Hull Butterfly Oscillator Indicator for MetaTrader 4 by LuxAlgo
The Hull Butterfly Oscillator Indicator for MetaTrader 4 by LuxAlgo is a momentum-focused tool designed to enhance trend analysis by highlighting shifts in strength and potential reversals. Built for the MetaTrader 4 environment, it combines Hull Moving Average dynamics with butterfly-shaped wave formations to provide a smooth, intuitive view of market momentum—without cluttering the candlestick chart.

Ideal for day traders, swing traders, and trend followers, this oscillator delivers real-time insight into bullish and bearish pressure, helping traders anticipate momentum changes before price reacts.
How the Hull Butterfly Oscillator Works
The oscillator displays a histogram of momentum bars:
- Green Rising Bars – Indicate increasing bullish momentum
- Red Falling Bars – Indicate increasing bearish momentum
Key interpretations include:
- Peaks and Declines – When green bars peak and start falling, bullish strength may be fading, signaling a potential reversal
- Deepening & Contracting Bars – On the bearish side, contraction after extremes may indicate trend exhaustion
- Divergence Detection – Differences between Price Action and oscillator behavior highlight early reversal opportunities
By smoothing price data with the Hull MA, this oscillator produces less noisy signals than traditional momentum tools like MACD or RSI, making trends and reversals easier to interpret.
Trading Applications
The Hull Butterfly Oscillator is useful for multiple strategies:
- Trend Confirmation – Assess whether momentum aligns with current price direction
- Early Reversal Detection – Spot weakening trends before price reverses
- Divergence Signals – Identify potential entry or exit points ahead of price action
- Support/Resistance Confluence – Combine with key levels for higher-probability setups
Its clear visual representation allows traders to act with confidence while maintaining a clean chart.
