HMA V1 – Hull ATR SuperTrend with HTF Gate (Optimized for ES & N

11 ago

Overview
HMA V1 is a directional trend-following indicator designed for ES and NQ futures, combining a Hull ATR-based SuperTrend system with a Higher Timeframe HMA gate to filter entries. It can also be used on major indices and liquid stocks, but accuracy will be lower compared to ES/NQ optimization.

The indicator generates Buy and Sell signals based on the alignment of short-term price action with the higher timeframe trend filter. The logic is tuned for both scalping (more frequent signals, lower win rate) and day trading (fewer signals, higher win rate).

⸻

Signal Logic
1. Base Trend Engine:
• Uses an ATR-based Hull Moving Average (HMA) to dynamically calculate upper and lower bands for trend detection.
• Price crossing above the upper band in an uptrend = potential Buy trigger.
• Price crossing below the lower band in a downtrend = potential Sell trigger.
2. HTF HMA Gate Filter:
• All signals must pass a Higher Timeframe HMA check to confirm the broader trend direction.
• This acts as a noise filter, reducing false signals in choppy conditions.
3. Timeframe Behavior:
• Long Signals:
• Works best on 15m for day trading (higher win rate).
• 5m gives more scalping opportunities but with more false signals.
• If you want to trade longs, uncheck “Lock Long Signals to Specific Timeframe” for flexibility.
• Short Signals:
• Currently only coded to appear on 5m timeframe (bug to be fixed in future versions).
4. Partial Profit Logic (optional):
• Although not enforced in this version, the system is often used with partial profit-taking at fixed % targets and moving stops to breakeven after P1.

⸻

Best Use Practices:
• ES/NQ Futures: Best performance and most accurate filtering.
• Other Indices/Stocks: Usable but expect lower accuracy; re-tune ATR/HMA parameters for better results.
• Scalping: Use 5m for quicker entries, accept more noise.
• Day Trading: Use 15m for fewer, higher-probability setups.
• Always combine with your own market structure and higher timeframe bias for best results.

⸻

Known Bugs / Limitations:
• Long signal lock is sometimes overly restrictive — uncheck the “Lock Long Signals to Specific Timeframe” option to see more entries.
• Short signals currently only appear on the 5m timeframe.

HMA V1 is an intraday trend & risk filter tuned for ES/NQ. It blends adaptive volatility bands with a higher‑timeframe trend bias to highlight cleaner directional opportunities during regular U.S. session hours. It can be applied to other indices and liquid stocks, but it’s optimized for ES/NQ behavior.

How to use
• Scalps: 5‑minute charts surface more opportunities but with higher noise.
• Day trades: 15‑minute charts reduce noise and typically improve selectivity.
• Pair signals with your own market structure and session context.

What it shows
• Directional prompts when short‑term momentum aligns with the higher‑timeframe bias.
• Adaptive bands that reflect current volatility and help visualize trend continuation vs. potential fade zones.

Best practices
• Treat prompts as a filter/heads‑up, not a standalone system.
• Combine with liquidity levels, session ranges, and your risk plan.
• Retune parameters if you use markets outside ES/NQ.

Notes & limitations
• Long‑signal timeframe lock can be restrictive—disable it if you want to see more long prompts on both 5m/15m.
• Short prompts currently appear on 5m charts.
• This is an evaluation release and may evolve based on tester feedback.

🔔 HMA Combined Long/Short Strategy — V1.2

What’s New:
• Independent TP/SL for longs & shorts (choose % or points).
• Simplified 2-target system (TP2 = full exit).
• Smarter exits (trend-based, cutoff, stop-loss, BE for shorts).
• Optional RTH windows + morning/afternoon trade filters.
• Cleaner visuals: shaded profit/loss zones, arrows, labels, HMA band.
• Alerts for entries, exits, and partials.

Best Use:
• Stick with 15m HTF gate for longs — best win rate in the first 2 hours of the day.
• Signals can chop in consolidation without liquidity draw — avoid those conditions.
• Don’t follow entries blindly — use signals as a trade thesis and refine your own execution.
• Keep HTF + volatility gates on for shorts to filter noise.

Bottom Line:
V1.2 = cleaner signals, better risk management, and sharper visuals — but the edge comes from how you execute around them.
