Exponential Hull Moving Average (EHMA) for ThinkorSwim

[skynetgen]

There was a study somewhere which said that exponential hull ma is best. Here is EHMA for TOS, converted from tradingview.

#skynetgen
#exponential hull ma. from #https://www.tradingview.com/script/FOcqi6Ud-Exponential-Hull-Moving-Average-EHMA/
declare upper;
input length =13;
input price = close;

script ehma{
    input price=close; input length=13;
    #HMA = WMA(2*WMA(n/2) − WMA(n)),sqrt(n))
    #EHMA = EMA(2*EMA(n/2) − EMA(n)),sqrt(n))
    plot ehma =
     expaverage((2 * expaverage(price, length / 2))-expaverage(price, length / 2),
                round(sqrt(length)));
};

plot MVA =ehma(price,length);

MVA.DefineColor( "up", Color.UPTICK );
MVA.DefineColor( "dn", Color.DOWNTICK );
MVA.DefineColor( "def", Color.PLUM );

MVA.AssignValueColor(
    if MVA > MVA[1] then MVA.Color( "up" )
    else if MVA < MVA[1] then MVA.Color( "dn" )
    else MVA.Color( "def" ) );

p.s. Dont see anything special about it. yet Another MA.

Hmmm I tried to write an EHMA just from the formula. Seems it is different. Need to look at it closer, then will have more info.

Slight difference. Your method orange/green. My method red/green. Made it after reading th same article

Interesting. What is the formula you are using?

 

[horserider]

Could be rounding up the values. Could be I did it incorrectely.

# Exponential Hull Moving Avg by Horserider


input price = close;
input length = 100;
input displace = 0;

 
def halflength = Ceil(length / 2);
def sqrtlength = Ceil(Sqrt(length));
def val = 2 * ExpAverage(price, halflength) - ExpAverage(price, length);

plot HMA = ExpAverage(val, sqrtlength)[-displace];

HMA.SetLineWeight(2);
HMA.DefineColor("UP", Color.GREEN);
HMA.DefineColor("DOWN", Color.RED);

HMA.AssignValueColor(if HMA > HMA[1] then HMA.Color("Up") else HMA.Color("Down"));

Well it is precisely because of rounding. all in all I dont really see anything special about either of these.

These two versions both give later signals than the regular Hull MA.

Sometimes its not about late, but about less false signals. but overall I dont really see point to use it over regular HMA, considering its already built-in into TOS and supported by default

In the limited research I did, the late signals would have kept me out of the trade. I agree though that there is no point not to just use the TOS HMA.
