Good Day All. First time poster. Couple months as a lurker.

What an awesome thread! Starting from page 1 and reading through everything has been very beneficial.

I'm a ToS user and solely focus on the SPY trading options (simple Calls and Puts...nothing fancy because i'm still learning).

I've been following the BlackFlagSwingArms thread for some time, learning, and I was wanting to learn more about the Hull Moving average that was part of that strategy. In searching this forum it was pretty cool to find Jose's posts within this thread and learning how that code came to life. Thank you @mashume .

The question I would like to ask everyone is:
When does one use the "extended hours" on their charts? Or what makes one use the "extended hours"?

I've never really come across a clear answer/opinion.

Appreciate everyone's contribution,

~DG
 
Thanks. I was also playing with the HMA. But was not able to write the addchartbubble because my limited scripting skill. If anyone can just poste the addchartbubble code for different pivoting points would be great. Appreciate your help.
 
@mashume So idk why this isn't working but the scan is not working. Simple example SCAN for BLUE ARROW within 2 bars.. Here's the code everything is defined YET it still is not working....

Here's the code and see screenshot.

I defined EVERYTHING in the indicator like you should in the scan and it still is not working... what am I doing wrong been banging my head on the table and can not figure this out. Plz help and send the full code revised back.

you can edit the code here with codeshare - https://codeshare.io/21jlL3

Code:
input price = HL2;
input HMA_Length = 55;
input lookback = 2;

def HMA = HullMovingAvg(price = price, length = HMA_Length);
def delta = HMA[1] - HMA[lookback + 1];
def delta_per_bar = delta / lookback;
def next_bar = HMA[1] + delta_per_bar;
def concavity = if HMA > next_bar then 1 else -1;
Def turning_point = if concavity[1] != concavity then 1 else 0;

Def MA_Max = if HMA[-1] < HMA and HMA > HMA[1] then 1 else 0; # white squares
Def MA_Min = if HMA[-1] > HMA and HMA < HMA[1] then 1 else 0; # white triangles
Def sell = if turning_point and concavity == -1 then 1 else 0; # orange arrow down
Def buy = if turning_point and concavity == 1 then 1 else 0; # blue - cyan arrow up
def divergence = HMA - next_bar;

def scan = if

turning_point and concavity == 1

then 1 else 0 ;

plot sc = scan within 1 bars ;

@axlerod Perhaps, and I'm really no expert on the internals of ThinkScript by any stretch of the imagination, when you define scan you give it a value of either 1 or 0, both of which are values. In the plot for sc, scan may be returning true any time scan has a value, which is always.

Can you try either
A) then 1 else double.nan; as the then clause in def scan
or
B) plot sc = scan == 1 within 1 bars; and explicitly define sc as only when scan is 1

-mashume
 
@axlerod Because of the look-back/look-forward nature, the variable actually fired 2 candles ago so you have to scan within 2 bars.
 
@mashume THIS IS AMAZING! Sorry I can see this almost a year late, lol. Please share with me the updated shareable thinkscript link and colored watchlist link too, And since I use Fibonacci extensions to determine my take profit levels, is it possible to plot them on the code too?

the code wont work for me when trying to creat cusytom watchlist , i see an error highlighted in red, plot data=concavityDivergence () .divergence * 10000 help. Thannks
 
Hi @mashume, excellent study. I've been using it extensively the past week. I have one question - is there a way to also plot a higher timeframe HMA so as to be able to make a judgement on a lower timeframe on whether to stay in a trade longer? Even as a lower study with a series of dots with the same colours so as to be able to quickly view the state without having to switch the chart. What do you think?

I've been overlaying a higher timeframe HMA on my chart using a higher aggregationPeriod on the price but it's very choppy and very difficult to follow.

@mashume excellent work on this. Very intriguing to me and something I have been imitating just by checking one bar back for MAs... which obviously has its issues. I added the following code to the lower Divergence study... very basic no frills that shows two standard deviation bands. It is interesting to look at as a lower study. It seems to offer the best clues of a turning point when the Std Dev bands are not compressed and the divergence is close to its historical highs (obvious), but still I wonder if it could be used to fine tune this study. This is going to be my main focus going forward.

Also, you mentioned a mathematically intensive way to make the original Hull Concavity script faster by solving for the unknown variable using the source math equation for the Hull MA. Could you expand on that a bit? Much appreciated.

I am trying to figure out a way to add it and/or the Hull script to my proprietary algo script to get better entrances... will keep everyone updated on it. See below:

@mashume I can't figure out which one I took this part out of, but it's super accurate. I have used it in 1 to 5 minute time frames. I use Ma Min for buys and Ma Max for sells. I tried to set onscreen alerts fort those buy and sell spots but it doesn't work. Maybe you could take a look at it?

All - Wanted to post something that I thought may be helpful to give more information and less clutter on the upper chart. It is a script that shows the concavity colorings of different HMAs with different lengths and different aggregations that is customizable. I used OPEN as my price as I like how that won't repaint and it still backtests extremely well. Please let me know how you like the study and how you use it in trading... could be a good confirmation signal, but a lot of information there so easy to get mixed signals.

@mashume I took a stab at the math and "laborious" is putting it mildly. I tried to do a quick and dirty estimate of the price needed to turn concavity by taking the change in price used to calculate the HULL MA over the corresponding change in difference between actual & expected. Its close but running into the issue of differences in sign e.g., price goes up a minimal amount and Hull still decreases... Its definitely a fun exercise trying to figure out a lazy way to predict it.

I started writing a python notebook to do the math using sympy for symbolic equation constructon and a few (many) loops to write the equations. Got about halfway before deciding I had better things to do. Perhaps some day, when I feel really bored I may drag it back out... but there are many projects before that.

It's and interesting exercise though, and certainly sheds light on the complexities of the mathematics we use every day. Glad you had a go of it.

@mashume beautiful system you built here.
Is it possible to add VWAP as a filter for signals ?
If Hull is above vwap show Long entry signals only and if Hull is below vwap show Short entry signals only ?
 
Love the indicator, I keep it on all of my charts.

I was wondering if you've had any comments/observations about the turning points and how well they work in being Support/Resistance levels.

I've been using it on the 15m/30m charts and have noticed how often they have saved me from making a huge mistake or have given me great opportunities to enter positions. Below when the Early Dark green showed it's head and ended up bouncing off one of the previous turning points, I was able to re-enter into some Amazon puts and ride them down quite a bit.

@mashume Is it possible to get alert when MA_Max and MA_Min hits? also if possible can we get strategy buy-side MA_Min to MA_max and sell-side MA_Max to MA_min? Thank you in advance.
