Hull Moving Average (HMA)

Hull Moving Average — a fast-reacting moving average with reduced lag. Hull Moving Average (HMA) combines a fast reaction to price changes with minimal noise. It is calculated as the difference of two WMAs followed by smoothing. Compared to an EMA and SMA of the same period, HMA lags significantly less.

Formula:

HMA = WMA(2 * WMA(Close, n/2) - WMA(Close, n), sqrt(n))
