Should I switch the 50-Day Moving Average with 50-Day Hull Moving Average for Identifying trend?

Hull Moving Average gives signals but I think it gives too many signals and sometimes gives false signals. I already use 2 MACDs histograms for Buying and Selling signals. I just want to use this for trend identifying.

I see, 200MA is much useful than others parameter! But, it’s your choice.

When it’s in downtrend you search only for sell opportunities and viceversa or something like that?

Seems like the Hull MA is effectively a faster indicator, so maybe a 50HMA is approximate to a 45EMA or a 40SMA?

Faster MA’s give more signals, but not necessarily better accuracy, so I don’t see an obvious advantage of the Hull in trend-following. All my trades are trend-following and I always initially define trend with 20 and 50EMA’s - if the 20 is above the 50 and the 50 is sloping consistently upwards, its an uptrend, if the 20 is below and the 50 is sloping consistently downwards, its a downtrend. NB: Changes in EMA sequence and in 50 slope are not trade entry/exit signals.

After that I look at the weekly bars compared to the daily 50EMA to evaluate the opportunity - not all trends are worth the risk of following, while some I want to join right away, others I prefer to wait.

Never heard of the the Hull, I’ll check it out.

Yes mate, most of the time I would like to follow the market trend; but I don’t open my trade only based on the position of moving average tool.
