TWO MAIN WAYS THE HULL MOVING AVERAGE CAN BE USED TO BUY OR SELL
- Change of slope of the hull moving average indicator tells you to be ready to buy or sell.
- If the slope starts to point up, get ready to buy. So you can enter immediately at market order or place a buy stop pending order 1-2 pips above the high of the candlestick that forms and causes the slope to point up (after that candlestick closes by the way…)
- If the slope starts to point down, get ready to sell. you can enter a sell market order or place a sell stop pending order 1-2 pips under the low of the candlestick that causes the slope of hull moving average indicator to point downwards.
- 2 Hull Moving Average Cross Overs: this is a typical situation with other moving averages, eg HMA 7 and HMA 14 crossover.
- if the fast HMA crossed the slower one to the upside, that is an uptrend.
- if the faster HMA crosses the slower one to the downside, that is a downtrend.
- so what you can do is wait for the HMA crossovers to happen and then enter buy or sell order.
- for a buy setup, you can either enter at market order or place a buy stop order just 1-2 pips above the high of the candlestick that forms that actually confirms the crossover. Place your stop loss at least 5 pips below its low.
- For a sell setup, you enter a sell market order or place a sell stop order 1-2 pips below the low of the candlestick that confirms the crossover. Place your stop loss at least 5 pips above the high of that candlestick.
