Modified Hull Moving Average and Ichimoku Cloud Trend Strategy

Article Strategy library · Author: ChaoZhang

Summary

The document outlines a trend-following method that pairs a modified Hull Moving Average with Ichimoku components. A long entry is triggered when the Hull average crosses above the Kijun line while price is above both cloud spans; a short entry uses the opposite conditions. Positions are closed when the Hull average crosses the Kijun line against the trade. The source includes configurable Hull, Ichimoku, and cloud-displacement periods.

The rationale is that the Hull average responds more quickly than a conventional moving average, while the cloud filters trades by broader direction. These are proposed advantages rather than demonstrated findings: the document supplies no performance statistics, and its published BTC-USDT futures test covers only a short period. The strategy also has no explicit stop-loss, take-profit, or position-sizing rule in the supplied source, despite recommending risk controls as future improvements. It may generate repeated false signals in sideways markets, and results could depend substantially on parameter choices and market conditions.

Key ideas

  • The method enters when a Hull average crosses the Kijun line and price is on the matching side of the Ichimoku cloud.
  • An opposite Hull-Kijun cross closes the current position.
  • The cloud serves as a trend filter, while the modified Hull average is intended to reduce lag.
  • The document provides no performance results, and its published test covers a short interval.
  • The source lacks explicit stop-loss, profit-taking, and position-sizing rules.
