Hull Moving Average (HMA)

Created by Alan Hull, the Hull Moving Average is a modified weighted average of price that reduces lag. [Discuss] 💬

// C# usage syntax
IEnumerable<HmaResult> results =
  quotes.GetHma(lookbackPeriods);

Parameters

lookbackPeriods int - Number of periods (N) in the moving average. Must be greater than 1.

Historical quotes requirements

You must have at least N+(integer of SQRT(N))-1 periods of quotes to cover the warmup periods.

quotes is a collection of generic TQuote historical price quotes. It should have a consistent frequency (day, hour, minute, etc). See the Guide for more information.

Response

IEnumerable<HmaResult>

• This method returns a time series of all available indicator values for the quotes provided.
• It always returns the same number of elements as there are in the historical quotes.
• It does not return a single incremental indicator value.
• The first N+(integer of SQRT(N))-1 periods will have null values since there’s not enough data to calculate.

HmaResult

Date DateTime - Date from evaluated TQuote

Hma double - Hull moving average

Utilities

• .Condense()
• .Find(lookupDate)
• .RemoveWarmupPeriods()
• .RemoveWarmupPeriods(qty)

See Utilities and helpers for more information.

Chaining

This indicator may be generated from any chain-enabled indicator or method.

// example
var results = quotes
    .Use(CandlePart.HL2)
    .GetHma(..);

Results can be further processed on Hma with additional chain-enabled indicators.

// example
var results = quotes
    .GetHma(..)
    .GetRsi(..);
