Hull MA with Alerts and Labels

١٢ سبتمبر

This script is designed to help traders visually track market trends using various types of moving averages (MAs) and to receive alerts when certain conditions are met. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how the script works:

1. User Inputs and Customization:
MA Length: Traders can define the length of the moving average (default is 100).
Confirmation Candles: The trader can specify how many candles must confirm a trend before the script triggers a signal (default is 1).

MA Variation: The trader can choose between different moving average types: Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Weighted Moving Average (WMA), or Hull Moving Average (HMA).

Source: Traders select the price source for the moving average calculation (e.g., close price).
Ribbon Transparency: Allows control over the transparency level of the ribbon plotted between the moving averages.

Bullish/Bearish Ribbon Colors: The user can choose the colors for bullish and bearish trends.

2. Moving Average Calculations:
The script provides multiple options for calculating moving averages:
SMA (Simple Moving Average)
EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
WMA (Weighted Moving Average)
HMA (Hull Moving Average)

For the Hull Moving Average (HMA), it uses a specific formula that smoothens the movement and reduces lag, which is helpful for more reactive trend detection.

3. Plotting Moving Averages and Trend Ribbon:
The script calculates two key moving averages:
MHULL: The main moving average, selected based on the user’s chosen MA variation and source.
SHULL: A shifted version of the MHULL to help compare trends (shifted by 2 bars).

These two moving averages are plotted on the chart for visualization. MHULL is plotted in green (or another color if changed), while SHULL is plotted in red. A ribbon is drawn between MHULL and SHULL to indicate trends visually. The ribbon changes color depending on whether the trend is bullish (MHULL > SHULL) or bearish (MHULL < SHULL). The ribbon’s transparency can be adjusted for visual clarity.

4. Trend Detection:
Bullish Trend: The script checks if the price has closed above MHULL for the defined number of confirmation candles. If confirmed, a bullish trend is detected.
Bearish Trend: Similarly, the script checks if the price has closed below SHULL for the confirmation period, indicating a bearish trend.

The script tracks whether the market is in a bullish or bearish trend and prevents repeated signals by remembering the current trend state.

5. Alerts and Labels:
Bullish Alerts and Labels: When a confirmed bullish trend is detected (i.e., price closes above MHULL for the entire confirmation period and MHULL > SHULL), the script triggers an alert notifying the trader of the bullish condition. A "BULLISH" label is placed on the chart near the low of the candle where the trend was confirmed.

Bearish Alerts and Labels: If a confirmed bearish trend is detected (i.e., price closes below SHULL for the confirmation period and MHULL < SHULL), the script triggers an alert for the bearish condition. A "BEARISH" label is placed on the chart near the high of the candle where the trend was confirmed.

These alerts and labels help traders act quickly on trend changes and align their trading strategy with market conditions.

6. Practical Use for Traders:
For traders, this script offers:

Customizability: It allows traders to define the length and type of moving averages, choose price sources, and control how signals are confirmed.
Visual Trend Representation: The plotted MA lines and colored ribbons help traders easily see market direction.
Early Warnings: With alerts and labels, the script gives traders early signals when trends are shifting, allowing them to adjust positions accordingly.
Trend Confirmation: The script waits for a user-defined number of confirmation candles before signaling a new trend, reducing false signals.

Overall, the script helps traders automate their strategy by tracking moving averages and alerting them when key trend conditions are met.
