If you're looking to sharpen your trading strategy, the Hull Moving Average (HMA) is a tool worth considering. This dynamic indicator not only helps pinpoint market entries and exits but also provides a visual cue with its color-changing feature.

So, how does it work? It's straightforward! When prices are on the rise, the HMA line turns a vibrant violet. Conversely, when prices dip, it shifts to a striking red. This color change can occur in real-time at the current bar, but the real takeaway is the position of the price relative to the HMA line.

If the price sits below the HMA, it usually indicates a downtrend. On the flip side, if the price is above the HMA, it suggests an uptrend is in play. Keeping an eye on this can give you a solid edge in your trading decisions.

To get started with the HMA, you'll need to utilize the SmoothAlgorithms.mqh library classes. Make sure to copy this file into your terminal_data_folder\MQL5\Include directory.
