TASC 2023.07 Keeping With The Larger Trend█ OVERVIEW
TASC's July 2023 edition of Traders' Tips features an article by Barbara Star titled "Stay On Track With The Supertrend Indicator". The article explores how the supertrend indicator , whether used as a standalone tool or in conjunction with other indicators, can assist traders in aligning with the larger trend. Drawing inspiration from the article, this script enhances the supertrend indicator with additional visual and analytical features, making it easier to analyze the readings and make informed trading decisions.
█ CONCEPTS
Over the past few years, the supertrend indicator has gained significant popularity among traders. Unlike moving averages, it incorporates both price and volatility information, enabling traders to navigate upward or downward trends despite occasional price disruptions.
When using the supertrend indicator, a trader may consider entering a long position when the price surpasses the supertrend line or retraces to it after the initial crossover. Similarly, for short positions, a trader could enter when the price drops below the supertrend line or retests it. Exiting these positions can be triggered by the opposite scenario, such as a price drop below the supertrend line for long positions or a price rise above the supertrend line for short positions. To assist in monitoring the distance between the price and the indicator line, this script introduces the following display features:
Breach levels, representing fractions of the most recent maximum distance.
On-chart signals indicating crossings of the highest and lowest breach levels.
An infobox displaying the average value of the maximum distance.
█ CALCULATIONS
For calculating the supertrend line, this script uses the built-in function ta.supertrend() . Additionally, the script showcases the use of state-of-the-art PineScript® functionality, including methods and tables .
Supertrend
MTF SuperTrends Nexus [DarkWaveAlgo]🧾 Description:
A nexus is a connection, link, or neuronal junction where signals and information are transmitted between different elements.
The MTF SuperTrends Nexus indicator serves as a nexus between MTF SuperTrends by facilitating the visualization of up to eight multi-timeframe SuperTrends, each with its own customizable timeframe, period, factor, and coloring customization. By combining these various SuperTrends, it helps you create a comprehensive view of MTF trend dynamics and cross-timeframe confluence according to the SuperTrend indicator.
It acts as a utility/control center that brings together multiple MTF SuperTrends and allows you to visualize the interactions between them with exceptional ease-of-use and customizability, helping to provide you with valuable insights into potential trend reversals, momentum shifts, and trading opportunities.
💡 Originality and Usefulness:
While there are other multi-timeframe SuperTrend indicators available, MTF SuperTrends Nexus' semi-transparent fills create a compounding opaqueness when SuperTrends from multiple timeframes coalesce - making visual assessment of cross-timeframe confluence extremely easy. We also believe it stands above the rest with its sheer quantity and quality of settings, features, and usability.
✔️ Re-Published to Avoid Misleading Values
This script has been re-published to ensure that it does not use `request.security()` calls using lookahead_on to access future data when referencing SuperTrend calculations from other timeframes. This decreases the likelihood that the indicator will provide deceiving values. This change has been made in accordance with the PineScript documentation: "Using barmerge.lookahead_on at timeframes higher than the chart's without offsetting the `expression` argument like in `close [ ]` will introduce future leak in scripts, as the function will then return the `close` price before it is actually known in the current context" and the Publishing Rule: "Do not use `request.security()` calls using lookahead to access future data". Historical and real-time values may differ when referencing timeframes other than the chart's.
💠 Features:
8 toggleable MTF SuperTrends with customizable timeframes, periods, and factors
Compounding filled areas for easy MTF SuperTrend confluence analysis
Aesthetic and flexible coloring and color theme styling options
End-of chart labels and options for ease-of-use and legibility

AIR Supertrend (Average Interpercentile Range)Supertrend (ST) is a popular stop loss and trend identification script. The simplicity of seeing a clean trend on a chart makes it attractive, yet it is restricted by only allowing the source, length and multiplier to be adjusted, & these tend to have a limited effect on the properties of the identified trend.
There is a wide variety of interesting ST scripts on TradingView that give the user more control, but none to my knowledge, based on measuring the statistical dispersion of Average Interpercentile Range (AIR).
Two more levels of control:
Normally, ATR Average True Range is used to calculate the range in ST. ATR is initially calculated using RMA to smooth out True Range. This script gives the user the option of changing the MA to some more interesting varieties & modifying their parameters.
The default range setting when you load the indicator on a chart will be AIR.
The real strength of the indicator, however, and the reason I am publishing it, is to release AIR. Play round with the percentile range setting. Lowering it will allow you to stay longer in a trade in a volatile market. Raising it will make it tighter.
For comparison, you can switch back the range setting to ATR and load up RMA to see how the original, classic ST plots.
Alerts are included in this version. Alway use a stop loss.
DISCLAIMER: None of this is financial advice.

Trend hunter strategy - buy & sellThe indicator combines multiple technical indicators and conditions to generate buy and sell signals.
Here's how the indicator works and how to use it:
Strategy Selection:
The indicator provides a dropdown menu to choose the type of strategy. The available options are "Pullback" and "Simple."
Supertrend Settings:
The Supertrend indicator is used to identify the trend direction.
The indicator takes two input parameters:
ATR Length: Specifies the length of the Average True Range (ATR) used in the Supertrend calculation. The default value is 10.
Factor: Specifies the factor used in the Supertrend calculation. The default value is 3.0.
EMA Settings:
The indicator also includes an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) condition.
You can enable or disable the EMA condition using the "Ema Condition On/Off" checkbox.
If enabled, the indicator calculates an EMA based on the close price.
You can specify the length of the EMA using the "Ema Length" input parameter. The default value is 200.
RSI Settings:
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator is used to generate additional conditions.
You can enable or disable the RSI condition using the "Rsi Condition On/Off" checkbox.
If enabled, the indicator calculates the RSI based on the close price.
You can specify the length of the RSI using the "Rsi Length" input parameter. The default value is 14.
Additionally, you can set the overbought and oversold levels for the RSI using the "RSI BUY Level" and "RSI SELL Level" input parameters, respectively. The default value for both is 50.
Final Conditions:
The indicator combines the Supertrend, EMA, and RSI conditions to generate buy and sell signals.
The specific conditions depend on the chosen strategy:
For the "Simple" strategy, the buy condition is when the Supertrend is in an up trend, not in a previous long position, the RSI is above the overbought level, and the close price is above the EMA.
For the "Pullback" strategy, the buy condition is when there is a cross under of the previous low with the Supertrend, the Supertrend is in an up trend, the RSI is above the overbought level, and the close price is above the EMA.
The sell conditions are the opposite of the respective buy conditions.
Backtest Period:
You can specify the start and end dates for the backtesting using the "Start calculations from" and "End calculations" inputs, respectively. The default start date is "2005-01-01" and the default end date is "2045-03-01." (this is work in progress) Still working on the table part, it is a bit tricky.
Trade Direction:
You can choose the trade direction using the "Trade Direction" input parameter. The available options are "Long," "Short," and "Both."
Depending on the selected trade direction, the indicator will generate signals accordingly.
Visual Display:
The indicator plots the Supertrend line on the price chart.
Buy signals are shown as green labels below the price bars.
Sell signals are shown as red labels above the price bars.
Adjust the input parameters according to your preferences, and then apply the indicator to a chart to see the generated signals. Please note that this indicator should be used for educational purposes only and should be thoroughly tested before using it for real trading.
Super Momentum Trend IndicatorThis is a trend momentum indicator that uses some of Ichimoku Cloud's core trading concepts and Supertrend, so before using this indicator, you can first understand Ichimoku Cloud, which is very helpful for understanding this indicator.
There are mainly the following ways to identify trends in Ichimoku Cloud.
1. The price is above or below the Tenkan-sen and the Kijun-sen
2. The Tenkan-sen crosses the Kijun-sen
3. The price breaks or falls below Leading Span B
4. Leading Span A crosses Leading Span B
I converted the above signal into the following expression (see chart):
1. Green dot: the price is above the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen
2. Red dot: the price is below Tenkan-sen and the Kijun-sen
3. Orange or blue dot: the price is between Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen
4. Triangular symbol: the Tenkan-sen crosses the Kijun-sen, and the price continues to stand firmly above or below Kijun-sen by 2 candles (prevent fake moves)
5.B1 signal: the price breaks or falls below Leading Span B
6. B2 signal: Leading Span A crosses Leading Span B (this expresses whether the color of the cloud is green or red in Ichimoku cloud)
The default for this indicator is Ichimoku Cloud turned off so that the charts are simpler, but you can turn it on if you want to check Ichimoku Cloud.
When you use this indicator, you can observe the changes of the dots:
1. The upward trend reverses to a downward trend (see chart)
What you will see is: green dots, orange dots, red dots, unless the price suddenly falls below the Tenkan-sen and the Kijun-sen, then you will see red dots directly without orange dots .
2. The downward trend reverses to an upward trend (see chart)
What you will see is: red dots, blue dots, green dots, unless the price suddenly breaks through the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen, then you will see the green dots directly without the blue dots.
The dot is usually the signal on the left-hand side, the triangle is between the left-hand side and the right-hand side, and B1/B2 is the signal on the right-hand side.
I recommend entry trades separately , and using Supertrend to judge the trend. This is why this indicator also adds two Supertrends.
Why not just use the Super Trend indicator?
Because SuperTrend only provides a pure uptrend or downtrend, it does not show the upcoming reversal.
And with the momentum dots added, when you see orange or blue dots, the trend may be about to reverse.
Therefore, this indicator can better capture the changing process of the trend.
What if the momentum dots are not trending as indicated by the SuperTrend indicator?
If the Super Trend shows a downward trend, but you frequently see green and blue dots, it means that the trend is likely to reverse upwards.
On the contrary, if the Super Trend shows an upward trend, but you frequently see red or orange dots, it means that it is likely to reverse downward.
Please remember that when you want to open a position, the trend direction of SuperTrend should be consistent with the direction of the dots momentum and signals. If they are inconsistent, you need more patience to judge the trend direction.
Which signal is most important?
When using these signals, you must remember that the dot belongs to the left-hand side signal, the triangle belongs to the half left-hand side and half right-hand side signal, and B1/B2 is the right-hand side signal. So I think the B1/B2 signal is the most important because of the meaning of B1 It means that the price has broken through the support or resistance of the cloud layer, and the meaning of B2 in Ichimoku Cloud is that the cloud (kumo) has reversed.
I backtested COINBASE:BTCUSDT for several signals of this indicator, and the B2 signal has a higher win rate.
Why two SuperTrends are used?
Because I found that there are many fake moves in the market, using two SuperTrends with different ATR multipliers can effectively identify fake moves.
Most Important Reminder:
The dot display, triangle signal, and B1/B2 signals have a sequential relationship with the timing of their appearance. During the process of trend change, you will definitely see the change of the dot first, then the triangle, and finally B1/B2, this is why I suggest that you should add positions separately.
If the signals on the chart are not displayed in sequence, it means that the trend has not reversed. Then adding positions separately at the beginning can just reduce your loss.
In addition, it is strongly recommended that you must understand the formula of Ichimoku Cloud, otherwise you may misuse this indicator.
How do I use this indicator?
1. I will build positions in batches when I see the triangle, B1, and B2 signals.
2. When you see Supertrend changing trend, or reverse triangle, you can consider ending position.
3. Triangle/B1/B2 and other signals should be in the same direction as Supertrend before entering the market.
4. When you see the green dot, you don’t need to rush to get into the market, you can wait for a triangle signal, because the triangle means that the conversion line (Tenkan-sen) crosses the base line (Kijun-sen), and the price stands firm on the base line (Kijun-sen) two candles above or below
5. If you are not sure why there is a triangle/B1/B2 signal in a certain place, you can open Ichimoku Cloud in settings to confirm for yourself.
========== 中文說明 (Chinese Explanation) ==========
這是一隻趨勢動量指標，使用了部分 Ichimoku Cloud 的核心交易理念與Supertrend，所以在使用這支指標之前，您可以先搞懂 Ichimoku Cloud，對於理解這隻指標很有幫助。
在 Ichimoku Cloud 中主要有以下幾種方式來確定趨勢。
1.價格在轉換線（Tenkan-sen）與 基準線（Kijun-sen）上方或下方
2.轉換線（Tenkan-sen）與 基準線（Kijun-sen）交叉
3.價格突破或跌破 Leading Span B
4. Leading Span A 與 Leading Span B 交叉
我將上述訊號轉換成以下表達方式（看圖）：
1.綠點：價格在轉換線（Tenkan-sen）與 基準線（Kijun-sen）之上
2.紅點：價格在轉換線（Tenkan-sen）與 基準線（Kijun-sen）之下
3.橘點或藍點：價格在轉換線（Tenkan-sen）與 基準線（Kijun-sen）之間
4.三角形符號：轉換線（Tenkan-sen）與 基準線（Kijun-sen）交叉，並且價格持續站穩 Kijun-sen 兩根K線（防止假突破）
5.B1 訊號：價格突破或跌破 Leading Span B
6.B2 訊號：Leading Span A 與 Leading Span B 交叉（這表達為雲的顏色是綠色還是紅色）
這隻指標的預設 Ichimoku Cloud 是關閉的，這樣圖表會更簡單，但如果你想檢查 Ichimoku Cloud ，可以隨時打開。
在你使用這支指標時，可以觀察圓點的變化：
1、向上趨勢反轉成向下趨勢(看圖)
你會看到的點順序是：綠點、橘點、紅點，除非價格突然跌破轉換線（Tenkan-sen）與 基準線（Kijun-sen），這時會直接看到紅點而沒有橘點。
2、向下趨勢反轉成向上趨勢（看圖）
你會看到的點順序是：紅點、藍點、綠點，除非價格突然突破轉換線（Tenkan-sen）與 基準線（Kijun-sen），這時會直接看到綠點而沒有藍點。
圓點通常是左側訊號，三角形介於左側與右側之間，而B1/B2則是右側訊號，我建議將倉位根據訊號顯示的前後順序分批下單，並且搭配 Supertrend來判斷趨勢，這也是為什麼這隻指標還加上了兩條 Supertrend 的原因。
為什麼不單純使用 Super Trend 指標？
因為 SuperTrend 只提供了單純的向上趨勢或向下趨勢，而不會顯示即將到來的反轉。
而加上動量圓點之後，當你看見橘點或藍點時，代表趨勢可能即將反轉。
因此這隻指標更能捕捉到趨勢的變化過程。
如果動量圓點跟 SuperTrend 指標顯示的趨勢不一樣怎麼辦？
如果 Super Trend 顯示向下趨勢，而你卻頻繁看到綠點跟藍點，代表趨勢很可能會向上反轉。
相反的，如果 Super Trend 顯示向上趨勢，而你卻頻繁看到紅點或橘點，代表很可能要向下反轉。
請記得，當你要建立倉位時，SuperTrend 的趨勢方向應該跟原點動量的方向是一致的，如果這兩個方向不一致，你需要更多的耐心來判別趨勢方向。
哪個訊號最重要？
使用這些訊號時必須記得，圓點屬於左側訊號，三角形屬於半左側半右側訊號，而B1/B2則是右側訊號，真的要我說的話，我認為B1/B2訊號最重要，因為B1的意義代表價格突破了雲層支撐或阻力，而B2在 Ichimoku Cloud 裡面的意義是雲朵（kumo）發生了反轉。
我針對這隻指標的幾個訊號對COINBASE:BTCUSDT進行了回測，B2訊號有較高的勝率。
為什麼使用了兩條 SuperTrend ?
因為我發現在市場經常會產生假突破，使用兩條 SuperTrend 並設置不同的 ATR 乘數，可以有效識別假突破。
最重要的提醒：
圓點的顯示、三角形訊號、B1/B2 這幾種訊號，它們出現的時間點是有順序關係的，趨勢轉變的過程，你一定會先看見圓點的變化，然後是出現三角形，最後出現B1/B2，這也是為什麼我建議你應該分批下單，如果圖表上的訊號沒有按照順序先後顯示，表示趨勢並沒有反轉，那麼一開始的分批下單，剛好可以降低你的虧損。
另外強烈建議，務必搞懂 Ichimoku Cloud 的公式，否則你可能會誤用這個指標。
我是如何使用這隻指標？
1.我會在看見三角形、B1、B2訊號時，分批建倉。
2.當你看到Supertrend改變趨勢，或是反向三角形時，可以考慮賣出。
3.三角形/B1/B2等訊號應該跟Supertrend是同一個方向時才可以進場。
4.當你看見綠點時，可以不用著急做多，可以再等一個三角形的訊號，因為三角形表示轉換線（Tenkan-sen）與 基準線（Kijun-sen）交叉，並且價格站穩在基準線（Kijun-sen）之上或之下兩天
5.如果你不確定某個地方為什麼會有三角形/B1/B2訊號，可以打在設定中打開Ichimoku Cloud自行確認。
BB Squeeze + SuperTrend + Keltner ChannelBollinger Bands and Keltner Channel are two of my favorite channels. When you use them correctly, they can bring great help to your trading.
I like to use Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels to identify when you can trade and when you can not trade, which is also known as the "squeeze".
When the opening of the Bollinger Bands is very small, it is a range that you can enter a trade, the range is called "Squeeze Zone" or "Trade zone".
When the opening of the Bollinger Bands is very large, it is a range that you cannot enter a trade, because the market fluctuates big when BB's opening is large.
I use two ways to identify when the Bollinger Bands's opening is very small or large, one is the Bollinger Bands entering Keltner Bands and one is using specific ATR ranges,. The first one allows you to identify when the market is squeezing and the second one allows you to identify when the market has entered Squeeze zone, that is, the market is already in a trading range suitable for entering a trade.(see chart.)
When the market is squeezed and you enter the trade, you can also use ATR as the stop loss price of the trade, I recommend using 2 ATR as your stop loss, and I also display them on the chart (see chart).
In addition, I also added SuperTrend to this indicator. SuperTrend is a very suitable for identifying trends. You can use SuperTrend to help you identify whether to go long or short.
This is how I use this indicator(See chart):
1.Only trade when market is in Squeeze Zone. (Thick yellow line in chart)
2.When entry a trade, use 2 ATR as stop loss. (Label in Chart)
3.Use Super trend to know to go long or short.
4.Keltner Channel helps to know when the market is squeezing. (Thin yellow line in chart.)
======== 中文說明 (Chinese Explanation) ========
Bollinger Bands（布林帶）跟 Keltner Channel（肯特納通道）是我最喜歡的兩個通道，當你正確使用它們時，它們可以替你的交易帶來非常大的幫助。
我喜歡用 Bollinger Bands 跟 Keltner Channel 來識別何時可以交易，何時不能交易，這個又稱做“擠壓操作”。當布林帶的開口很小時，便是可以交易的區間，而當布林帶的開口很大時，對我來說此時就是不可以交易的區間，因為此時市場的波動很大。
我使用兩種方式來識別當布林帶開口很小的時候，一種是布林帶進入肯特納通道，一種則使用特定的ATR範圍，前者可以讓你識別市場正在擠壓，後者則可以識別市場已經進入擠壓區間，也就是市場已經處於適合進入交易的交易區間。
當市場進入擠壓之後，而你也進入了交易，你還可以使用ATR來作為交易的止損價格，我建議使用2個ATR 來當作你的止損，而我也將他們顯示在圖表上了（見圖表）。
另外，我還在這個指標中加入了 SuperTrend（超級趨勢），SuperTrend 是一個非常適合用來辨別趨勢的指標，你可以使用 SuperTrend 來幫助你識別要做多還是做空。
這是我使用該指標的方式（見圖表）：
1.僅在市場處於交易區間時進行交易。 （圖中黃色粗線）
2.入場時，使用2個ATR作為止損。 （圖表中的標籤）
3.使用超級趨勢知道做多或做空。
4.Keltner Channel 有助於了解市場何時擠壓。 （圖表中的黃色細線。）
Supertrend - Optimised Exit We created a small script that will allow you to have a quick look into static SL/PT to choose from. This might save you time, replacing the manual search for optimal SL/PT.
We're checking signals of the strategy and computing its performance with a grid of SL/PT selected.
We used SuperTrend signals in this example, but it will be straightforward to integrate your signals.
In addition to total Return, we compute MAX Dd and Profit Factor. Other metrics can be implemented as well.
Thanks to @MUQWISHI for helping code it.

SuperBollingerTrend (Expo)█ Overview
The SuperBollingerTrend indicator is a combination of two popular technical analysis tools, Bollinger Bands, and SuperTrend. By fusing these two indicators, SuperBollingerTrend aims to provide traders with a more comprehensive view of the market, accounting for both volatility and trend direction. By combining trend identification with volatility analysis, the SuperBollingerTrend indicator provides traders with valuable insights into potential trend changes. It recognizes that high volatility levels often accompany stronger price momentum, which can result in the formation of new trends or the continuation of existing ones.
█ How Volatility Impacts Trends
Volatility can impact trends by expanding or contracting them, triggering trend reversals, leading to breakouts, and influencing risk management decisions. Traders need to analyze and monitor volatility levels in conjunction with trend analysis to gain a comprehensive understanding of market dynamics.
█ How to use
Trend Reversals: High volatility can result in more dramatic price fluctuations, which may lead to sharp trend reversals. For example, a sudden increase in volatility can cause a bullish trend to transition into a bearish one, or vice versa, as traders react to significant price swings.
Volatility Breakouts: Volatility can trigger breakouts in trends. Breakouts occur when the price breaks through a significant support or resistance level, indicating a potential shift in the trend. Higher volatility levels can increase the likelihood of breakouts, as they indicate stronger market momentum and increased buying or selling pressure. This indicator triggers when the volatility increases, and if the price is near a key level when the indicator alerts, it might trigger a great trend.
█ Features
Peak Signal Move
The indicator calculates the peak price move for each ZigZag and displays it under each signal. This highlights how much the market moved between the signals.
Average ZigZag Move
All price moves between two signals are stored, and the average or the median is calculated and displayed in a table. This gives traders a great idea of how much the market moves on average between two signals.
Take Profit
The Take Profit line is placed at the average or the median price move and gives traders a great idea of what they can expect in average profit from the latest signals.

SuperTrend Long Strategy +TrendFilterThis strategy aims to identify long (buy) opportunities in the market using the SuperTrend indicator. It utilizes the Average True Range (ATR) and a multiplier to determine the dynamic support levels for entering long positions. This presentation will provide an overview of the strategy's components, explain its usage, and highlight that it focuses on long trades.
Components of the Strategy:
1. ATR Period: This input determines the period used for calculating the Average True Range (ATR). A higher value may result in smoother trend lines but may lag behind recent price changes.
2. Source (src): This input determines the price source used for calculations, with "hl2" (the average of high and low prices) set as the default.
3. ATR Multiplier: This input specifies the multiplier applied to the ATR value to determine the distance of the support levels from the source.
4. Change ATR Calculation Method: This input allows toggling between two methods of ATR calculation: the default method using atr() or a simple moving average (SMA) of ATR values (sma(tr, Periods)).
5. Show Buy/Sell Signals: This input enables or disables the display of buy and sell signals on the chart.
6. Highlighter On/Off: This input controls whether highlighting of up and down trends is displayed on the chart.
7. Bar Coloring On/Off: This input determines whether the bars on the chart are colored based on the trend direction.
8. The "SuperTrend Long STRATEGY" has been enhanced by incorporating a trend filter. A moving average is used as the filter to confirm the prevailing trend before executing trades. This addition effectively reduces false signals and improves the strategy's reliability, all while maintaining its original name.
Strategy Logic:
1. The strategy calculates the upper (up) and lower (dn) trend lines based on the ATR value and the chosen multiplier.
2. The trend variable keeps track of the current trend, with 1 indicating an uptrend and -1 indicating a downtrend.
3. Buy and sell signals are generated based on the change in trend direction.
4. The strategy includes an optional highlighting feature that colors the chart background based on the current trend.
5. Additionally, the bar coloring feature colors the bars based on the direction of the last trend change.
Usage:
1. ATR Period and ATR Multiplier can be adjusted based on the desired sensitivity and risk tolerance.
2. Buy and sell signals can be displayed using the Show Buy/Sell Signals input, providing clear indications of entry and exit points.
3. The Highlighter On/Off input allows users to visually identify the prevailing trend by coloring the chart background.
4. The Bar Coloring On/Off input offers a quick visual reference for the most recent trend change.
Long Strategy:
The SuperTrend Long Strategy is specifically designed to identify long (buy) opportunities. It generates buy signals when the current trend changes from a downtrend to an uptrend, indicating a potential entry point for long positions. The strategy aims to capture upward price movements and maximize profits during bullish market conditions.
The SuperTrend Long Strategy provides traders with a systematic approach to identifying long trade opportunities. By leveraging the SuperTrend indicator and dynamic support levels, this strategy aims to generate buy signals in uptrending markets. Traders can customize the inputs and utilize the visual features to adapt the strategy to their specific trading preferences.
The modification adds a trend filter to the "SuperTrend Long STRATEGY" to improve its effectiveness. The trend filter uses a moving average to confirm the prevailing trend before taking trades. This addition helps filter out false signals and enhances the strategy's reliability without changing its name.
SuperTrend with Chebyshev FilterModified Super Trend with Chebyshev Filter
The Modified Super Trend is an innovative take on the classic Super Trend indicator. This advanced version incorporates a Chebyshev filter, which significantly enhances its capabilities by reducing false signals and improving overall signal quality. In this post, we'll dive deep into the Modified Super Trend, exploring its history, the benefits of the Chebyshev filter, and how it effectively addresses the challenges associated with smoothing, delay, and noise.
History of the Super Trend
The Super Trend indicator, developed by Olivier Seban, has been a popular tool among traders since its inception. It helps traders identify market trends and potential entry and exit points. The Super Trend uses average true range (ATR) and a multiplier to create a volatility-based trailing stop, providing traders with a dynamic tool that adapts to changing market conditions. However, the original Super Trend has its limitations, such as the tendency to produce false signals during periods of low volatility or sideways trading.
The Chebyshev Filter
The Chebyshev filter is a powerful mathematical tool that makes an excellent addition to the Super Trend indicator. It effectively addresses the issues of smoothing, delay, and noise associated with traditional moving averages. Chebyshev filters are named after Pafnuty Chebyshev, a renowned Russian mathematician who made significant contributions to the field of approximation theory.
The Chebyshev filter is capable of producing smoother, more responsive moving averages without introducing additional lag. This is possible because the filter minimizes the worst-case error between the ideal and the actual frequency response. There are two types of Chebyshev filters: Type I and Type II. Type I Chebyshev filters are designed to have an equiripple response in the passband, while Type II Chebyshev filters have an equiripple response in the stopband. The Modified Super Trend allows users to choose between these two types based on their preferences.
Overcoming the Challenges
The Modified Super Trend addresses several challenges associated with the original Super Trend:
Smoothing: The Chebyshev filter produces a smoother moving average without introducing additional lag. This feature is particularly beneficial during periods of low volatility or sideways trading, as it reduces the number of false signals.
Delay: The Chebyshev filter helps minimize the delay between price action and the generated signal, allowing traders to make timely decisions based on more accurate information.
Noise Reduction: The Chebyshev filter's ability to minimize the worst-case error between the ideal and actual frequency response reduces the impact of noise on the generated signals. This feature is especially useful when using the true range as an offset for the price, as it helps generate more reliable signals within a reasonable time frame.
The Great Replacement
The Modified Super Trend with Chebyshev filter is an excellent replacement for the original Super Trend indicator. It offers significant improvements in terms of signal quality, responsiveness, and accuracy. By incorporating the Chebyshev filter, the Modified Super Trend effectively reduces the number of false signals during low volatility or sideways trading, making it a more reliable tool for identifying market trends and potential entry and exit points.
In-Depth Guide to the Modified Super Trend Settings
The Modified Super Trend with Chebyshev filter offers a wide range of settings that allow traders to fine-tune the indicator to suit their specific trading styles and objectives. In this section, we will discuss each setting in detail, explaining its purpose and how to use it effectively.
Source
The source setting determines the price data used for calculations. The default setting is hl2, which calculates the average of the high and low prices. You can choose other price data sources such as close, open, or ohlc4 (average of open, high, low, and close prices) based on your preference.
Up Color and Down Color
These settings control the color of the trend line when the market is in an uptrend (up_color) and a downtrend (down_color). You can customize these colors to your liking, making it easier to visually identify the current market trend.
Text Color
This setting controls the color of the text displayed on the chart when using labels to indicate trend changes. You can choose any color that contrasts well with your chart background for better readability.
Mean Length
The mean_length setting determines the length (number of bars) used for the Chebyshev moving average calculation. A shorter length will make the moving average more responsive to price changes, while a longer length will produce a smoother moving average. It is crucial to find the right balance between responsiveness and smoothness, as a too-short length may generate false signals, while a too-long length might produce lagging signals. The default value is 64, but you can experiment with different values to find the optimal setting for your trading strategy.
Mean Ripple
The mean_ripple setting influences the Chebyshev filter's ripple effect in the passband (Type I) or stopband (Type II). The ripple effect represents small oscillations in the frequency response, which can impact the moving average's smoothness. The default value is 0.01, but you can experiment with different values to find the best balance between smoothness and responsiveness.
Chebyshev Type: Type I or Type II
The style setting allows you to choose between Type I and Type II Chebyshev filters. Type I filters have an equiripple response in the passband, while Type II filters have an equiripple response in the stopband. Depending on your preference for smoothness and responsiveness, you can choose the type that best fits your trading style.
ATR Style
The atr_style setting determines the method used for calculating the Average True Range (ATR). By default (false), it uses the traditional high-low range. When set to true, it uses the absolute difference between the open and close prices. You can choose the method that works best for your trading strategy and the market you are trading.
ATR Length
The atr_length setting controls the length (number of bars) used for calculating the ATR. Similar to the mean_length, a shorter length will make the ATR more responsive to price changes, while a longer length will produce a smoother ATR. The default value is 64, but you can experiment with different values to find the optimal setting for your trading strategy.
ATR Ripple
The atr_ripple setting, like the mean_ripple, influences the ripple effect of the Chebyshev filter used in the ATR calculation. The default value is 0.05, but you can experiment with different values to find the best balance between smoothness and responsiveness.
Multiplier
The multiplier setting determines the factor by which the ATR is multiplied before being added
Super Trend Logic and Signal Optimization
The Modified Super Trend with Chebyshev filter is designed to minimize false signals and provide a clear indication of market trends. It does so by using a combination of moving averages, Average True Range (ATR), and a multiplier. In this section, we will discuss the Super Trend's logic, its ability to prevent false signals, and the early warning crosses added to the indicator.
Super Trend Logic
The Super Trend's logic is based on a combination of the Chebyshev moving average and ATR. The Chebyshev moving average is a smooth moving average that effectively filters out market noise, while the ATR is a measure of market volatility.
The Super Trend is calculated by adding or subtracting a multiple of the ATR from the Chebyshev moving average. The multiplier is a user-defined value that determines the distance between the trend line and the price action. A larger multiplier results in a wider channel, reducing the likelihood of false signals but potentially missing out on valid trend changes.
Preventing False Signals
The Super Trend is designed to minimize false signals by maintaining its trend direction until a significant change in the market occurs. In a downtrend, the trend line will only decrease in value, and in an uptrend, it will only increase. This helps prevent false signals caused by temporary price fluctuations or market noise.
When the price crosses the trend line, the Super Trend does not immediately change its direction. Instead, it employs a safety logic to ensure that the trend change is genuine. The safety logic checks if the new trend line (calculated using the updated moving average and ATR) is more extreme than the previous one. If it is, the trend line is updated; otherwise, the previous trend line is maintained. This mechanism further reduces the likelihood of false signals by ensuring that the trend line only changes when there is a significant shift in the market.
Early Warning Crosses
To provide traders with additional insight, the Modified Super Trend with Chebyshev filter includes early warning crosses. These crosses are plotted on the chart when the price crosses the trend line without the safety logic. Although these crosses do not necessarily indicate a trend change, they can serve as a valuable heads-up for traders to monitor the market closely and prepare for potential trend reversals.
In conclusion, the Modified Super Trend with Chebyshev filter offers a significant improvement over the original Super Trend indicator. By incorporating the Chebyshev filter, this modified version effectively addresses the challenges of smoothing, delay, and noise reduction while minimizing false signals. The wide range of customizable settings allows traders to tailor the indicator to their specific needs, while the inclusion of early warning crosses provides valuable insight into potential trend reversals.
Ultimately, the Modified Super Trend with Chebyshev filter is an excellent tool for traders looking to enhance their trend identification and decision-making abilities. With its advanced features, this indicator can help traders navigate volatile markets with confidence, making more informed decisions based on accurate, timely information.
Double Supertrend Entry with ADX Filter and ATR Exits/EntriesThe Double Supertrend Entry with ADX Filter and ATR Exits/Entries indicator is a custom trading strategy designed to help traders identify potential buy and sell signals in trending markets. This indicator combines the strengths of multiple technical analysis tools, enhancing the effectiveness of the overall strategy.
Key features:
Two Supertrend Indicators - The indicator includes two Supertrend indicators with customizable parameters. These trend-following indicators calculate upper and lower trendlines based on the ATR and price. Buy signals are generated when the price crosses above both trendlines, and sell signals are generated when the price crosses below both trendlines.

Kitchen [ilovealgotrading]
OVERVIEW:
Kitchen is a strategy that aims to trade in the direction of the trend by using supertrend and stochRsi data by calculating at different time values.
IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS – SETTINGS:
First of all, let's understand the supertrend and stocrsi indicators.
How do you read and use Super Trend for trading ?
The price is often going upwards when it breaks the super trend line while keeping its position above the indication level.
When the market is in a bullish trend, the indicator becomes green. The indicator level will act as trendline support in such a scenario. The color of the indicator changes to red to indicate a negative trend once the price crosses the support line. The price uses the super trend level as a trendline resistance during a bearish move.
In our strategy, if our 1-hour and 4-hour supertrend lines show the up or down train in the same direction at the same time, we can assume that a train is forming here.
Why do I use the time of 1 hour and 4 hours ?
When I did a backtest from the past to the present, I discovered that the most accurate and consistent time zones are the 1 hour and 4 hour time zones.
By the way we can change our short term timeframe(1H) and long term timeframe(4H) from settings panel.
How do you read and use the Stoch-RSI Indicator?
This indicator analyzes price dynamics automatically to detect overbought and oversold locations.
The indicator includes:
- The primary line, which typically has values between 0 and 100;
- Two dynamic levels for overbought and oversold conditions.
IF our stoch-rsi indicator value has fallen below our lower boundary line, the oversold event has been observed in the price, if our stoch-rsi value breaks up our bottom line after becoming oversold, we think that the price will start the recovery phase.(The case is also true for the opposite.)
However, this does not always apply and we need additional approvals, Therefore, our 1H and 4H supertrrend indicator provides us with additional confirmation.
Buy Condition:
Our 1H(short term) and 4H(long term) supertrrend indicator, has given the buy signal(green line and yellow line), and if our stochrsi indicator has broken our oversold line up on the past 15 bars, the buy signal is formed here.
Sell Condition:
Our 1H(short term) and 4H(long term) supertrrend indicator, has given the sell signal(red line and orange line), and if our stochrsi indicator has broken our overbuy line down on the past 15 bars, the sell signal is formed here.
Stop Loss or Take Profit Conditions:
Exit Long Senerio:
All conditions are completed, the buy signal has arrived and we have entered a LONG trade, the 1-hour supertrend line follows the price rise(yellow line), if the price breaks below the 1-hour super trend line and a sell condition occurs for 1H timeframe for supertrend indcator, LONG trade will exit here.
Exit Short Senerio:
All conditions are completed, the Sell signal has arrived and we have entered a SHORT trade, the 1-hour supertrend line follows the price down(orange line), if the price breaks up the 1-hour super trend line and a buy condition occurs for 1H timeframe for supertrend indcator, SHORT trade will exit here.
What can you change in the settings panel?
1-We can set Start and End date for backtest and future alarms
2-We can set ATR length and Factor for supertrend indicator
3-We can set our short term and long term timeframe value
4-We can set StochRsi Up and Low limit to confirm buy and sell conditions
5-We can set stochrsi retroactive approval length
6-We can set stochrsi values or the length
7-We can set Dollar cost for per position
8- We can choose the direction of our positions, we can set only LONG, only SHORT or both directions.
9-IF you want to place automatic buy and sell orders with this strategy, you can paste your codes into the Long open-close or Short open-close message sections.
For example
IF you write your alert window this code {{strategy.order.alert_message}}.
When trigger Long signal you will get dynamically what you pasted here for Long Open Message
ALSO:
Please do not open trades without properly managing your risk and psychology!!!
If you have any ideas what to add to my work to add more sources or make calculations cooler, suggest in DM .
Reversal PointsHi , in this script i tried to find reversal points on big trends. For this purpose i have used Supertrend and Donchian channels. I combined both in a single indicator for finding reversal points. I am suggesting for using higher time frames like 4 hours or 1 day. It will be work in lower time frames too. But the signals will be less reliable than higher timeframes. Here is settings in this script:
New low sensitiity : this setting for donchian channels lookback. Bigger value result as less signals.
Atr Period: Period for Atr , it is for supertrend indicator in it.
Source: Source for supertrend indicator.
Atr Multiplier : Atr multiplier setting for Supertrend. Bigger value will be result as less signals.
Good luck.
Enes.
Supertrend ANY INDICATOR (RSI, MFI, CCI, etc.) + Range FilterThis indicator will generate a supertrend of your chosen configuration on any of the following indicators:
RSI
MFI
Accum/Dist
Momentum
On Balance Volume
CCI
There is also a RANGE FILTER built into the scripts so that you can smooth the indicators for the supertrend. This is an optional configuration in the settings. Also, you can change the oversold/overbought bounds in the settings (they are removed entirely for indicators without bounds).
If you find this indicator useful, please boost it and follow! I am open to suggestions for adding new indicators to this script, it's very simple to add new ones, just suggest them in the comments.
High/Low SupertrendThe High/Low supertrend uses an ATR produced from the highest and lowest points within the ATR lookback range, instead of from current highs and lows. This makes it less susceptible to false breakout attempts.
In the settings, you can choose whether you want the supertrend to calculate from the highest highs and lowest lows within the period, or the maxima of the opens and closes.
USAGE: I recommend using this supertrend as the arming mechanism to the buy or sell, instead of the trigger itself. This is because in ranging markets the supertrend will flip on the current high or current low.
Supertrend Mean Reversion Index [HODLER]This indicator was created primarily as an experiment. While the supertrend can be powerful, in many cases, the trend has already started before the time it's identified, resulting in a price decrease. After conducting my own research, I discovered that the reversal point is often more nearby during the downtrend, rather than at the beginning of the uptrend. Surprisingly, this point is always based on the average percentage below or above the supertrend. The indicator calculates these averages, usually starting below the uptrend point, and in most cases, the trend continues upward from there.
This indicator can be very useful for checking corrections. For example, setting the percentages manually to around 50-60% on BTC 1d, I am impressed by how accurate the indication is. Although there might be other more professional ways to calculate this, I still find it amusing that we can use this indicator to make these calculations as well.
To use the indicator, you will need to set the ATR length and ATR factor, which are self-explanatory. The next settings are the ATR lookback and Percentages Stored. The ATR lookback is the ladder price from which the calculation begins, and Percentages Stored is the maximum number of the highest and lowest percentages from previous data points that are stored to calculate the average percentage.
The supertrend percentage settings can be manually set to adjust your percentage up or down, but if left at 0, it will be calculated automatically based on the above-mentioned settings. You can also set an offset to slightly deviate above or below the average to yield better results. The last supertrend setting is the minimum number of bars that must be considered before checking whether the value is above or below the average.
To filter out some noise, I have added Relative Strength Index (RSI). The values above and below are determined by whether the RSI moving average is above or below certain thresholds.
Please note that this indicator was created for my own research. While it can be very accurate with the right settings, you should always use it in combination with other technical analyses to validate your entry and exit points. If you have any suggestions to improve the indicator, please let me know in the comments. I would really appreciate it!

GKD-C FDI-Adaptive Supertrend [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C FDI-Adaptive Supertrend is a Volatility/Volume module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
What is Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System"?
The Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System is a trading system built on the philosophy of the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) algorithmic trading.
What is the NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?
The NNFX (No-Nonsense Forex) trading system is a comprehensive approach to Forex trading that is designed to simplify the process and remove the confusion and complexity that often surrounds trading. The system was developed by a Forex trader who goes by the pseudonym "VP" and has gained a significant following in the Forex community.
The NNFX trading system is based on a set of rules and guidelines that help traders make objective and informed decisions. These rules cover all aspects of trading, including market analysis, trade entry, stop loss placement, and trade management.
Here are the main components of the NNFX trading system:
1. Trading Philosophy: The NNFX trading system is based on the idea that successful trading requires a comprehensive understanding of the market, objective analysis, and strict risk management. The system aims to remove subjective elements from trading and focuses on objective rules and guidelines.
2. Technical Analysis: The NNFX trading system relies heavily on technical analysis and uses a range of indicators to identify high-probability trading opportunities. The system uses a combination of trend-following and mean-reverting strategies to identify trades.
3. Market Structure: The NNFX trading system emphasizes the importance of understanding the market structure, including price action, support and resistance levels, and market cycles. The system uses a range of tools to identify the market structure, including trend lines, channels, and moving averages.
4. Trade Entry: The NNFX trading system has strict rules for trade entry. The system uses a combination of technical indicators to identify high-probability trades, and traders must meet specific criteria to enter a trade.

6. Trade Management: The NNFX trading system has specific rules for managing open trades. The system aims to minimize risk and maximize profit by using a combination of trailing stops, take profit levels, and position sizing.
Overall, the NNFX trading system is designed to be a straightforward and easy-to-follow approach to Forex trading that can be applied by traders of all skill levels.
Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the Stochastic Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Damiani Volatmeter as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 1: FDI-Adaptive Supertrend as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Williams Percent Range
Continuation: Fisher Transform
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

What is the Fractal Dimension Index?
The Fractal Dimension Index (FDI) is a measure of the complexity or irregularity of a geometric shape or pattern. It is a mathematical concept that quantifies the degree of self-similarity or self-affinity of an object at different scales. The FDI is a real number that represents the scaling behavior of an object in a particular space, and it can be used to characterize a wide range of natural and synthetic phenomena, from coastlines to fractal art.
The FDI is based on the concept of fractals, which are objects that exhibit self-similar or self-affine patterns at different scales. Fractals are characterized by their fractional dimensionality, which is a non-integer number that describes their complexity. The FDI is a measure of this fractional dimensionality, and it can be calculated using a variety of mathematical techniques, including box counting, wavelet analysis, and Fourier analysis.
In practical terms, the FDI can be used to quantify the complexity or roughness of natural surfaces, such as soil or rock, as well as the irregularity of synthetic materials, such as concrete or ceramics. It is also used in image analysis and pattern recognition to characterize the complexity of digital images and to detect patterns that are difficult to discern with traditional methods.
In forex trading, the Fractal Dimension Index (FDI) is a technical indicator used to analyze market trends and price movements. The FDI is calculated based on the fractal geometry of price charts and is used to identify support and resistance levels, as well as potential changes in trend direction.
The FDI indicator works by measuring the fractal dimensionality of price movements. Fractals are self-similar or self-affine patterns that repeat at different scales, and they can be used to identify key levels of support and resistance in the market. The FDI indicator calculates the fractal dimension of price movements over a specified time period, and it plots the result as a line on the price chart.
Traders use the FDI indicator to identify potential trend changes and to confirm trend direction. When the FDI line crosses above or below a key level, such as 1.5, it may indicate a potential trend reversal. Additionally, when the FDI line is trending in the same direction as the price, it can confirm the current trend and provide additional confidence for traders.
Overall, the Fractal Dimension Index is a technical indicator that can be used to analyze market trends and price movements in forex trading. By measuring the fractal dimensionality of price movements, traders can identify potential support and resistance levels and confirm trend direction.
What is Supertrend?
Supertrend is a popular technical indicator used in trading to identify trends in the market. It is a trend-following indicator that helps traders to identify the direction of the market trend and to enter or exit trades accordingly.
The Supertrend indicator is based on the Average True Range (ATR) and the price action of an asset. It plots a line on the price chart that follows the trend of the asset and indicates potential support and resistance levels. The Supertrend line changes its color when the trend changes, which can be used as a signal to enter or exit trades.
The Supertrend indicator is used to identify both long-term and short-term trends in the market. When the Supertrend line is above the price, it indicates a downtrend, and when it is below the price, it indicates an uptrend. Traders can use the Supertrend indicator to identify potential entry and exit points for their trades, as well as to set stop-loss orders and take-profit levels.
Supertrend is a popular indicator among traders because it is easy to use and can be applied to a variety of markets and timeframes. However, like any technical indicator, it is not perfect and can produce false signals in certain market conditions. Therefore, it is important to use the Supertrend indicator in combination with other indicators and to have a solid trading strategy in place.
What is FDI-Adaptive Supertrend?
FDI-Adaptive Supertrend uses FDI to adapt the period inputs into Supertrend to make Supertrend FDI-adaptive.

# Average True Range (ATR)
The Average True Range (ATR) is a tool used in technical analysis to measure volatility. Unlike many of today's popular indicators, the ATR is not used to indicate the direction of price. Rather, it is a metric used solely to measure volatility, especially volatility caused by price gaps or limit moves.
# Supertrend
A Super Trend is a trend following indicator similar to moving averages. It is plotted on price and the current trend can simply be determined by its placement vis-a-vis price. It is a very simple indicator and is constructed with the help of just two parameters- period and multiplier.
When we construct the Supertrend indicator strategy, the default parameters are 10 for Average True Range (ATR) and 3 for its multiplier. The average true range (ATR) plays a key role in ‘Supertrend’ as the indicator uses ATR to compute its value and it signals the degree of price volatility.

-Turn on Supertrend Profit Dashboard and spot the worst/best performing combination. You can change them to get the best performance overall.
-Backtesting Range - backtest within your desired time window. Example: 'from 01 / 01 /2020 to 01 / 01 /2023'.
-Optimizing range - you can decrease the amount of bars/data for optimizing script. This way you can keep it up to date to more recent market by selecting optimizing range to optimize it just from the recent 3-6months of data for example. Strategy before this selected range will normally trade (backtest) based on the fifth buying condition (5. Supertrend Factor) parameter in your menu (1.6 by default) if you turn this on.
*I recommend 'Optimizing Range' turned off actually, use max amount of available bars in your history for optimization script.
- Strategy is trading on the bar close without repaint. You can trade Long-Sell or Long- Short. Alerts available, insert webhook messages.
- Turn on Profit Calendar for better overview of how your strategy performs monthly/annualy
- Recommended ATR Length : 10 (default), higher timeframes usually performs good on the shorter period lengths 6-10, smaller timeframes on the larger ATR period length 10-20.
- Recommended Sources : hl2 (default Supertrend), close, hlc3, hlcc4 (when scalping/day trading and market is uptrending good, you can use 'volume' as a source, comes in handy)
- Recommended Smoothing Moving Average for ATR : We smooth the ATR calculation with moving average, traders usually use SMA as a moving average here, but you can use alternatives like EMA, HMA. Try them if this improves your results.
- Recommended TF : 15min, 30min, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 1d (low timeframes works good if you have no fees like Binance currently do on BTC for example otherwise you probably want to use 1/2h+ chart)
- Supertrend Factor parameters : pre-set Supertrend Factors are very good and common in trading world, you don't need to change them, but you can do it at free will. Traders usually use Supertrend factor of 2 or 3, use parameters around this numbers.
- Notes window : add your custom comments in or save your webhook message text inside here for later use.
- Trading Session: in a session, you have to specify the time range for every day. It will trade only within this window and close trades when it's out. Session from 9am to 5pm will look like that: 0900-1700 or 7am to 4:30pm 0700-1630. After the colon, you can specify days of the week for your trading session. 1234567 trading all days, 23456 – Monday to Friday ('1 is Sunday here'). 0000-0000:1234567 by default will trade every day nonstop. 00.00am to 00.00pm and 1234567 every day of the week for example - Cryptocurrencies.
This script is simple to use for any trader as it saves a lot of time for searching good parameters on your own. It's self-optimizing and adjusting to the markets on the go.
Fibonacci Levels Based on Supertrend [By MUQWISHI]A “ Fibonacci Levels Based on Supertrend ” indicator is supertrend indicator planned with Fibonacci retracements levels. Fibonacci retracements provides a sequence of levels starting from 0% to 100% in addition to extension levels. 0% is measured to be the initial Supertrend line, and 100% is the previous Supertrend line where it has been broken by candle. This tool could be valuable in terms of managing trades by setting targets and reducing the risk in the trend direction.

PSAR-Support ResistanceParabolic Support Resistance -PSAR SR is based on the Dynamic Reversal Points of Price. This indicator eliminates the false signals of regular Parabolic SAR (Stop and Reverse). The Price of previous SAR Reversal point is plotted as Support and Resistance. The idea is to trade only after the previous reversal point is crossed and a new candle formation above / below the support resistance lines.
Price moves sideways in between the S/R Lines mostly.
Buy and Sell Signals are based on normal P-SAR settings however this S/R must be considered. Please be aware that the indicator cannot be used as a stand alone. Please make required confirmations before going into action.
Disclaimer: Please use it at your own Risk.
Strategy Myth-Busting #12 - OSGFC+SuperTrend - [MYN]This is part of a new series we are calling "Strategy Myth-Busting" where we take open public manual trading strategies and automate them. The goal is to not only validate the authenticity of the claims but to provide an automated version for traders who wish to trade autonomously.
Our 12th one is an automated version of the "The Most Powerful Tradingview Buy Sell Signal Indicator " strategy from "Power of Trading" who doesn't make any official claims but watching how he trades with this, it on the surface looked promising. The strategy author uses this on the 15 min strategy on mostly FOREX. Unfortunately as indicated by the backtest results below, we were not able to substantiate any good positive trading metrics from this, be it Profit, Markdown, Num Of Trades etc. This does seem to do okay with some entries but perhaps adding another indicator to this to filter out more noise might make it better. At least how this strategy is presented now, this is not something I recommend anyone use.
This strategy uses a combination of 2 open-source public indicators:
SuperTrend by TradingView Internal
One-Sided Gaussian Filter w/ Channels By Loxx
The SuperTrend indicator and the One-Sided Gaussian Filter complement each other by providing a more complete and accurate picture of market trends. The SuperTrend indicator is used to identify trends. It does this by calculating a moving average of the underlying securities price and then comparing the current price to the moving average. When the current price is above the moving average, the trend is considered bullish, and when it is below, the trend is considered bearish.
The One-Sided Gaussian Filter is a mathematical tool that is used to smooth out fluctuations in financial data. It does this by removing random noise from the data, making it easier to identify patterns and trends.
When the SuperTrend indicator is used in conjunction with the One-Sided Gaussian Filter, the smoothed price data generated by the filter is used as the input for the SuperTrend calculation. This provides a more accurate representation of market trends and helps to eliminate false signals generated by short-term price movements. As a result, the SuperTrend indicator is able to more accurately identify the underlying trend in the market and provide traders with a cleaner and more reliable signal to act upon.
In summary, the SuperTrend indicator and the One-Sided Gaussian Filter complement each other by providing a more accurate and reliable representation of market trends, resulting in improved performance for traders.
