Hull Moving Average is a lagging trend following indicator.
Since Hull Moving Average is a trend following indicator, it therefore follows that it is used to enable trader to know the direction of the market, that is whether the market is moving upwards or moving downwards.

Hull Moving Average is based on support and resistance as well as bullish and bearish.

Hull Moving average indicator is therefore calculated using the following formula;

Hull Moving average = integer(squareroot(period) ) WMA{2* integer(period/2)WMA(price)-period WMA(PRICE)}

Since Hull moving average is a lagging trend following indicator it therefore follows that when the hull moving average indicator is moving upwards,the market will also be trending upwards while when the hull moving average indicator is trending downwards,the market will also be in a downwards trend.

Based on support and resistance, When the price rises above the hull moving average when both the market and hull moving average are in an upward movement, a reversal movement will occur thus the two will now be in a downward movement direction.

On the other hand,when the price falls below the hull moving average when both the market and the hull moving average are in a downward direction,a reversal movement will occur and the two will now be in an upward direction.This is indicated as from the candle sticks chart below;

The price in the market then falls below the hull moving average thus resulting to an upward reversal for both the market and the hull moving average.This will signal the trader to close any sell position and open a buy position since the movement will now be upward.

At point B, the market and the hull moving average were initially moving upwards.
