Bollinger from Hull MA?

[5iver]

Hi,

Is there any way to use a Hull (or other MA) as the source for bollinger bands so they're smoothed more than the regular ones? Image attched shows a 20 period JHMA-smoothed BB from Tradestation)

Many thanks

Hi 5iver,

Thanks for your post.

Yes, the Bollinger Bands have an 'inputData' parameter, please also review this link http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...Bollinger.html

This input allows you to feed your custom MA (or HMA) value into them to arrive at the indicator in the picture you posted.

Our second NinjaScript indicator building tutorial will be of good help, it deals with 'indicator on indicator' calculations - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...verview22.html

Basically you want to calculate the HMA value first and then feed that series into the Bollinger Bands as input.

Thanks for the speedy reply :-) I'll do the homework and if I get it right I'll post a new indie in the download section.

OK, I've worked out how to change the regular Bollinger into an EMA-derived or HMA-derived set of plots, but neither of them are giving me the result I was hoping for...

Is there actually a way to add a simple smoothing factor to an SMA?

Or is there a JTHMA like there is in TS? Something that'll just iron out the kinks...?

I see there's an example of a CCI with HMA averaging that's giving the right smoothing effect, but I have no coding skills...

Any help much appreciated

Hi 5iver,

Yes, the HMA is build-in in NinjaTrader.

Please review this link here - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...verageHMA.html

Here is the code snippet you want to use for smoothing your upper Bollinger Band with a HMA with Length of 10.

Then progress the same way for the other values you need to have smoothed.
