Is 3 Hull Spread

3-Hull-Spread - professional cross-instrument stat.arb (Statistical Arbitrage) Indicator of the SPREAD of 3 (three) different instruments via building visual iChannel (see the equation below) that is changing its Width proportionally to the input from each instrument ("Statistical Arbitrage" based on Hull MA =HMA).

Core principle: price lines following the prices of "their" symbols after each discrepancy, constantly tending to return to the total of "synthetic" central. In other words, a system of 3 "related" instruments//pairs constantly strives to revert to their mean (so called "mean-reversion" effect).

• Works on any Instrument/TF (must open Charts/TF for all instruments used)
• Synchronization in place. After current bar is closed -- No re-paint / No re-draw
• "SetIndexBuffer" available for all variables (can be used in EA)
• Autodetect 4- and 5-digit prices

The following formulas have been used to build iChannel:

• iChannel = (S1-M) + (S2-M) + (S3-M) (red and green dots)
• Middle-line М = "synthetic" central (S1 + S2 + S3)/3 (yellow dotted line)

• Price-line Symbol-1: chart where Indicator is turned on)
• Price-line Symbol-2  (reversal=true/false - for instruments with negative correlation)
• Price-line Symbol-3  (reversal=true/false - for instruments with negative correlation)

This formula allows to combine various instruments on one chart (see Fig. 1), for example:

• XAUUSD ~1100
• AUDUSD ~0.7
• USDCAD ~1.33

Conditions for Entry/Signal:

#1. Width of iChannel started to narrow (first green dot after series of red dots)

#2. Width of iChannel > Level

#3. Price Line S1 is on one side of Middle-line М, аnd Price Lines S2 and S3 - are on the opposite side of Middle-line М -- as following:

• Signal BUY Symbol-1: S1<M S2>M S3>M -- NOTE: iChannel width (red and green dots) is changing wider or narrower
• Signal SELL Symbol-1: S1>M S2<M S3<M -- NOTE: iChannel width (red and green dots) is changing wider or narrower

NOTE: for classic 3-way combinations (where participating 3 currencies only) - Middle-line М will be always a straight line.
