MTF Supertrend [Trading Nerd]
Trend Trading Strategy using Supertrends
Backtesting Script that uses a multitimeframeanalysis of the Supertrend Indicator. The trend direction is determind by a higher Timeframe (TF) Supertrend. The entry Signals are given by the Supertrend of the current TF. The script is NOT repainting (the script takes the previous value of the higher TF Supertrend, if the higher TF candle is not confirmed yet).
Strategy Conditions
Longs:
Shorts:
Optional:
Take Profit
On default there is no Take Profit. You can activate a Risk Reward Based Take Profit target trough the option. Also a Partial Take Profit is possible.
Stop Loss
The default Stop Loss Strategy is a Trailing Stoploss. As trailing Price the current TF Supertrend is used.
Additional
IMPORTANT: For low Timeframes and Markets with tight SL (like Forex) it requires a lower Margin Percent than default. Go to Settings->Properties and lower the required Long/Short Margin. Otherwise Trades might not be considered because of too less capital/marign. Margins can e.g. set to: 2% (Forex), 10% (Stocks), 20% (Crypto).
