Hull Kaufman SuperTrend Cloud (HKST Cloud)

Script from: TradingViewSwingTrend following

The HKST Cloud strategy is a trend-following system utilizing a "cloud" formed by the highest and lowest values of three indicators: Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA), Hull Moving Average of KAMA, and SuperTrend. Buy signals occur when the high crosses above the cloud's upper band, and positions are closed when the price dips below the cloud's lower band. The combination of indicators aims to capture major trends while filtering out noise.
