The closes
The Hull average
The 16-bar Hull average is 2,382.84 and rising.
- The slope
- It has been rising for 12 bars, up 8.13 on the last bar. The last close, 2,395.20, is above it.
- How it is read
- Most traders read the colour of the slope: rising is up, falling is down, and a turn is the signal. It reacts faster than a simple average of the same length, so it turns sooner.
- Read it with care
- Fast means it also turns on noise: in a range the slope flips back and forth. It can overshoot the price after a sharp move.

Education only, not investment advice. The answer comes from the numbers you typed in, not from your account or the market. Simulated results are hypothetical and have limits: real trading has slippage, gaps, changing results and emotions. Trading leveraged products can lose money quickly, including all of it.

Less lag without the jitter
Alan Hull built his average in 2005 to cut the lag of ordinary averages. It takes a weighted average over half the period, doubles it, subtracts the weighted average over the full period, and smooths the result over the square root of the period. The doubling pushes the line toward the latest prices; the last step irons out the noise.
Compare it with a simple or exponential average in the moving average calculator, check trend strength with the ADX calculator, and size the trade with the position size calculator.
