Hi All, 

is it possible to show how to use the HMA (hull moving average) in Cbot code? i.e what will be the correct way to code it in cbot since the HMA is a custom indicator 

 

thanks

Hello,

Open your cbot, click on manage references and add the Hull indicator, if it is not showing then you will need to install it from the custom cbots by clicking on the cbot option in the menu above and search for the hull indicator.

Add a new user defined property:

[Parameter("Hull Period", DefaultValue = 5, MinValue = 1)]
public int HullPeriod { get; set; }

Add a new private variable: 

private HMA hull;
  1. In the onstart method add this:
// HULL moving Average
hull = Indicators.GetIndicator<HMA>(HullPeriod);

Now you can use it to filter:

 // false signal to buy
 if (hull.hma.IsFalling())
 return 0;

RE: RE:

Thanks Paul I really appreciate your help

my mistake was not defining the indicator int period on Getindicator method :)

        [Parameter("Hull Period", DefaultValue = 5, MinValue = 1)]
        public int HullPeriod { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Hull Period2", DefaultValue = 10, MinValue = 1)]

on start 

 hull = Indicators.GetIndicator<HMA>(HullPeriod);
            hull2 = Indicators.GetIndicator<HMA>(HullPeriod2);

You probably already know this but, look at this extract about the Hull Average which is a trend indicator:-

A shorter period HMA may be used for entry signals in the direction of the prevailing trend. A long entry signal, when the prevailing trend is rising, occurs when the HMA turns up and a short entry signal, when the prevailing trend is falling, occurs when the HMA turns down.

So its common to use the property hull.hma.IsFalling() or hull.hma.IsRising(), I see you strategy compares 2 hull periods and closes positions depending on the period of the first indicator being higher or lower than the last indicator.

Your code snippet just closes any positions it finds, you are not opening any new positions, i recommend that you either:-

  1. Write the design of your strategy down in a document so that you have for example; a flow chart showing how it will work and then develop your code to match this.
  2. Post on the job board for someone to write this for you.

Cheers,

Paul.

RE:

Hi Paul,

thanks again for your support, actually the robot opens trades based on ADX indicator , and i wanted to use the HMA to exit from entries based on the cross of short and long period HMAs , so when i applied the  > or < i noticed that no trades created, i will apply  the function IsFalling or IsRising or might try to use different indicator that is more sensitive to price moves,  the good thing about HMA is the indicator reacts to price more than EMA or SMA

hello again, I am sure you will work it out, you gave me an idea about the HULL average so i extended the original one to include signals:-

Download the latest indicator HMA Signals and the instructions on use with a cBot, read up on the HULL indicator as I mentioned before it will tell you how it is useful with trend.
