Hull Trend with Kahlman

Hull Trend with Kahlman

Indicator designed to implement a trading indicator combining a Hull Moving Average (HMA) with a Kahlman filter, used to identify trends and potential buy/sell signals in a financial market. Let’s break it down into simpler terms:

Overview

  • Purpose: The script creates a custom trend-following indicator.
  • Key Components: It uses a Hull Moving Average (HMA), a variation of the moving average designed to reduce lag and improve smoothness, and a Kalman filter, which is used to estimate the state of a system from noisy data.

How it Works

  1. Setting Up Variables:
    • length, showcross, gain, k, nonrepainting are variables that can be adjusted to modify how the indicator behaves.
    • src represents the source data, typically the closing price of a trading instrument.
  2. Calculating the Hull Moving Average (HMA):
    • The script calculates the HMA and a modified version, referred to as hma3, based on the closing price (close). These calculations use weighted averages over different periods to reduce lag and increase responsiveness.
  3. Kalman Filter Implementation:
    • The script initializes variables for the Kalman filter: Pred, Velo, Smooth.
    • The Kalman filter is applied in a loop, modifying the values of these variables to estimate the “true” state of the market price (kf) from the noisy input data (src).
  4. Applying the Filter to the HMA:
    • The script calculates two versions of the indicator: one using the raw closing price (a and b without Kalman filter) and another using the Kalman-filtered price (a and b with Kalman filter).
  5. Cross Signals:
    • If showcross is true, the script looks for crossover points between a and b — these are points where the two lines cross each other.
    • When a crosses over b, it’s marked as a “sell” signal (S), and when a crosses under b, it’s marked as a “buy” signal (B).
    • The script can optionally mark these signals on the chart using text and points, with an additional option for “non-repainting” mode, which affects how and where these signals are displayed.
  6. Drawing on the Chart:
    • The script uses drawing functions (DRAWTEXT, DRAWPOINT) to visually represent buy and sell signals on the chart for easier interpretation.

    There’s a typo in the title. It is not Kahlman but the Kalman filter. Drop the letter h in the name.

    Merci Jacques d’avoir répondu à une demande du forum 🙂

    bonjour
    Petit soucis avec src , dans l’original src = hl/2 soit (high+low)/2
    Un idée ?
    /@version=4
    study(“Hull Trend with Kahlman”, shorttitle=”HMA-Kahlman Trend”, overlay=true)

    src = input(hl2, “Price Data”)
    length = input(24, “Lookback”)
    showcross = input(true, “Show cross over/under”)
    gain = input(10000, “Gain”)
    k = input(true, “Use Kahlman”)

    Bonjour
    non pas de soucis car src=customclose donc dans le menu configuration/propriété menu déroulant choisir médian (h+b)/2 ou alors si vous voulez figer cette variable dans le probuilder remplacer src=customclose par src=Median Price
