Supertrend - Ladder ATRThis is a supertrend with slight twisted concept which can be very benefecial in strong trending markets to reduce stop loss distance and exit slightly quicker.
⬜ Concept
▶ When the instrument is trending up, regular ATR shows high values if there are big green candles. This affect the stoploss distance in regular supertrend which leads to wide stops or delayed lagging. When you are in long trade, what matters for stoploss is how much a negative candle can move within bar. Hence, using ATR derived only based on red candles is more beneficial for trailing stops on long signals. Same applies to short trades where using ATR derived from only green candles is more efficient than overall ATR.
▶ ATR will be minimal when the volatility is less and ATR will increase with volatility. That means, once you are in trade, the trailing of stoploss also will vary based on ATR (or volatility). With regular ATR and supertrend, chances of stop loss distance widening is high with increased volatility even though stoploss levels will not move down. This again poses the risk of higher drawdown during trade closure and also keeps in the trade during ranging market. To avoid this, the second trick we are using here is only to reduce the atr stoploss difference when in trade. That is, when in long trade and negative candles ATR is increasing, we will not consider that. We will consider the new ATR only if it is lesser than previous bar ATR.
Effect of these changes on the trending market is quite visual. Lets take example of USDTRY
Settings are quite simple and does not vary much from regular supertrend settings.
Supertrend
Double SupertrendThis strategy is based on a custom indicator that was created based on the Supertrend indicator. At its core, there are always 2 super trend indicators with different factors to reduce market noise (false signals).
The strategy/indicator has some parameters to improve the signals and filters.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
☑ Show Indicators
This option will enable/disable the Supertrend indicators on the chart.
☑ Length
The length will be used on the Supertrend Indicator to calculate its values.
☑ Dev Fast
The fast deviation or factor from one of the super trend indicators. This will be the leading indicator for entry signals, as well as for the exit signals.
☑ Dev Slow
The slow deviation or factor from one of the super trend indicators. This will be the confirmation indicator for entry and exit signals.
☑ Exit Type
It's possible to select from 4 options for the exit signals. Exit signals always take profit target.
☑ ⥹ Reversals
This option will make the strategy/indicator calculate the exit signals based on the difference between the given period's highest and lowest candle value (see Period on this list). It's displayed on the chart with the cross. As it's possible to verify in the image below, there are multiple exit spots for every entry.
☑ ⥹ ATR
Using ATR as a base indicator for exit signals will make the strategy/indicator place limit/stop orders. Candle High + ATR for longs, Candle Low - ATR for shorts. The strategy will show the ATR level for take profit and stick with it until the next signal. This way, the take profit value remains based on the candle of the entry signal.
☑ ⥹ Fast Supertrend
With this option selected, the exit signals will be based on the Fast Supertsignal value, mirrored to make a profit.
☑ ⥹ Slow Supertrend
With this option selected, the exit signals will be based on the Slow Supertsignal value, which is mirrored to take profit.
☑ Period
This will represent the number of candles used on the exit signals when Reversals is selected as Exit Type. It's also used to calculate the gradient used on the Fills and Supertrend signals.
☑ Multiplier
It's used on the take profit when the ATR option is selected on the Exit Type.
STRATEGY
☑ Use The Strategy
This will enable/disable the strategy to show the trades calculations.
☑ Show Use Long/Short Entries
Option to make the strategy show/use Long or Short signals. Available only if Use The Strategy is enabled
☑ Show Use Exit Long/Short
Option to make the strategy show/use Exit Long or Short signals (valid when Reversals option is selected on the Exit Type). Available only if Use The Strategy is enabled
☑ Show Use Add Long/Short
Option to make the strategy show/use Add Long or Short signals. With this option enabled, the strategy will place multiple trades in the same direction, almost the same concept as a pyramiding parameter. It's based on the Fast Supersignal when the candle fails to cross and reverses. Available only if Use The Strategy is enabled
☑ Trades Date Start/End
The date range that the strategy will check the market data and make the trades
HOW TO USE
It's very straightforward. A long signal will appear as a green arrow with a text Long below it. A short signal will appear as a red arrow with a text Short above it. It's ideal to wait for the candle to finish to validate the signal.
The exit signals are optional but give a good idea of the configuration used when backtesting. Each market and timeframe will have its own configuration for the best results. On average, sticking to ATR as an exit signal will have less risk than the other options.
☑ Entry Signals
Follow the arrows with Long/Short texts on them. Wait for the signal candle to close to validate the entry.
☑ Exit Signals
Use them to close your position or to trail stop your orders and maximize profits. Select the exit type suitable for each timeframe and market
☑ Add Entries
It's possible to increase the position following the add margin/contracts based on the Add signals. Not mandatory, but may work as reentries or late entries using the same signal.
☑ What about Stop Loss?
The stop-loss levels were not included as a separated signal because it's already in the chart. There are some possible ideas for the stop loss:
☑⥹ Candle High/Low (2nd recommend option)
When it's a Long signal from the entry signal candle, the stop loss can be the Low value of the same candle. Very tight stop loss in some cases, depending on the candle range
☑⥹ Local Top/Bottom
Selecting the local top/bottom as stop loss will give the strategy more room for false breakouts or reversals, keeping the trade open and minimizing noises. Increases the risk
☑⥹ Fast Supertrend (1st recommend option)
The fast supertrend can be used as stop-loss as well. making it a moving level and working close to trail stop management
☑⥹ Fixed Percentage
It's possible to use a fixed risk percentage for the trades, making the risk easier to control and project. Since the market volatility is not fixed, this may affect the accuracy of the trades
☑⥹ Based on the ATR (3rd recommend option)
When the exit type option ATR is selected, it will display the take profit level for that entry. Just mirror that value and put it as stop-loss, or multiply that amount by 1.5 to have more room for market noise.
EXAMPLE CONFIGURATIONS
Here are some configuration ideas for some markets (all of them are from crypto, especially futures markets)
BTCUSDT 15min - Default configuration
BTCUSDT 1h - Length 10 | Dev Fast 3 | Dev Slow 4 | Exit Type ATR | Period 50 | Multiplier 1
BTCUSDT 4h - Length 10 | Dev Fast 2 | Dev Slow 4 | Exit Type ATR | Period 50 | Multiplier 1
ETHUSDT 15min - Length 20 | Dev Fast 1 | Dev Slow 3 | Exit Type Fast Supertrend | Period 50 | Multiplier 1
IOTAUSDT 15min - Length 10 | Dev Fast 1 | Dev Slow 2 | Exit Type Slow Supertrend | Period 50 | Multiplier 1
OMGUSDT 15min - Length 10 | Dev Fast 1 | Dev Slow 4 | Exit Type Slow Supertrend | Period 50 | Multiplier 1
VETUSDT 15min - Length 10 | Dev Fast 3 | Dev Slow 4 | Exit Type Slow Supertrend | Period 50 | Multiplier 1
HOW TO FIND OTHER CONFIGURATIONS
Here are some steps to find suitable configurations
select a market and time frame
enable the Use This Strategy option on the strategy
open the strategy tester panel and select the performance summary
open the strategy configuration and go to properties
change the balance to the same price of the symbol (example: BTCUSDT 60.000, use 60.000 as balance)
go back to the inputs tab and keep changing the parameters until you see the net profit be positive and bigger than the absolute value of the drawdown
in case you can't find a suitable configuration, try other timeframes
Since the tester reflects what happened in the past candles, it's not guaranteed to give the same results. However, this indicator/Strategy can be used with other indicators as a leading signal or confirmation signal.
Close to SupertrendMany a times, we have seen that the price closing in towards supertrend reverses.
This indicator gives signal that identifies high / low of any candle if near the down / up supertrend line by a defined margin using arrow signals.
I've simply re-used readily available supertrend indicator source code and just modified it to these signals. So, almost all of the source code is not mine.
Enter the short / long position when arrow signal appears.
SL / trend reversal will be mandatorily at close of a candle above or below the supertrend line, and the supertrend changes direction.
Hope this indicator comes handy for you.
Supertrend + RSI Strategy [Alose]This strategy combines the best of both indicators (Supertrend & RSI).
As we know, Supertrend is excellent at finding changes in the market trend and thus finding the best entries, however in my opinion it has a great weakness and it is that it does not know how to find the best exit point.
For this reason I decided to combine it with the RSI that we know usually knows the highest and lowest rebound points of the price, thus managing to find the best exit point for the strategy.
The best thing about combining these 2 indicators is that our trades will obtain better profits in less time.
LONG ENTRY
When SuperTrend changes its direction and it is less than 0.
LONG EXIT
There are two ways to close the trade:
When RSI is overbought, you can choose the "Overbought Level " inside the strategy settings (Default: 72).
When SuperTrend changes its direction and it is grater than 0.
SHORT ENTRY (You can enable short entries in strategy settings)
When SuperTrend changes its direction and it is grater than 0.
LONG EXIT
There are two ways to close the trade:
When RSI is oversold, you can choose the "Oversold Level " inside the strategy settings (Default: 28).
When SuperTrend changes its direction and it is less than 0.
Multiple Indicators ScreenerA screener for multiple indicators with nice table output.
I was asked many times to update custom screener to display results in a table form. This way it looks much better.
You can play with background colors depend on values you're looking for.
In the screener, for example, I'm highlighting overbought/oversold RSI values, big ADX levels and trend of the Supertrend.
In parameters you can change settings for all indicators and change/disable tickers if 40 is too many for you.
There is only 1 function that calculates all these indicators. Potentially you can change and even add more indicators to this function.
Writing code for these kind of screener is a bit time consuming, so I even created a code generator in Python for these kind of indicators :) .
Disclaimer
Please remember that past performance may not be indicative of future results.
Due to various factors, including changing market conditions, the strategy may no longer perform as well as in historical backtesting.
This post and the script don’t provide any financial advice.
SuperTrend+ CleanedSimilar to SuperTrend+ which allows for confirmation bars.
Differences:
Limited to SMA calculation of average true range.
Can filter outlier volatility.
Can apply a standard deviation to the ATR value.
Supertrend + Stoch StrategyA strategy using ema , supertrend and stochastic .
Long entry conditions:
1. EMA 25 > EMA 50 and EMA 100 > EMA 100.
2. Supertrend indicator is green.
3. Stochastic k line cross over d line.
Long stop: the lowest price of the last k<d interval.
Long take: 1.5 times of stop.
The short conditions are opposite.
This strategy performed well in 1D timeframe of lots of cryptocurrency pairs. If you want to use it on 4H timeframe, you might need to finetune the parameters. But it is not recommended to use it on smaller timeframe due to the commission.
A Multi Pair Signal Alarm Version is also provided.
Supertrend + Stoch Strategy Multi-pair Signal AlarmBITSTAMP:BTCUSD
An entry alarm on Supertrend Stoch Strategy . It can monitor 10 trading pairs in one alarm.
Use this script on any trading pair and deploy the alarm. The alert comment shows the pair name, direction, entry point, sl/tp, and percentage of your position you should cost.
I currently use it as a signal for my grid trading.

7 Moving Averages [Plus]Moving Averages are price based, lagging (or reactive) indicators that display the average price of a security over a set period of time. A Moving Average is a good way to gauge momentum as well as to confirm trends, and define areas of support and resistance. Essentially, Moving Averages smooth out the “noise” when trying to interpret charts. Noise is made up of fluctuations of both price and volume. Because a Moving Average is a lagging indicator and reacts to events that have already happened, it is not used as a predictive indicator but as an interpretive one for confirmations and analysis.
Bollinger Bands (BB) are a widely popular technical analysis instrument created by John Bollinger. The BB consist of a band of three lines which are plotted in relation to security prices. The line in the middle is usually a Simple Moving Average (SMA) set to a period of 20 days (the type of trend line and period can be changed by the trader; however a 20 day moving average is by far the most popular). The SMA then serves as a base for the Upper and Lower Bands which are used as a way to measure volatility by observing the relationship between the Bands and price. Typically the Upper and Lower Bands are set to two standard deviations away from the SMA (The Middle Line); however the number of standard deviations can also be adjusted by the trader.
This script shows 6 moving averages and Bollinger Bands.
Features:
- Standard MA inputs.
- MA type.
- MA period.
- MA source.
- MA resolution (time frame).
- MA Offset.
- Forecasting : forcasted prices are calculated using our MAType and MASource for the MAPeriod.
- Trail: Show only candles not included in the MA calculation.
The color of MA1 depends on the chosen strategy, by default this is the 3EMA strategy. You can also select "Pivot Point Supertrend" or "Ichimoku Trend"
Added "Parabolic Stop and Reverse (PSAR)" . The PSAR is a time and price technical analysis tool primarily used to identify points of potential stops and reverses. In fact, the SAR in Parabolic SAR stands for "Stop and Reverse". The indicator's calculations create a parabola which is located below price during a Bullish Trend and above Price during a Bearish Trend.
Added "Linear Regression Channel" which can be correctly plotted on logarithmic charts. A linear regression channel consists of a median line with 2 parallel lines, above and below it, at the same distance. Those lines can be seen as support and resistance. The median line is calculated based on linear regression of the closing prices but the source can also be set to open, high or low. The height of the channel is based on the deviation of price to the median line. Extrapolating the channel forward can help to provide a bias and to find trading opportunities.
Keltner Center Of Gravity Channel ( KeltCOG )I have the ambition to create a ‘landscape’ which enables the user to see the ‘mood’ of the market about the price of an instrument, simply by looking where the candles go. Prices are a simple phenomenon , they go up or down or stay the same. This is represented quite well for the short term by a candle. I recommend to study candle patterns. Prices not only fluctuate but also trend up, down or go sideways. The user should analyze this by determining the COG (Center Of Gravity) and the ‘normal’ current range by using the historical data in a lookback period.
As a COG the center line of a Donchian Channel is often used. I.m.o. a COG should be a zone, in this channel I use the gray zone of my Donchian Fibonacci Channel, The ‘normal’ range is a multiple of Average True Range, as used in a Keltner Channel. Combining the two can give a cumbersome result, as one can see in my Keltner Fibonacci Channel. In this KeltCOG channel I solved this by not using all Fibonacci levels and by making the Keltner lines strictly parallel to the nearest COG line. To do this, I use the fact that the COG lines have horizontal stretches, there I make the Keltner lines horizontal too. Only where the COG lines change value, the Keltner lines are recalculated. This way the channel gets a very regular shape with three clear zones.
Interpretation of a chart by using the KeltCOG channel.
Overbought: If the candles go higher then the blue zone, the market is hyper enthusiast, creating an overbought situation. This is often followed by a reversion to the COG.
Uptrend: If the candles form in the blue zone, the market is enthusiast and willing to pay more.
Hopeful: If the candles form in or near the upper uncolored zone, the market is hopeful and is thinking about paying more. Sometimes prices go a little up.
Content: If the candles form in the gray zone, which represents COG, the market is happy with the current prices, so these move sideways
Disappointed: If the candles form in or near the lower uncolored zone, the market is disappointed and contemplates paying less, sometimes prices go a little down.
Downtrend: If the candles form in red zone, the market doesn’t like the instrument at all, rejects the current price and is only prepared to pay less.
Oversold: If the candles form below the red zone, the market overdoes its disgust, creating an oversold situation, often followed by a reversion to the COG.
HPH's SuperKeltnerThis indicator combines the Supertrend (to determine the main trend direction) with two Keltner channels (used for add and take profit signals) to construct a trend trading system.
These are the available settings:
General
UseTrendChange ➞ toggle trend change alerts and labels
UseAdds ➞ toggle add to position alerts and labels
UseTakeProfits ➞ toggle take profit alerts and labels
PrematureAdds ➞ toggle adding to position as soon as the add channels are left (default is false, so the add signal will only fire once the channels are re-entered)
PrematureTakeProfits ➞ toggle taking profit as soon as the tp channels are left (default is false, so the tp signal will only fire once the channels are re-entered)
Visualization
Show Add Keltner ➞ toggle display of the channels used for adding to the position
Show TP Keltner ➞ toggle display of the channels used for taking profit
Show SuperTrend ➞ toggle display of the Supertrend
Keltner
Standard Keltner channels settings except for the fact that there are two different multipliers. The Keltner TP Multiplier should generally be bigger than the Keltner Add Multiplier , as the channels are hit differently in trending markets. I recommend you to use the visualization settings to show the channels and adjust the settings to your liking.
Supertrend
Standard Supertrend settings, nothing to add here.
Alerts
Use the alert messages to customize what alert text the indicator will send. This makes it possible to use the script to automate trading bots.
By default, the alerts are sent after the candle has closed. This ensures that no repainting is happening. If you like the risk, you can toggle the corresponding WaitFor Confirmation if you wish to receive the signals earlier (max. once per bar).
Enjoy!
Multilevel ZigZag SupertrendVery much similar to :
I have slightly changed code to accommodate multiple zigzags. Also removed possibility of external source to keep it simple.
Indicator shows 2 Level zigzag based supertrends. Second zigzag used is multi level zigzag and hence, this acts as higher timeframe filter and can be considered as overall trend bias.
SuperTrend+ DuoUses two SuperTrend+ indicators to signal when a change in trend is confirmed.
By using a minor trend within the major, a pullback after a turning point can signal a more optimal entry.
See SuperTrend+ for more details.
Double CCIThe Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is a momentum oscillator used in technical analysis primarily to identify overbought and oversold levels by measuring an instrument's variations away from its statistical mean. Besides overbought/oversold levels, CCI is often used to find reversals as well as divergences. Originally, the indicator was designed to be used for identifying trends in commodities, however it is now used in a wide range of financial instruments.
There are several steps involved in calculating the CCI. The following example is for a typical 14 Period CCI:
CCI = (Typical Price - 14 Period SMA of TP) / (.015 x Mean Deviation)
Typical Price (TP) = (High + Low + Close)/3
Constant = .015
The Constant is set at .015 for scaling purposes. By including the constant, the majority of CCI values will fall within the 100 to -100 range.
Mean Deviation:
1) Subtract the most recent 14 Period Simple Moving from each typical price (TP) for the Period.
2) Sum these numbers strictly using absolute values.
3) Divide the value generated in step 2 by the total number of Periods (14 in this case).
Overbought and Oversold conditions can be used in their more traditional sense to identify future reversals . Remember true overbought/oversold thresholds values can and often do vary between instruments.
During a Bullish Trend , price crossing above the overbought threshold may indicate strong confidence in the move and price will continue to rise.
During a Bearish Trend , price crossing below the oversold threshold may indicate strong confidence in the move and price will continue to fall.
The first option is a modified CCI indicator that uses the "Arnaud Legoux Moving Average" instead of the SMA, and the source uses the VWAP instead of the HLC3. Added to this version an option to calculate CCI with different types of moving averages:
Green dots mean they are overbought
Orange dots mean they are oversold
Added a "SuperTrend Background" based on the modified CCI indicator:
Bull event = CCI crossing over the 0 line
Bear event = CCI crossing below the 0 line
Added a signal as EMA (modified CCI, signal length)
The second option is a standard CCI indicator that shows a coloured histogram of important levels, giving a good visual of the CCI levels. Added to this version is an extra coloured level +/-200 and an option to use Traditional CCI calculations according to user @JustUncleL
LEVELS:
Aqua: Greater than 200.
Lavender: Greater than 100 and less than 200.
Dark Lavender: Greater than 0 and less than 100.
Dark Coral: Less than 0 and greater than -100.
Coral: Less than -100 and greater than -200.
Light Red: Less than -200.
[blackcat] L1 Tether LineLevel: 1
Background
Omega Research proposed Tether line in June 2000. I utilized it in fast-slow line form to follow trend.
Function
Due it can provides good support and resistance, using it as "moving average" fast-slow line form can provide very stable golden cross and dead cross signal.
You can adjust parameters to fit for your trading pair and use it and compare it with Supertrend indicator.
Key Signal
Tether_fast --> Tether Fast Line.
Tether_slow --> Tether Slow Line.
Remarks
This is a Level 1 free and open source indicator.
Feedbacks are appreciated.
ZigZag SupertrendBack to my favourite supertrend. But, this time on the basis of zigzag pivots.
This is similar to forming supertrend based on pivot high lows - but instead of using pivot poitns, we are using zigzag pivots here.
Zigzag is derived using the same method as this script:
But, have removed labels and display options of zigzag. Older lines are also immediately deleted so that it can work well in lower timeframes without any error. Number of zigzaglines to be kept in memory depends on the parameter History
WaitForConfirmation option when selected only considers the confirmed zigzaglines and will ignore present zigzag line which is forming. This is not going to make much difference as the present zigzag line will be always opposite to low or high it formed and hence will not affect the stop loss levels or reversals.
WaitForClose is for supertrend determination. When checked uses close prices. If unchecked uses highs and lows for supertrend direction update.
ATR parameters allow you to set an adjustment below pivot high lows. This is required because support and resistence are often zones rather than single point. Hence, adds bit more wiggle room for trend continuation and delays frequent reversals on pullbacks.
SuperTrend+Based upon popular SuperTrend (AKA: ATR Trailing Stop) indicator with the following differences and improvements:
Defaults to using Volume-Adjusted WMA ( VAWMA ) for ATR. (Can still be configured to behave exactly like classic SuperTrend.)
Can use SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, and VAWMA instead of just SMA.
Confirmation close bars for avoiding false breaks.
Details:
If the confirmation closing bars value is greater than zero (default of two bars), the trend will only reverse if the price closes outside the boundary for that number of bars (does not need to be consecutive) or if the opposite side of the bar exceeds the boundary.
The confirmation bar count will reset if the trend has resumed (opposite boundary is broken).
Confirmation examples:
In a down-trend, but the previous two bars close above the boundary.
In a down-trend, but the low of the previous bar exceeds the boundary.
In a down-trend, but the high of the previous bar exceeds the boundary when confirmation bars are set to zero.
Supertrend with Percent Difference from CloseThis script improves the Supertrend indicator by displaying a label that shows the percent difference between the latest closing price & the Supertrend.
This comes in handy when one is using the Supertrend value as a stoploss level. For instance, one would like to have a maximum stop loss level of 8%. Instead of calculating how much percent the price is away from the Supertrend, one can look at the percent label & make an informed decision as to whether initiating a position would have favourable risk/reward or not.
Another utility would be selling into strength when one is using the Supertrend as a trailing stop loss. For instance, if the price is a certain percentage far away from the Supertrend, one may conclude that the price is now extended & either price correction or time correction would ensue, & decide to sell into strength.
Papercuts Super Trend MTF v02All my scripts are part of a suite called Papercuts .
This one uses one current timeframe supertrend and adds Four Automatic Higher Timeframe Supertrends based on those same parameters to help you determine larger trends while only needing a single chart. This works quite well on 5 and 15 minute charts and will look up in time. Confident trends can be identified by having two or more lines in the same direction.
When unified, the intensity of the glow should increase a trends confidence. Unify collapses the 3 highest timeframe supertrends into the first higher timeframe supertrend. Without Unify on, the overall trends are usually easier to see at just a glance. Higher timeframe supertrends can show support or resistance and act as stop loss limit ranges if you choose. Unify keeps things a bit cleaner and more compact.
V02 updated to fsecurity for no repainting and added a 3MA trend option as well.
Thanks to @Pinecoders for helping me better understand the security function!
Here is a view with Unify on....
