EzyChart 7 includes specialised indicators by Alan Hull. These indicators can be applied to your chart by clicking on the Indicators tab in the Ribbon menu and then selecting an indicator from the Alan Hull drop-down menu.

Hull Multiple Moving Average (HMMA) Indicator
The HMMA are a series of moving averages that track and filter price movements. They consist of 2 sets of exponential moving averages that allow the user to observe and compare the immediate behaviour of price activity with the long-term behaviour of the price activity. By default the HMMA will be overlayed on your current chart. You can make the chart invisible so the HMMA is easier to view, by toggling the chart on/off using the Properties screen.
Hull - Rate of Annual Return (HRoR) Indicator
This indicator is used to calculate the annual rate of return of a share given its current rate of climb or fall. It achieves this by calculating the annual increase in price activity and then dividing it by the current share price. The result is then multiplied by 100 to convert it to a percentage. By default the HRoR will be added to the bottom of the workspace in its own panel.
Hull Moving Average (HMA) Indicator
The HMA is highly responsive to changes in price activity whilst having superior smoothing over a simple moving average of the same period. Lag is reduced via a geometric solution and smoothing is achieved using nested averaging. By default the HMA will be overlayed on your current chart.
Hull Range (HRI) Indicator
This indicator consists of three lines which break a chart into 4-zones. The lines include a linear regression line known as the Central Cord, which is enveloped by an Upper and Lower Deviation line which captures the bulk of price activity. By default the HRI will be overlayed on your current chart. You can make the chart invisible so the HRI is easier to view, by toggling the chart on/off using the Properties screen.

For simplicity, the Hull indicators are pre-configured for the most common parameters and logical placement. However, they are all fully-configurable through the Properties screen.
