Combining Hull Averages, Ichimoku, and Donchian Levels for Trend Signals

Summary

This strategy combines two Hull moving averages with Ichimoku components and Donchian range calculations to identify directional trades. Long entries require the faster Hull measure to exceed the slower one, price to clear the slower measure and cloud-related levels, and a confirming relationship between the conversion and base lines. Short entries apply corresponding bearish filters. The description also lists indicator-based exit conditions.

The document explains the rationale for combining trend and breakout filters, but provides no performance results or comparative tests. It warns that moving-average signals can lag, parameters may be sensitive, and ranging markets can produce false breakouts and frequent trades. There is also a discrepancy between the prose and the included strategy logic: the prose describes exits triggered by any listed condition, while the source combines several conditions with an AND relationship. The proposed additions, including adaptive parameters and volatility filters, are suggestions rather than validated improvements.

Key ideas

• Two Hull moving averages provide a directional trend comparison.
• Ichimoku lines and cloud levels add trend and price-location filters to entries.
• Donchian calculations supply range-based levels used in the Ichimoku components.
• The document gives no performance evidence and warns about lag, parameter sensitivity, and range-bound markets.
• The prose and source differ on how exit conditions are combined.
