hma

Calculate the Hull Moving Average (HMA).

Solves the age old dilemma of making a moving average more responsive to current price activity whilst maintaining curve smoothness. In fact the HMA almost eliminates lag altogether and manages to improve smoothing at the same time.

Examples​

from openbb import obb
# Calculate HMA with historical stock data.
stock_data = obb.equity.price.historical(symbol='TSLA', start_date='2023-01-01', provider='fmp')
hma_data = obb.technical.hma(data=stock_data.results, target='close', length=50, offset=0)
