Using Hull Moving Average Speed to Create a Ribbon Indicator

Summary

This brief note describes a ribbon indicator built from a variation of the Hull moving average. Instead of comparing averages with different calculation periods, it uses the variation indicator’s speed property to create a ribbon that behaves somewhat like a pair of crossing indicators. The suggested interpretation is to use the ribbon as a crossover indicator.

The note gives no formula, parameter guidance, chart examples, trading rules, or empirical results. It points to a separate explanation of the underlying Hull variation, so readers need that additional material to understand how the speed measure is calculated. No asset class, timeframe, entry or exit method, or risk controls are specified. The concept is therefore a compact description of a technical indicator rather than a tested strategy; the document provides no evidence that its crossover signals are profitable or reliable.

Key ideas

• The ribbon is based on a variation of the Hull moving average.
• It uses the Hull variation’s speed property to create a ribbon without changing the calculation period.
• The author suggests interpreting it like a crossover indicator.
• The note supplies no calculation details, settings, backtest, or evidence of trading performance.
