Multi-Timeframe Trend Signals with HMA, Ichimoku, and Hull MACD

Summary

This strategy combines several directional and momentum checks before opening a trade: Hull moving-average slope, comparison of daily prices across bars, the relative position of Ichimoku leading spans, and a MACD built from Hull averages. A long signal requires the bullish conditions to align, with the inverse combination used for a short. The intended effect is to favor sustained trends and reduce entries based on isolated indicator signals.

The document identifies likely limitations: restrictive filters can reduce trade frequency, indicators may lag, and ranging or volatile conditions can produce false signals. It also warns that tuning many parameters can overfit historical data and suggests adding explicit stop-loss and take-profit rules, among other possible refinements. The included script defines entry conditions but no explicit risk exits, and the text provides no backtest results to support its claims about signal quality or profitability. Performance across instruments and timeframes therefore remains unverified.

Key ideas

• Long and short entries require agreement among HMA direction, daily price comparison, Ichimoku spans, and Hull-based MACD.
• The daily comparison adds a higher-timeframe directional check to signals generated on the chart timeframe.
• The multiple filters may reduce weak signals but can also make trades less frequent.
• The strategy is designed for trends and may perform poorly in sideways or sharply fluctuating markets.
• The script specifies entries but no explicit stop-loss or take-profit rules, and no performance results are reported.
