The Hull Moving Average(HMA) is not the same as the traditional technical indicators such as the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the Simple Moving Average (SMA) because it involves the weighted moving average (WMA) in its calculation. This means that it gives a higher weight to recent price data and a lower weight to previous price data. Thus, it makes recent company developments weigh more. Developed by Alan Hull in 2005, this indicator makes use of weighted moving averages to prioritize more recent values and greatly reduce lag. The resulting average is more responsive and well-suited for identifying entry points. The Hull Moving Average (HMA) overlay is designed to minimize the lag of a traditional moving average while retaining the smoothness of the moving average line. Short-term traders can look for turning points in the average to identify entry/exit points. Longer-term HMAs can be used to identify or confirm the overall trend. As with all technical indicators, traders should use the HMA in conjunction with other indicators and analysis techniques. The Qualitative Quantitative Estimation (QQE) indicator works like a smoother version of the popular Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator. QQE expands on RSI by adding two volatility based trailing stop lines. These trailing stop lines are composed of a fast and a slow moving Average True Range (ATR). There are many indicators for many purposes. Some of them are complex and some are comparatively easy to handle. The QQE indicator is a really useful analytical tool and one of the most accurate indicators. It offers numerous strategies for using the buy and sell signals. Essentially, it can help detect trend reversal and enter the trade at the most optimal positions. There are a lot of pre-education and pre-trading decisions you will need to make before you spend any money on trading or capitalizing an account to trade live with as a brand new self-directed trader. How to use Hull Moving Average to Trade the Trend delivers a comprehensive guide to some of the tools and resources needed to help give you the best beginner information to make some of those hardest decisions. The given strategy can be applied for any actively traded asset on big liquid markets like Equities, Forex, Commodities, Cryptocurrencies, Bonds, etc. So, if you're serious about trading get hold of this book today, and begin practicing using the tools and strategies to get you on the best road to successful trading with great profit.
