/exit zones on macro turns.
* **Over-Extension Alerts** → when HTF M2 Hull pushes outside the outer bands.
* **Re-Entry Alerts** → mean reversion triggers when liquidity moves back inside the range.
* **Background Paint** from chart TF M2 slope → for confluence on your entry timeframe.
---
📜 **Suggested How-To**
1. **Choose your execution chart** — e.g., 1–15m for scalps, 1H–4H for swings.
2. **Use the background paint** as your *local tide check* (chart TF M2 slope).
3. **Trade in the direction of the HTF M2 Hull** — green line = liquidity rising, red line = liquidity falling.
4. **Watch pivot labels** — these are potential “macro inflection” points.
5. **Confluence stack** — pair with ZLSMA, WaveTrend divergences, VWAP volume, or your favorite price-action setups.
6. **Size down** when HTF M2 Hull is flat/gray (chop zone).
7. **Scale in/out** on over-extension + re-entry alerts for higher probability swings.

⚠️ **Important Note**
This indicator **does not predict price** — it tracks macro liquidity flows that *influence* price.
Think of it as your market’s **tide chart**: when the water’s coming in, you can swim out; when it’s going out, you’d better be ready for the undertow.

Double CCI Confirmed Hull Moving Average Reversal StrategyOverview
The Double CCI Confirmed Hull Moving Average Strategy utilizes hull moving average (HMA) in conjunction with two commodity channel index (CCI) indicators: the slow and fast to increase the probability of entering when the short and mid-term uptrend confirmed. The main idea is to wait until the price breaks the HMA while both CCI are showing that the uptrend has likely been already started. Moreover, strategy uses exponential moving average (EMA) to trail the price when it reaches the specific level. The strategy opens only long trades.
Unique Features
Dynamic stop-loss system: Instead of fixed stop-loss level strategy utilizes average true range (ATR) multiplied by user given number subtracted from the position entry price as a dynamic stop loss level.
Configurable Trading Periods: Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Double trade setup confirmation: Strategy utilizes two different period CCI indicators to confirm the breakouts of HMA.
Trailing take profit level: After reaching the trailing profit activation level scrip activate the trailing of long trade using EMA. More information in methodology.
Methodology
The strategy opens long trade when the following price met the conditions:
Short-term period CCI indicator shall be above 0.
Long-term period CCI indicator shall be above 0.
Price shall cross the HMA and candle close above it with the same candle
When long trade is executed, strategy set the stop-loss level at the price ATR multiplied by user-given value below the entry price. This level is recalculated on every next candle close, adjusting to the current market volatility.
At the same time strategy set up the trailing stop validation level. When the price crosses the level equals entry price plus ATR multiplied by user-given value script starts to trail the price with EMA. If price closes below EMA long trade is closed. When the trailing starts, script prints the label “Trailing Activated”.
Strategy settings
In the inputs window user can setup the following strategy settings:
ATR Stop Loss (by default = 1.75)
ATR Trailing Profit Activation Level (by default = 2.25)
CCI Fast Length (by default = 25, used for calculation short term period CCI
CCI Slow Length (by default = 50, used for calculation long term period CCI)
Hull MA Length (by default = 34, period of HMA, which shall be broken to open trade)
Trailing EMA Length (by default = 20)
User can choose the optimal parameters during backtesting on certain price chart.
Justification of Methodology
Before understanding why this particular combination of indicator has been chosen let's briefly explain what is CCI and HMA.
The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is a momentum-based technical indicator used in trading to measure a security's price relative to its average price over a given period. Developed by Donald Lambert in 1980, the CCI is primarily used to identify cyclical trends in a security, helping traders to spot potential buying or selling opportunities.
The CCI formula is:
CCI = (Typical Price − SMA) / (0.015 × Mean Deviation)
Typical Price (TP): This is calculated as the average of the high, low, and closing prices for the period.
Simple Moving Average (SMA): This is the average of the Typical Prices over a specific number of periods.
Mean Deviation: This is the average of the absolute differences between the Typical Price and the SMA.
The result is a value that typically fluctuates between +100 and -100, though it is not bounded and can go higher or lower depending on the price movement.
The Hull Moving Average (HMA) is a type of moving average that was developed by Alan Hull to improve upon the traditional moving averages by reducing lag while maintaining smoothness. The goal of the HMA is to create an indicator that is both quick to respond to price changes and less prone to whipsaws (false signals).
How the Hull Moving Average is Calculated?
The Hull Moving Average is calculated using the following steps:
Weighted Moving Average (WMA): The HMA starts by calculating the Weighted Moving Average (WMA) of the price data over a period square root of n (sqrt(n))
Speed Adjustment: A WMA is then calculated for half of the period n/2, and this is multiplied by 2 to give more weight to recent prices.
Lag Reduction: The WMA of the full period n is subtracted from the doubled n/2 WMA.
Final Smoothing: To smooth the result and reduce noise, a WMA is calculated for the square root of the period n.
The formula can be represented as:
HMA(n) = WMA(WMA(n/2) × 2 − WMA(n), sqrt(n))
The Weighted Moving Average (WMA) is a type of moving average that gives more weight to recent data points, making it more responsive to recent price changes than a Simple Moving Average (SMA). In a WMA, each data point within the selected period is multiplied by a weight, with the most recent data receiving the highest weight. The sum of these weighted values is then divided by the sum of the weights to produce the WMA.
This strategy leverages HMA of user given period as a critical level which shall be broken to say that probability of trend change to the upside increased. HMA reacts faster than EMA or SMA to the price change, that’s why it increases chances to enter new trade earlier. Long-term period CCI helps to have an approximation of mid-term trend. If it’s above 0 the probability of uptrend increases. Short-period CCI allows to have an approximation of short-term trend reversal from down to uptrend. This approach increases chances to have a long trade setup in the direction of mid-term trend when the short-term trend starts to reverse.
ATR is used to adjust the strategy risk management to the current market volatility. If volatility is low, we don’t need the large stop loss to understand the there is a high probability that we made a mistake opening the trade. User can setup the settings ATR Stop Loss and ATR Trailing Profit Activation Level to realize his own risk to reward preferences, but the unique feature of a strategy is that after reaching trailing profit activation level strategy is trying to follow the trend until it is likely to be finished instead of using fixed risk management settings. It allows sometimes to be involved in the large movements. It’s also important to make a note, that script uses HMA to enter the trade, but for trailing it leverages EMA. It’s used because EMA has no such fast reaction to price move which increases probability not to be stopped out from any significant uptrend move.

User Selectable Moving Average GuppyA version of the popular "Moving Average Ribbon" or "Guppy" indicators, except nearly everything about it is user selectable. The user can change the source, period, and type of moving average used for every single line on the chart. Note: The visuals are fairly intensive and may take a moment to catch up after adjusting settings.
Credit: This script utilizes the "Color Gradient Framework" tutorial by LucF (PineCoders) to create gradient visuals, which are also customizable for the user.
Moving Average Options:
Running (SMoothed) Moving Average (RMA or SMMA) - Slowest
Simple Moving Average (SMA) - Slow
Exponential Moving Average (EMA) - Responds faster to price than SMA
Weighted Moving Average (WMA)
Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA)
Triple EMA (TEMA)
Exponential Hull Moving Average (EHMA) - Hull with Smoothing (Slower than Hull)
Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) - Simple Linear Regression
Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA) - Adjustable, set offset=1 to be current, offset=0.85 for good smoothing (Slower)
Hull Moving Average (HMA) - Normally responds fastest to price of all options
Value Added :
This script is unique in that it allows the user to chart the "Guppy", except nearly everything about it is customizable. The user can change the source, period, and type of moving average used for every single line.
Typically, the Guppy is plotted with simple moving average or exponential moving average, which respond much slower to price than the Hull Moving Average, which this indicator uses as default. (Elimination of lag)
The Hull MA settings for the highest time frame moving averages should work well for assessing the overall macro trend, with a nice visual presentation. Additional labels and alerts for the macro trend are available.
Furthermore, this script provides many more options for type of moving average than is typical for a moving average indicator that provides the user with options, including advanced options such as Hull, TEMA, and ALMA.
The visual presentation is customizable and should provide some entertainment for users who want to create pretty charts.
