Hodrick Prescott Indicator
Hodrick Prescott Indicator
The Hodrick Prescott Filter (HPF) is a tool used to remove fluctuations from static economic series and for detrending. In dynamic series like FOREX quotes it will be constantly changing. The attached indicator is something like a Moving Average equivalent that shows the HPF value for a given bar so it won’t repaint.
Some of the features are:
- It shows market trend based on selectable trend strength
- It can display(or not) HPF
- It displays up to 2 bands centered on “MA” or on HPF
- MTF support
The inputs are:
- nobs: the number of HPF bars
- lambda: the dambing factor
- timeframe: the applied timeframe
- price: the price on which HPF is evaluated, same as iMA()
- delay: shows the “MA” by delaying (or advancing if negative) the HPF
- trend: selects the trend strength (how many consecutive HPF bars to check)
- future: shows HPF future bars
- bands: if >0 the number of bars for band calculation
- band#: the deviation for # band (if<0) then centered on HPF
- type#: the # band type -1=HPF 0=applied price 1=mean 2=extreme price 3=closest price 4=median 5=typical 6=weighted
- repaint: if true processes each tick
- points: if true plots up/downtrend as point on “MA”
- alerts: enable alerting
- audio: the filename of a .WAV file to be used for audio alers
- history: the number of history bars to process, 0=all history(takes time to load the indicator)
