Hull Suite — Responsive Trend Engine for MT4 (figure 1)
**Hull Suite** brings the famous **Hull Moving Average** — created by Alan Hull in 2005 — to MetaTrader 5 in a single, flexible, ready-to-trade package. The Hull Moving Average is prized for one reason: it is **extremely responsive yet remarkably smooth**. It hugs price closely, cuts lag to a minimum, and still delivers clean, readable curves — exactly what a discretionary or systematic trader needs to read trend direction at a glance.
This indicator regroups **three different Hull variations** into one tool, wraps them in an **automatic trend-coloring band**, and adds **built-in alerts** (pop-up, mobile push, email) so you never miss a trend change. Whether you use the Hull line as a **dynamic support/resistance** on higher settings or as a **swing-entry trigger** on lower settings, the Suite adapts to your style through a handful of clear inputs.
**Key highlights**
- 3 Hull variations in one indicator: **HMA**, **EHMA** (Exponential Hull), **THMA** (Triple Hull)
- **Trend-adaptive coloring** — the band/line turns green in an up-trend and red in a down-trend
- **Two visualization modes** — a filled band or a single clean line
- **Length multiplier** to view a higher-timeframe-style smooth band on your current chart
- **Multi-alert engine** — Alert / Push / Email / Telegram on every trend flip
- Works on **any symbol and any timeframe** — Forex, metals, indices, crypto, stocks
- Lightweight, non-repainting on closed bars, fully customizable colors and thickness

What makes the Hull Moving Average special?
A traditional moving average forces a trade-off: **smooth but laggy**, or **fast but noisy**. The Hull method solves this by combining weighted moving averages of different lengths so that the result reacts quickly to price while filtering out the jitter. The outcome is a line that:
- **Turns early** at genuine reversals, giving you a timelier read on trend change
- **Stays flat and stable** during noise, keeping you out of false signals
- **Acts as a moving floor/ceiling** — price respects the Hull as dynamic support/resistance
## Input Options
Every input is designed to be self-explanatory. You can run the indicator with defaults and only
touch **Length** and **Hull Variation** to fit your market.
### Core calculation
| Input | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| **Hull Variation** | Hma | Choose the calculation engine: **Hma**, **Ehma**, or **Thma**. Each has a slightly different smoothness/lag profile. |
| **Source** | Close | Applied price used for the calculation (Close, Open, Median, Typical, Weighted...). |
| **Length** | 55 | The core period. **~55 for swing entries**; **~180–200 for a slow floating support/resistance** band. |
| **Length multiplier** | 1.0 | Scales the effective length. Increase it to render a straighter, higher-timeframe-style band on your current chart. |
### Visualization
| Input | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| **Color Hull according to trend?** | true | When ON, the Hull turns **green in an up-trend** and **red in a down-trend** (trend = current Hull vs Hull 2 bars ago). When OFF, a single neutral color is used. |
| **Show as a Band?** | true | ON = draw the **filled band** (MHULL + SHULL). OFF = single clean line only. |
| **Line Thickness** | 1 | Global thickness for the Hull line/band — change once here instead of editing every object manually. |
### Alerts / Notifications
| Input | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| **Alert when Hull trending UP?** | true | Fire an alert when the Hull flips **bullish** (green). |
| **Alert when Hull trending DOWN?** | true | Fire an alert when the Hull flips **bearish** (red). |
| **Notification type** | Alert | Delivery channel: **None / Telegram / Alert (pop-up) / MT5 mobile app / Email / Telegram with screenshot**. |
| **Email subject / Telegram file / channel / bot token** | — | Fill only if you use the email or Telegram channels. |

## How to Trade with Hull Suite
Hull Suite is a **trend tool**. It is designed to keep you on the right side of the market and to
signal the moment momentum shifts. Below are the most common ways traders use it.
### 1. Trend-flip entries (color change)
The simplest and most powerful signal is the **color change**:
- **Long bias** — when the band/line turns **green** (bullish flip), look for long entries.
- **Short bias** — when it turns **red** (bearish flip), look for short entries.
The built-in alert fires exactly on this flip, so you can trade it manually or use it as a
confirmation layer. Best used on **Length ≈ 55** for swing-style entries.

### 2. Dynamic support / resistance (floating S/R)
Set **Length to 180–200** and use the Hull as a **moving floor in up-trends and ceiling in
down-trends**:
- In an up-trend, price pulling back **to the green Hull and bouncing** is a continuation entry.
- In a down-trend, price rallying **into the red Hull and rejecting** is a continuation short.
This turns the Hull into a trailing reference for **pullback trades** and for **trailing your
stop** behind an existing position.
### 3. Higher-timeframe bias with the Length multiplier
Raise the **Length multiplier** to plot a **slower, straighter band** without leaving your entry
chart. Use this thicker band as your **directional filter** — only take entries in its direction —
while a second instance with a shorter length times the entry.
### 4. Trend filter for any strategy
Drop Hull Suite onto any system as a **regime filter**: trade only when your setups align with the
Hull color. It pairs well with breakout, pullback, and momentum strategies to cut counter-trend
losses.
### Practical tips
- Act on **closed-bar** signals to avoid intrabar noise.
- **HMA** = balanced; **EHMA** = smoother/steadier; **THMA** = tighter to price. Pick per market.
- Combine two lengths (e.g. 55 + 200) for a trend-and-pullback workflow.
## Why choose this Hull Suite?
- **Three engines, one indicator** — no need to load multiple tools.
- **Instant visual read** — trend color removes guesswork.
- **Never miss a turn** — alerts on every device you use.
- **Fully customizable** — variation, length, source, band/line, colors, thickness.
- **Universal** — every symbol, every timeframe.
## Notes
- The indicator is a **decision-support tool**, not an automated trading system; it does not open
or manage orders.
- Signals are based on Hull trend direction; like any moving-average tool, it performs best in
trending conditions and can whipsaw in tight ranges.
- **Past performance and indicator signals do not guarantee future results.** Always use sound risk
management.
