Trailing Stop Loss SuperTrendThe Trailing Stop Loss SuperTrend indicator is a popular technical analysis tool used by traders to identify trends and determine optimal entry and exit points in financial markets. This indicator combines elements of the SuperTrend indicator and trailing stop loss orders to provide valuable insights into market trends and potential reversals. By incorporating Average True Range (ATR) calculations, it adapts to market volatility, making it suitable for various trading strategies. Let's explore the key use cases and benefits of the Trailing Stop Loss SuperTrend indicator:
Trend Identification:
The primary purpose of the Trailing Stop Loss SuperTrend indicator is to identify market trends. It plots two lines on the chart: an upper band (referred to as the "up" line) and a lower band (referred to as the "dn" line). The direction of these bands helps traders determine the prevailing trend. When the price is above the upper band, it suggests a bullish trend, and when it is below the lower band, it indicates a bearish trend.
Entry and Exit Signals:
The Trailing Stop Loss SuperTrend indicator generates entry and exit signals based on trend changes. When the trend changes from bearish to bullish, a buy signal is triggered, indicating a potential entry point. Conversely, when the trend changes from bullish to bearish, a sell signal is generated, suggesting a possible exit or short-selling opportunity. These signals can be used in conjunction with other trading strategies or indicators to enhance trading decisions.
Trailing Stop Loss Orders:
One of the distinguishing features of the Trailing Stop Loss SuperTrend indicator is its ability to incorporate trailing stop loss orders. Traders can use the indicator's upper and lower bands as trailing stop levels to protect profits and manage risk. For example, in a bullish trend, the stop loss level can be set at the lower band, and as the price rises, the stop loss level trails along with it, locking in profits and reducing potential losses.
Volatility Adaptation:
By incorporating the ATR (Average True Range) calculation, the Trailing Stop Loss SuperTrend indicator adjusts its sensitivity to market volatility. A higher ATR multiplier widens the distance between the price and the bands, accommodating higher volatility, while a lower multiplier tightens the bands during periods of lower volatility. This adaptability makes the indicator versatile and suitable for various market conditions.
Alerts and Notifications:
The Trailing Stop Loss SuperTrend indicator provides the ability to set alerts for specific events, such as trend changes, buy signals, and sell signals. Traders can receive real-time notifications via email, SMS, or on-platform alerts, ensuring they stay informed about potential trading opportunities and important market developments.
Conclusion:
The Trailing Stop Loss SuperTrend indicator is a valuable tool for traders seeking to identify trends, generate entry and exit signals, and effectively manage risk. Its ability to adapt to market volatility and incorporate trailing stop loss orders enhances trading strategies and decision-making. By combining the SuperTrend concept with trailing stop loss functionality, this indicator provides traders with a comprehensive approach to trend analysis and risk management. Whether used in isolation or in conjunction with other indicators, the Trailing Stop Loss SuperTrend indicator offers a powerful tool for navigating the dynamic world of financial markets.

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 .
Adaptive Bull Ratio Strategy█ Overview: Why This Strategy
Most option strategies fall into two traps:
They are too rigid: A "Call Ratio Spread" works great in slow markets but gets destroyed if the market rallies hard.
They are too simple: A simple "Buy Call" suffers from time decay (Theta) if the market chops sideways.
The Adaptive Bull Ratio Strategy solves both . It is a living strategy that "shifts gears" based on price action.
It is called "Adaptive" because it morphs its structure three times during a trade. It starts conservative to harvest Time Decay, but if the market explodes upwards, it "uncaps" itself to ride the trend aggressively.
█ The Entry Philosophy: Why Supertrend?
The default setting uses the Supertrend indicator as the trigger. This is intentional:
Volatility Awareness: Supertrend adapts to market noise using ATR. In high volatility, bands widen to prevent false entries.
Trend Confirmation: Since Phase 1 involves selling options, entering "too early" against a falling market is dangerous. Supertrend forces patience, waiting for a confirmed reversal (Close > Trend Line), ensuring the momentum is actually in your favor before you commit capital.
The "Drift" Benefit: This strategy excels in markets that "drift" upwards. Supertrend identifies these trends while filtering out short-term chop.
Flexibility with External Sources:
While Supertrend is the default, the strategy is designed to be flexible. You can enable the 'Enable External Source' option in the settings to plug in any custom indicator (e.g., Moving Averages, Parabolic SAR, or a proprietary trendline).
The Golden Rule for External Sources: The script interprets a Bullish Signal whenever your External Source line is below the Close price (Ext Source < Close).
Compatibility: As long as your custom indicator behaves like a support line in an uptrend (plotting below the candles), it will work seamlessly with this strategy's logic.
█ The "Long Only" Rationale: Avoiding the Volatility Trap
Why not trade this on the short side (Puts) during crashes?
The Volatility Trap (Vega Risk): In Bull markets, Implied Volatility (IV) usually drops, helping your sold options decay faster. In Bear markets, IV explodes (panic). Selling OTM Puts during a crash is dangerous as their value skyrockets, neutralizing gains.
Velocity Risk: Bear markets crash fast ("Elevator Down"). Prices can blow through adjustment levels faster than the strategy can safely roll down, causing slippage.
Structural Skew: OTM Puts are inherently more expensive. Buying expensive ITM Puts and selling expensive OTM Puts shifts the breakeven further away, making V-shape recoveries painful.
█ How It Works & Stands Out
This strategy actively transforms risk profiles based on market movement:
Phase 1: The "Safe" Start (Entry)
Setup: Initiates a Call Ratio Spread (Buy 2 ITM, Sell 4 OTM) + Protective Puts.
Logic: Profits from sideways drift or slow rallies via Time Decay (Theta). The sold options finance the trade.
Phase 2: The "Shift" (Adjustment Level 1)
Trigger: Market moves above Leg 2 (3 OTM Call).
Action: Rolls Up the position. Exits initial legs, enters new higher legs, and adds a Short Put to finance the roll.
Impact: Aggressive. You bet the trend is strong enough to support the added downside risk of the short put.
Phase 3: The "Uncap" (Adjustment Level 2)
Trigger: Market moves above Leg 3 (4 OTM Call).
Action: Exits all Sold Calls.
Impact: Uncaps profit potential. The trade becomes a Net Long position (Long Calls + Short Puts), allowing you to ride a massive rally without a ceiling.
Phase 4: The "Lock-In" (Optional Trail Adjustment)
Trigger: The market goes parabolic (price rises X levels above Leg 3, configurable in settings).
Action (If Enabled):
Call Adj: Exits the Phase 3 calls and buys fresh 1-OTM calls (Rolling Up to lock profits).
Put Adj: Exits all Put legs (Removing downside risk completely).
Impact: Maximum Safety. This phase is about "banking" the windfall from a massive rally and leaving a smaller, risk-free runner to capture any final extension.
█ How to Start: A Quick Setup Guide
Step 1: Map Expiry Dates
Manually input your trading expiry dates in Settings -> Expiry Management.

Lot Multiplier: Default is 1. Set to 2 to double all quantities (e.g., Buy 2 becomes Buy 4).
Step 3: Understand Visuals
Entry Window (Light Blue): Strategy is scanning for new trades.
Non-Entry Window (Dark Blue): Trading blocked (Day before Expiry & Expiry Day). Only management allowed.
Green Box: Valid Late Entry Zone.
Red Dashed Line: Invalidation Level (if price touches this, no late entry).
Fuchsia Line: Trigger level for Special Trail Adjustments (Phase 4).
IMPORTANT: Broker & Technology Heads-Up:
The alerts generated by this script ({"secret": "...", "alertType": "multi_leg_order"...}) are specifically formatted for the DhanHQ webhook structure.
Dhan Users: Plug-and-play.
Other Brokers: You need middleware (NextLevelBot, Quantiply) to parse the JSON.
█ Risk Disclaimer & Advice
Trading options involves substantial risk.
The Whipsaw Risk: In Phase 2, you are Long Calls and Short Puts. A sharp reversal causes losses on both sides.
Margin: Selling options requires significant margin. Keep a 15-20% cash buffer to handle adjustments instantly.
Testing: This strategy is optimized for NIFTY Weekly Options. Effectiveness on BankNifty or Stocks is untested and may require parameter tuning.
Advice:
Backtest: Use TradingView Replay.
Paper Trade: Run for at least one expiry cycle before live deployment.
Consult: Seek professional financial advice before trading.
Practical Tips for Smooth Execution
For a new trader deploying this system, these operational tips are vital:
Capital Buffer: Do not trade at your limit. Always keep 10-15% free cash in your broker account. Adjustments (specifically Phase 2, where you sell an extra Put) require additional margin instantly. If margin is short, the order fails, and your hedge breaks.
Liquidity Awareness : The script trades "Far Deep OTM" options (Leg 4) to reduce margin. On indices like Nifty/BankNifty, this is fine. On individual stocks, these deep strikes might be illiquid. Check the option chain volume before deploying on stocks.
Trust the Process (but Verify) : While the algo drives, you are the pilot.
Check your API connection every morning.
Ensure the "Entry Window" background color on the chart matches your real-world date.
Verify that your broker executed all legs of a multi-leg order (partial fills are rare but possible).
The "Human" Stop: If major news breaks (e.g., unexpected election results, war announcements), volatility can expand faster than any algo can react. It is acceptable—and smart—to pause the strategy during known "Black Swan" events or earnings releases.
█ Timeframe Selection: The 30-Minute Standard
Critical Requirement: This indicator must be applied to a 30-minute chart.
Why?
Noise Filtering: The Supertrend logic is tuned to capture multi-day trends. Lower timeframes (5m, 15m) are full of "noise"—random fluctuations that look like trend changes but aren't.
Execution Logic (The Hybrid Engine): The script has a built-in "Dual Timeframe" architecture.
Decision Layer (30m): Uses the chart timeframe to decide when to be Bullish or Bearish.
Execution Layer (5m): Internally fetches 5-minute data to manage the how (Adjustments, Late Entries, and precise invalidation).
The Risk of Lower Timeframes: If you run the main chart on 5-minutes, you destroy this hierarchy. You will get too many signals, pay too much brokerage, and the internal logic may behave erratically.
Recommendation: Always keep your TradingView chart interval at 30m. Do not switch to lower timeframes expecting "faster" signals; you will likely just get "false" signals.
█ Testing Scope, Feedback
⚠️ Important Note on Asset Classes:
This strategy logic and the associated strike step calculations have been rigorously tested ONLY on NIFTY Index Options with Weekly Expiry.
BankNifty / Sensex / FinNifty: The volatility characteristics (ATR) and strike intervals of these instruments differ significantly from NIFTY. The effectiveness of this strategy on these other scripts has not been verified and may require different parameter tuning (e.g., strike_step or ATR Length).
Stocks: Individual stock options often lack the liquidity required for the "Deep OTM" legs, leading to potential execution failures.
We encourage traders to backtest this logic on other indices and share their findings! If you find a robust parameter set for BankNifty or observe unique behaviors on other scripts, please let us know in the comments below so we can improve the algorithm for everyone. Your feedback is appriciated.
Golden Vector Trend Orchestrator (GVTO)Golden Vector Trend Orchestrator (GVTO) is a composite trend-following strategy specifically engineered for XAUUSD (Gold) and volatile assets on H4 (4-Hour) and Daily timeframes.
This script aims to solve a common problem in trend trading: "Whipsaws in Sideways Markets." Instead of relying on a single indicator, GVTO employs a Multi-Factor Confluence System that filters out low-probability trades by requiring alignment across Trend Structure, Momentum, and Volatility.
🛠 Methodology & Logic
The strategy executes trades only when four distinct technical conditions overlap (Confluence). If any single condition is not met, the trade is filtered out to preserve capital.
1. Market Structure Filter (200 EMA)
Indicator: Exponential Moving Average (Length 200).
Logic: The 200 EMA acts as the baseline for the long-term trend regime.
Bullish Regime: Price must close above the 200 EMA.
Bearish Regime: Price must close below the 200 EMA.
Purpose: Prevents counter-trend trading against the macro direction.
2. Signal Trigger & Trailing Stop (Supertrend)
Indicator: Supertrend (ATR Length 14, Factor 3.5).
Logic: Uses Average True Range (ATR) to detect trend reversals while accounting for volatility.
Purpose: Provides the specific entry signal and acts as a dynamic trailing stop-loss to let profits run while cutting losses when the trend invalidates.
3. Volatility Gatekeeper (ADX Filter)
Indicator: Average Directional Index (Length 14).
Threshold: > 25.
Logic: A high ADX value indicates a strong trend presence, regardless of direction.
Purpose: This is the most critical filter. It prevents the strategy from entering trades during "choppy" or ranging markets (consolidation zones) where trend-following systems typically fail.
4. Momentum Confirmation (DMI)
Indicator: Directional Movement Index (DI+ and DI-).
Logic: Checks if the buying pressure (DI+) is physically stronger than selling pressure (DI-), or vice versa.
Purpose: Ensures that the price movement is backed by genuine momentum, not just a momentary price spike.
📋 How to Use This Strategy
🟢 LONG (BUY) Setup
A Buy signal is generated only when ALL of the following occur simultaneously:
Price Action: Price closes ABOVE the 200 EMA (Orange Line).
Trigger: Supertrend flips to GREEN (Bullish).
Strength: ADX is greater than 25 (Strong Trend).
Momentum: DI+ (Plus Directional Indicator) is greater than DI- (Minus).
🔴 SHORT (SELL) Setup
A Sell signal is generated only when ALL of the following occur simultaneously:
Price Action: Price closes BELOW the 200 EMA (Orange Line).
Trigger: Supertrend flips to RED (Bearish).
Strength: ADX is greater than 25 (Strong Trend).
Momentum: DI- (Minus Directional Indicator) is greater than DI+ (Plus).
🛡 Exit Strategy
Stop Loss / Take Profit: The strategy utilizes the Supertrend Line as a dynamic Trailing Stop.
Exit Long: When Supertrend turns Red.
Exit Short: When Supertrend turns Green.
Note: Traders can also use the real-time P/L Dashboard included in the script to manually secure profits based on their personal Risk:Reward ratio.
📊 Included Features
Real-Time P/L Dashboard: A table in the top-right corner displays the current trend status, ADX strength, and the Unrealized Profit/Loss % of the current active position.
Smart Labeling: Buy/Sell labels are coded to appear only on the initial entry trigger. They do not repaint and do not spam the chart if the trend continues (no pyramiding visualization).
Visual Aids: Background color changes (Green/Red) to visually represent the active trend based on the Supertrend status.
⚠️ Risk Warning & Best Practices
Asset Class: Optimized for XAUUSD (Gold) due to its high volatility nature. It also works well on Crypto (BTC, ETH) and Major Forex Pairs.
Timeframe: Highly recommended for H4 (4 Hours) or D1 (Daily). Using this on lower timeframes (M5, M15) may result in false signals due to market noise.
News Events: Automated strategies cannot predict economic news (CPI, NFP). Exercise caution or pause trading during high-impact economic releases.
Trend Tracer [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This tool builds a two-stage trend model that reacts to structure shifts while also showing how strong or weak the move is. It uses a mid-price band (from the highest high and lowest low over a lookback) and applies two Supertrend passes on top of it. The first pass smoothens the basis. The second pass refines that direction and produces the final trail used for signals. A gradient fill between the two trails uses RSI of price-to-trail distance to show when price is stretched or cooling off. The aim is to give traders a simple way to read trend alignment, pressure, and early turns without guessing.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The script starts with a mid-range basis. This is the average of the rolling highest high and lowest low. It acts as a stable structure reference instead of raw close or typical price. From there, two Supertrend layers are applied:
• The first Supertrend uses a shorter ATR period and lower factor. It reacts faster and sets the main regime.
• The second Supertrend uses a slightly longer ATR and higher factor. It filters noise, waits for confirmed continuation, and generates the signal line.
The interaction between these trails matters. The outer Supertrend provides context by defining the broader regime. The inner Supertrend provides timing by flipping earlier and marking possible shifts. The gradient fill uses RSI of (close − supertrend value) to display when price stretches away from the trail. This shows strength, exhaustion, or compression within the trend.
🟠 FEATURES
Bullish and bearish flip markers placed at recent highs/lows
Rejection signals off the trend tracer line
Alerts for bullish and bearish trend changes
🟠 USAGE
Setup : Add the script to your chart. Timeframe is flexible; lower timeframes show more flips while higher ones give cleaner swings. Adjust Length to change how wide the basis range is. Use the two ATR settings and factors to match the volatility of the market you trade.
Read the chart : When the refined trail (stv_) sits above price the regime is bearish; when below, it is bullish. The wide trail (stv) confirms the larger move. Watch the gradient fill: darker colors appear when price is stretched from the trail and lighter colors appear when the move is weakening. Flip markers ▲ or ▼ highlight the first clean shift of the refined trail.
Settings that matter : Increasing the Main Factor slows main-trend flips and filters chop. Increasing the Signal Factor delays the timing trail but reduces noise. Shortening Length makes the basis more reactive. ATR periods change how sensitive each Supertrend pass is to volatility.
SuperBandsI've been seeing a lot of volatility band indicators pop up recently, and after watching this trend for a while, I figured it was time to throw my two chips in. The original spark for this idea came years ago from RicardoSantos's Vector Flow Channel script, which used decay channels with timed events in an interesting way. That concept stuck with me, and I kept thinking about how to build something that captured the same kind of dynamic envelope behavior but with a different mathematical foundation. What I ended up with is a hybrid that takes the core logic of supertrend trailing stops, smooths them heavily with exponential moving averages, and wraps them in Donchian-style filled bands with momentum-based color gradients.
The basic mechanism here is pretty straightforward. Standard supertrend calculates a trailing stop based on ATR offset from price, then flips direction when price crosses the trail. This implementation does the same thing but adds EMA smoothing to the trail calculation itself, which removes a lot of the choppiness you get from raw supertrend during sideways periods. The smoothing period is adjustable, so you can tune how reactive versus stable you want the bands to be. Lower smoothing values make the bands track price more aggressively, higher values create wider, slower-moving envelopes that only respond to sustained directional moves.
Where this diverges from typical supertrend implementations is in the visual presentation and the separate treatment of bullish and bearish conditions. Instead of a single flipping line, you get persistent upper and lower bands that each track their own trailing stops independently. The bullish band trails below price and stays active as long as price doesn't break below it. The bearish band trails above price and remains active until price breaks above. Both bands can be visible simultaneously, which gives you a dynamic channel that adapts to volatility on both sides of price action. When price is trending strongly, one band will dominate and the other will disappear. During consolidation, both bands tend to compress toward price.
The color gradients are calculated by measuring the rate of change in each band's position and converting that delta into an angle using arctangent scaling. Steeper angles, which correspond to the band moving quickly to catch up with accelerating price, get brighter colors. Flatter angles, where the band is moving slowly or staying relatively stable, fade toward more muted tones. This gives you a visual sense of momentum within the bands themselves, not just from price movement. A rapidly brightening band often precedes expansion or breakout conditions, while fading colors suggest the trend is losing steam or entering consolidation.
The filled regions between price and each band serve a similar function to Donchian channels or Keltner bands, creating clearly defined zones that represent normal price behavior relative to recent volatility. When price hugs one band and the fill area compresses, you're in a strong directional regime. When price bounces between both bands and the fills expand, you're in a ranging environment. The transparency gradients in the fills make it easier to see when price is near the edge of the envelope versus safely inside it.
Configuration is split between bullish and bearish settings, which lets you asymmetrically tune the indicator if you find that your market or timeframe has different characteristics in uptrends versus downtrends. You can adjust ATR period, ATR multiplier, and smoothing independently for each direction. This flexibility is useful for instruments that exhibit different volatility profiles during bull and bear phases, or for strategies that want tighter trailing on longs than shorts, or vice versa.
The ATR period controls the lookback window for volatility measurement. Shorter periods make the bands react quickly to recent volatility spikes, which can be beneficial in fast-moving markets but also leads to more frequent whipsaws. Longer periods smooth out volatility estimates and create more stable bands at the cost of slower adaptation. The multiplier scales the ATR offset, directly controlling how far the bands sit from price. Smaller multipliers keep the bands tight, triggering more frequent direction changes. Larger multipliers create wider envelopes that give price more room to move without breaking the trail.
One thing to note is that this indicator doesn't generate explicit buy or sell signals in the traditional sense. It's a regime filter and envelope tool. You can use band breaks as directional cues if you want, but the primary value comes from understanding the current volatility environment and whether price is respecting or violating its recent behavioral boundaries. Pairing this with momentum oscillators or volume analysis tends to work better than treating band breaks as standalone entries.
From an implementation perspective, the supertrend state machine tracks whether each direction's trail is active, handles resets when price breaks through, and manages the EMA smoothing on the trail points themselves rather than just post-processing the supertrend output. This means the smoothing is baked into the trailing logic, which creates a different response curve than if you just applied an EMA to a standard supertrend line. The angle calculations use RMS estimation for the delta normalization range, which adapts to changing volatility and keeps the color gradients responsive across different market conditions.
What this really demonstrates is that there are endless ways to combine basic technical concepts into something that feels fresh without reinventing mathematics. ATR offsets, trailing stops, EMA smoothing, and Donchian fills are all standard building blocks, but arranging them in a particular way produces behavior that's distinct from each component alone. Whether this particular arrangement works better than other volatility band systems depends entirely on your market, timeframe, and what you're trying to accomplish. For me, it scratched the itch I had from seeing Vector Flow years ago and wanting to build something in that same conceptual space using tools I'm more comfortable with.

Bollinger Bands + Supertrend by XoediacBollinger Bands with Supertrend Indicator by Xeodiac
This script combines two powerful technical analysis tools — Bollinger Bands and the Supertrend Indicator — to provide traders with a comprehensive view of market volatility and trend direction.
Bollinger Bands: These bands consist of a middle band (the simple moving average, or SMA) and two outer bands (calculated as standard deviations away from the middle). The upper and lower bands act as dynamic support and resistance levels, expanding during high volatility and contracting during low volatility.
Supertrend Indicator: The Supertrend is a trend-following indicator that uses the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate an adaptive threshold, indicating whether the market is in an uptrend or downtrend. The indicator changes color based on the trend direction, providing clear buy and sell signals.
Features of the Script:
Volatility-based Signals : By incorporating the Bollinger Bands, the script adjusts to market volatility. Traders can identify periods of high and low volatility, helping to gauge potential price breakouts or reversals.
Trend Confirmation: The Supertrend helps confirm the trend direction, ensuring that trades are aligned with the overall market trend. Green Supertrend signals indicate an uptrend, while red signals indicate a downtrend.
Enhanced Decision-making: By using both indicators together, traders can make more informed decisions. For instance, buying opportunities are validated when the price is near the lower Bollinger Band, and the Supertrend is in a bullish phase, and vice versa for selling.
Customizable Parameters: The script allows users to customize the settings for both the Bollinger Bands and the Supertrend, enabling fine-tuning based on trading preferences or market conditions.
Ideal Use Cases:
Identifying trend reversals or continuation patterns in trending markets.
Monitoring price action during periods of low volatility for breakout opportunities.
Filtering out false signals by combining volatility with trend strength.
25-75 Percentile SuperTrend | Mattes25-75 Percentile SuperTrend | Mattes
Overview
The 25-75 Percentile SuperTrend is an advanced trend-following indicator that enhances the traditional SuperTrend concept by incorporating percentile-based smoothing. Instead of using a simple moving average or median price, this indicator calculates the 25th and 75th percentiles over a user-defined period. These percentiles act as dynamic trend levels, adjusting more responsively to price volatility while reducing noise.
How It’s Calculated
Percentile Smoothing:
The 25th percentile of the selected source (low-end smoothing).
The 75th percentile of the selected source (high-end smoothing).
SuperTrend Logic:
The upper band is set at the 75th percentile + ATR multiplier.
The lower band is set at the 25th percentile - ATR multiplier.
The trend flips when the price crosses above/below these dynamic bands.
Signal Generation :
A bullish trend occurs when price remains above the lower band.
A bearish trend occurs when price remains below the upper band.
Trend shifts are highlighted with colored bars and lines for easy visualization.
How It Differs From Traditional SuperTrend
Uses Percentiles Instead of a Moving Average:
Traditional SuperTrend relies on ATR-based offsets from a moving average.
This version replaces the moving average with percentile smoothing, which adapts better to price behavior.
Better Noise Filtering:
Since percentiles are less sensitive to outliers, this indicator reduces false signals in choppy markets.
More Adaptive to Market Conditions:
The percentile smoothing dynamically adjusts trend detection based on price distribution rather than fixed calculations.
Why It’s Useful
✅ Reduces Whipsaws: Helps minimize false breakouts by using percentile-based bands instead of traditional ATR-only bands.
✅ Works in Different Market Conditions: Effective in both trending and ranging environments due to its adaptive nature.
✅ Enhances Trend Confidence: Provides clearer signals by filtering noise more effectively than standard SuperTrend indicators.
Application Examples
Trend Following: Use it to identify strong upward or downward trends.
Stop-Loss Placement: The upper and lower bands can serve as dynamic stop-loss levels.
Breakout Confirmation: Trend flips can confirm breakout signals from other indicators.
Mean Reversion Strategy Filtering: The 25-75 range helps identify strong versus weak reversals.
Risks & Disclaimers
Not a Standalone Strategy: This indicator should be used with other confirmation tools like volume analysis, momentum oscillators, or support/resistance levels.
False Signals in Sideways Markets: Although it reduces noise, choppy markets can still generate occasional false trend flips.
Market Adaptation Required: The best parameters may vary depending on the asset and timeframe.
This indicator was heavily inspired and influenced by the IRS/viResearch Median SuperTrend, improving upon its concept by transforming its median based calculation into a more responsive & effective counterpart of its former self.
Shoutout to all my Masterclass Brothers and L4 Gs !
DAILY Supertrend + EMA Crossover with RSI FilterThis strategy is a technical trading approach that combines multiple indicators—Supertrend, Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI)—to identify and manage trades.
Core Components:
1. Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs):
Two EMAs, one with a shorter period (fast) and one with a longer period (slow), are calculated. The idea is to spot when the faster EMA crosses above or below the slower EMA. A fast EMA crossing above the slow EMA often suggests upward momentum, while crossing below suggests downward momentum.
2. Supertrend Indicator:
The Supertrend uses Average True Range (ATR) to establish dynamic support and resistance lines. These lines shift above or below price depending on the prevailing trend. When price is above the Supertrend line, the trend is considered bullish; when below, it’s considered bearish. This helps ensure that the strategy trades only in the direction of the overall trend rather than against it.
3. RSI Filter:
The RSI measures momentum. It helps avoid buying into markets that are already overbought or selling into markets that are oversold. For example, when going long (buying), the strategy only proceeds if the RSI is not too high, and when going short (selling), it only proceeds if the RSI is not too low. This filter is meant to improve the quality of the trades by reducing the chance of entering right before a reversal.
4. Time Filters:
The strategy only triggers entries during user-specified date and time ranges. This is useful if one wants to limit trading activity to certain trading sessions or periods with higher market liquidity.
5. Risk Management via ATR-based Stops and Targets:
Both stop loss and take profit levels are set as multiples of the ATR. ATR measures volatility, so when volatility is higher, both stops and profit targets adjust to give the trade more breathing room. Conversely, when volatility is low, stops and targets tighten. This dynamic approach helps maintain consistent risk management regardless of market conditions.
Overall Logic Flow:
- First, the market conditions are analyzed through EMAs, Supertrend, and RSI.
- When a buy (long) condition is met—meaning the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, the trend is bullish according to Supertrend, and RSI is below the specified “overbought” threshold—the strategy initiates or adds to a long position.
- Similarly, when a sell (short) condition is met—meaning the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA, the trend is bearish, and RSI is above the specified “oversold” threshold—it initiates or adds to a short position.
- Each position is protected by an automatically calculated stop loss and a take profit level based on ATR multiples.
Intended Result:
By blending trend detection, momentum filtering, and volatility-adjusted risk management, the strategy aims to capture moves in the primary trend direction while avoiding entries at excessively stretched prices. Allowing multiple entries can potentially amplify gains in strong trends but also increases exposure, which traders should consider in their risk management approach.
In essence, this strategy tries to ride established trends as indicated by the Supertrend and EMAs, filter out poor-quality entries using RSI, and dynamically manage trade risk through ATR-based stops and targets.
Trend Deviation strategy - BTC [IkkeOmar]Intro:
This is an example if anyone needs a push to get started with making strategies in pine script. This is an example on BTC, obviously it isn't a good strategy, and I wouldn't share my own good strategies because of alpha decay.
This strategy integrates several technical indicators to determine market trends and potential trade setups. These indicators include:
Directional Movement Index (DMI)
Bollinger Bands (BB)
Schaff Trend Cycle (STC)
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)
Momentum Indicator
Aroon Indicator
Supertrend Indicator
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
It's crucial for you guys to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each indicator and identify synergies between them to improve the strategy's effectiveness.
Indicator Settings:
DMI (Directional Movement Index):
Length: This parameter determines the number of bars used in calculating the DMI. A higher length may provide smoother results but might lag behind the actual price action.
Bollinger Bands:
Length: This parameter specifies the number of bars used to calculate the moving average for the Bollinger Bands. A longer length results in a smoother average but might lag behind the price action.
Multiplier: The multiplier determines the width of the Bollinger Bands. It scales the standard deviation of the price data. A higher multiplier leads to wider bands, indicating increased volatility, while a lower multiplier results in narrower bands, suggesting decreased volatility.
Schaff Trend Cycle (STC):
Length: This parameter defines the length of the STC calculation. A longer length may result in smoother but slower-moving signals.
Fast Length: Specifies the length of the fast moving average component in the STC calculation.
Slow Length: Specifies the length of the slow moving average component in the STC calculation.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
Fast Length: Determines the number of bars used to calculate the fast EMA (Exponential Moving Average) in the MACD.
Slow Length: Specifies the number of bars used to calculate the slow EMA in the MACD.
Signal Length: Defines the number of bars used to calculate the signal line, which is typically an EMA of the MACD line.
Momentum Indicator:
Length: This parameter sets the number of bars over which momentum is calculated. A longer length may provide smoother momentum readings but might lag behind significant price changes.
Aroon Indicator:
Length: Specifies the number of bars over which the Aroon indicator calculates its values. A longer length may result in smoother Aroon readings but might lag behind significant market movements.
Supertrend Indicator:
Trendline Length: Determines the length of the period used in the Supertrend calculation. A longer length results in a smoother trendline but might lag behind recent price changes.
Trendline Factor: Specifies the multiplier used in calculating the trendline. It affects the sensitivity of the indicator to price changes.
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
Length: This parameter sets the number of bars over which RSI calculates its values. A longer length may result in smoother RSI readings but might lag behind significant price changes.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average):
Fast EMA: Specifies the number of bars used to calculate the fast EMA. A shorter period results in a more responsive EMA to recent price changes.
Slow EMA: Determines the number of bars used to calculate the slow EMA. A longer period results in a smoother EMA but might lag behind recent price changes.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price):
Default settings are typically used for VWAP calculations, which consider the volume traded at each price level over a specific period. This indicator provides insights into the average price weighted by trading volume.
backtest range and rules:
You can specify the start date for backtesting purposes.
You can can select the desired trade direction: Long, Short, or Both.
Entry and Exit Conditions:
LONG:
DMI Cross Up: The Directional Movement Index (DMI) indicates a bullish trend when the positive directional movement (+DI) crosses above the negative directional movement (-DI).
Bollinger Bands (BB): The price is below the upper Bollinger Band, indicating a potential reversal from the upper band.
Momentum Indicator: Momentum is positive, suggesting increasing buying pressure.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): The MACD line is above the signal line, indicating bullish momentum.
Supertrend Indicator: The Supertrend indicator signals an uptrend.
Schaff Trend Cycle (STC): The STC indicates a bullish trend.
Aroon Indicator: The Aroon indicator signals a bullish trend or crossover.
When all these conditions are met simultaneously, the strategy considers it a favorable opportunity to enter a long trade.
SHORT:
DMI Cross Down: The Directional Movement Index (DMI) indicates a bearish trend when the negative directional movement (-DI) crosses above the positive directional movement (+DI).
Bollinger Bands (BB): The price is above the lower Bollinger Band, suggesting a potential reversal from the lower band.
Momentum Indicator: Momentum is negative, indicating increasing selling pressure.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): The MACD line is below the signal line, signaling bearish momentum.
Supertrend Indicator: The Supertrend indicator signals a downtrend.
Schaff Trend Cycle (STC): The STC indicates a bearish trend.
Aroon Indicator: The Aroon indicator signals a bearish trend or crossover.
When all these conditions align, the strategy considers it an opportune moment to enter a short trade.
Disclaimer:
THIS ISN'T AN OPTIMAL STRATEGY AT ALL! It was just an old project from when I started learning pine script!
The backtest doesn't promise the same results in the future, always do both in-sample and out-of-sample testing when backtesting a strategy. And make sure you forward test it as well before implementing it!
Furthermore this strategy uses both trend and mean-reversion systems, that is usually a no-go if you want to build robust trend systems .
Don't hesitate to comment if you have any questions or if you have some good notes for a beginner.
Aleem Trend Supertrend EMA Title: "Supertrend and 200 EMA Crossover Strategy"
Description:
This script is designed to provide traders with a robust and original trading strategy by combining the Supertrend indicator with a 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA). The core concept is to utilize the strengths of both indicators to determine optimal entry and exit points.
The Supertrend indicator is well-regarded for its precision in signaling trend reversals by considering the volatility of the market, as measured by the Average True Range (ATR). It is particularly useful for identifying ongoing trends and potential reversals.
The 200 EMA is a widely-used indicator that many traders look to as a determinant of the long-term trend. When the price is above the 200 EMA, the overall market sentiment is considered bullish, and when below, bearish.
By combining these two, the script generates a Buy signal under the following conditions:
When the Supertrend turns bullish (color changes from red to green) with the closing price above the 200 EMA, or
When the price crosses above the 200 EMA while the Supertrend is already green.
A Sell signal is generated when:
The Supertrend turns bearish (color changes from green to red) with the closing price below the 200 EMA, or
The price crosses below the 200 EMA while the Supertrend is already red.
To avoid repetitive signals and to maintain clarity, the script has been enhanced with a feature to prevent multiple consecutive Buy or Sell signals. Once a Buy or Sell signal is generated, the script will not produce another identical signal until an opposing signal or an exit condition is met.
Exit signals for both Buy and Sell positions are provided to indicate when the trend is weakening or reversing, based on the Supertrend's color change in relation to the 200 EMA.
This strategy is flexible and can be utilized across various time frames and asset classes. It aims to aid traders in making more informed decisions by highlighting potential reversals and continuations in the market trend.
Usage:
To use this script, traders should observe the Buy and Sell signals as potential entry points. Exit signals should be taken as prompts to close positions or to protect profits with stop-loss adjustments. As with all strategies, it's recommended to use this in conjunction with other analysis methods and to backtest thoroughly before live implementation.
Master Supertrend [Trendoscope]Are you a fan of supertrend? Me too!! Here is a supertrend indicator which provides multiple variation options to chose from.
🎲 Introduction
Supertrend is a popular technical indicator used by traders to identify potential trend reversals and determine entry and exit points in financial markets. It is a trend-following indicator that combines price and volatility to generate its signals. Generally supertrend is calculated based on ATR and multiplier value which is used for calculation of stops. In these adaptions, we look to provide few variations to classical methods.
🎲 Variations
Following variations are provided in the form of settings.
🎯 Range Type
Instead of ATR, different types of ranges can be used for stop calculation. Here is the complete list used in the script.
Plus/Minus Range - Calculates plus range and minus range for each candle and uses them for different sides of stop calculation
Ladder ATR - Based on the existing concept of Ladder ATR defined in Supertrend-Ladder-ATR
True Range - True range derived from standard function ta.tr
Standard Deviation - Standard deviation of close prices
🎯 Applied Calculation
In standard ATR, rma of TR is used for calculations. But, the application calculation provides option to users to use different mechanisms. It can be a type of moving average or few other types of calculations.
Available values are
sma
ema
hma
rma
wma
high
median
medianHigh (Highest of the last N medians)
medianLow (Lowest of the last N medians)
🎯 Other options
Few other options provided are
Use Close Price - If selected stops are calculated based on the close price instead of high/low prices
Wait for Close If selected, change of supertrend direction is calculated based on close price instead of high/low prices
Diminishing Stop Distance - When selected, stop distance for the trend direction can only reduce and cannot increase. This option is useful for keeping the tight stops on strong trends.
🎯 Plus Minus Range
One of the range type used is Plus/Minus Range. What it means and how are these ranges calculated? Let's have a look.
Plus Range is an upward movement of a candle from its last price or open price whichever is lower.
Minus Range is a downward movement of a candle from its last price or open price whichever is higher.
This divides True Range into two separate range for positive and negative side.
Here are the simple settings in nutshell which reflects the same.
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 .
[codapro] Confirmed Supertrend Flags
Confirmed Supertrend Flags — Delayed Flip Confirmation
Description:
This script enhances the classic Supertrend by adding a confirmation delay after trend flips, helping traders filter noise and avoid premature entries in volatile environments.
Key Features:
ATR-based Supertrend stop level calculation
Confirmation logic: buy/sell flags appear only after N full bars confirm the new direction
Optional Supertrend stop line for visual tracking
Fully adjustable flag size, color, label, and placement
This is ideal for swing traders, trend followers, or anyone building a system that prefers confirmation over early guessing.
How It Works:
A trend flip is detected when price closes beyond the Supertrend stop level.
The indicator waits for a set number of bars to close in the new direction.
After confirmation, a visual flag is plotted: buy below bar, short above bar.
How to Extend with Risk Management:
While this script focuses on trend confirmation visualization, you can enhance your decision-making by combining it with risk rules:
Stop Loss: Set SL just beyond the last Supertrend level before confirmation
ATR-Based Sizing: Use the same ATR value to dynamically size your position based on volatility
Fixed % Rule: Risk a fixed % of capital per confirmed flip (e.g., 1–2%)
Time-Based Exit: Exit trades that don’t follow through within N bars post confirmation
Stack with Strategy: Use this confirmation logic to trigger entries in a separate strategy script where strategy.entry() and strategy.exit() can be defined with precise risk parameters
Want a full example of how to integrate that? Let me know and I’ll turn this into a plug-and-play strategy version.

ML Adaptive SuperTrend Strategy [trade_crush]# ML Adaptive SuperTrend Strategy - User Guide
## Introduction
The **ML Adaptive SuperTrend Strategy** is a sophisticated trading tool that combines traditional trend-following logic with **Machine Learning (K-Means Clustering)** to dynamically adapt to market volatility. Unlike standard SuperTrend indicators that use a fixed ATR, this strategy analyzes historical volatility to categorize the current market into distinct clusters, providing more precise entries and exits.
>
> **Special Thanks:** This strategy is based on the innovative work of **AlgoAlpha**. You can explore their extensive library of high-quality indicators and strategies on TradingView: (www.tradingview.com).
---
## Machine Learning Engine (K-Means)
The core of this strategy is its ability to "learn" from recent market behavior.
- **K-Means Clustering**: The script takes the last $N$ bars of ATR data and runs an iterative clustering algorithm to find three "centroids" representing **High**, **Medium**, and **Low** volatility.
- **Adaptive ATR**: Based on the current volatility, the strategy selects the nearest centroid to use as the ATR value for the SuperTrend calculation. This ensures the trailing stop tightens during low volatility and widens during high volatility to avoid "noise".
---
## Key Features
### 1. Non-Repainting Signals
- **Confirm Signals**: When enabled, signals are only triggered after a bar closes. This ensures that the arrows and entries you see on the chart are permanent and reliable for backtesting.
### 2. Intelligent Risk Management
- **Multiple SL/TP Types**: Choose between **Percentage** based stops or **ATR** based stops for both Stop Loss and Take Profit.
- **Trailing Stop Loss (TSL)**:
- Supports both Percentage and ATR modes.
- **Activation Offset**: Only activates the trailing mechanism after the price has moved a certain percentage in your favor, protecting early-stage trades.
### 3. Risk-Based Position Sizing
- **Dynamic Quantity**: If enabled, the strategy automatically calculates the trade size based on your **Risk % Per Trade** and the distance to your **Stop Loss**. This ensures you never lose more than your defined risk on a single trade.
---
## User Input Guide
### SuperTrend & ML Settings
- **ATR Length**: The window used to calculate market volatility.
- **SuperTrend Factor**: The multiplier that determines the distance of the trailing stop from the price.
- **Use ML Adaptive ATR**: Toggle between the ML-enhanced logic and standard ATR.
- **Training Data Length**: How many historical bars the ML engine analyzes to find clusters.
### Risk Management
- **Stop Loss Type**: Set to Percentage, ATR, or None.
- **TS Activation Offset**: The profit buffer required before the trailing stop starts following the price.
- **Use Risk-Based Sizing**: Toggle this to let the script manage your position size automatically.
---
## How to Trade with This Strategy
1. **Monitor the Dashboard**: Check the top-right table to see which volatility cluster the market is currently in.
2. **Observe the Fills**: The adaptive fills (green/red) visualize the "breathing room" the strategy is giving the price.
3. **Execution**: The strategy enters on "ML Bullish" (Triangle Up) and "ML Bearish" (Triangle Down) signals.
4. **Exits**: The script will automatically exit based on your SL, TP, or Trailing Stop settings.

Multi-Step FlexiMA - Strategy [presentTrading]It's time to come back! hope I can not to be busy for a while.
█ Introduction and How It Is Different
The FlexiMA Variance Tracker is a unique trading strategy that calculates a series of deviations between the price (or another indicator source) and a variable-length moving average (MA). Unlike traditional strategies that use fixed-length moving averages, the length of the MA in this system varies within a defined range. The length changes dynamically based on a starting factor and an increment factor, creating a more adaptive approach to market conditions.
This strategy integrates Multi-Step Take Profit (TP) levels, allowing for partial exits at predefined price increments. It enables traders to secure profits at different stages of a trend, making it ideal for volatile markets where taking full profits at once might lead to missed opportunities if the trend continues.
BTCUSD 6hr Performance
█ Strategy, How It Works: Detailed Explanation
🔶 FlexiMA Concept
The FlexiMA (Flexible Moving Average) is at the heart of this strategy. Unlike traditional MA-based strategies where the MA length is fixed (e.g., a 50-period SMA), the FlexiMA varies its length with each iteration. This is done using a **starting factor** and an **increment factor**.
The formula for the moving average length at each iteration \(i\) is:
`MA_length_i = indicator_length * (starting_factor + i * increment_factor)`
Where:
- `indicator_length` is the user-defined base length.
- `starting_factor` is the initial multiplier of the base length.
- `increment_factor` increases the multiplier in each iteration.
Each iteration applies a **simple moving average** (SMA) to the chosen **indicator source** (e.g., HLC3) with a different length based on the above formula. The deviation between the current price and the moving average is then calculated as follows:
`deviation_i = price_current - MA_i`
These deviations are normalized using one of the following methods:
- **Max-Min normalization**:
`normalized_i = (deviation_i - min(deviations)) / range(deviations)`
- **Absolute Sum normalization**:
`normalized_i = deviation_i / sum(|deviation_i|)`
The **median** and **standard deviation (stdev)** of the normalized deviations are then calculated as follows:
`median = median(normalized deviations)`
For the standard deviation:
`stdev = sqrt((1/(N-1)) * sum((normalized_i - mean)^2))`
These values are plotted to provide a clear indication of how the price is deviating from its variable-length moving averages.
For more detail:
🔶 Multi-Step Take Profit
This strategy uses a multi-step take profit system, allowing for exits at different stages of a trade based on the percentage of price movement. Three take-profit levels are defined:
- Take Profit Level 1 (TP1): A small, quick profit level (e.g., 2%).
- Take Profit Level 2 (TP2): A medium-level profit target (e.g., 8%).
- Take Profit Level 3 (TP3): A larger, more ambitious target (e.g., 18%).
At each level, a corresponding percentage of the trade is exited:
- TP Percent 1: E.g., 30% of the position.
- TP Percent 2: E.g., 20% of the position.
- TP Percent 3: E.g., 15% of the position.
This approach ensures that profits are locked in progressively, reducing the risk of market reversals wiping out potential gains.
Local
🔶 Trade Entry and Exit Conditions
The entry and exit signals are determined by the interaction between the **SuperTrend Polyfactor Oscillator** and the **median** value of the normalized deviations:
- Long entry: The SuperTrend turns bearish, and the median value of the deviations is positive.
- Short entry: The SuperTrend turns bullish, and the median value is negative.
Similarly, trades are exited when the SuperTrend flips direction.
* The SuperTrend Toolkit is made by @EliCobra
█ Trade Direction
The strategy allows users to specify the desired trade direction:
- Long: Only long positions will be taken.
- Short: Only short positions will be taken.
- Both: Both long and short positions are allowed based on the conditions.
This flexibility allows the strategy to adapt to different market conditions and trading styles, whether you're looking to buy low and sell high, or sell high and buy low.
█ Usage
This strategy can be applied across various asset classes, including stocks, cryptocurrencies, and forex. The primary use case is to take advantage of market volatility by using a flexible moving average and multiple take-profit levels to capture profits incrementally as the market moves in your favor.
How to Use:
1. Configure the Inputs: Start by adjusting the **Indicator Length**, **Starting Factor**, and **Increment Factor** to suit your chosen asset. The defaults work well for most markets, but fine-tuning them can improve performance.
2. Set the Take Profit Levels: Adjust the three **TP levels** and their corresponding **percentages** based on your risk tolerance and the expected volatility of the market.
3. Monitor the Strategy: The SuperTrend and the FlexiMA variance tracker will provide entry and exit signals, automatically managing the positions and taking profits at the pre-set levels.
█ Default Settings
The default settings for the strategy are configured to provide a balanced approach that works across different market conditions:
Indicator Length (10):
This controls the base length for the moving average. A lower length makes the moving average more responsive to price changes, while a higher length smooths out fluctuations, making the strategy less sensitive to short-term price movements.
Starting Factor (1.0):
This determines the initial multiplier applied to the moving average length. A higher starting factor will increase the average length, making it slower to react to price changes.
Increment Factor (1.0):
This increases the moving average length in each iteration. A larger increment factor creates a wider range of moving average lengths, allowing the strategy to track both short-term and long-term trends simultaneously.
Normalization Method ('None'):
Three methods of normalization can be applied to the deviations:
- None: No normalization applied, using raw deviations.
- Max-Min: Normalizes based on the range between the maximum and minimum deviations.
- Absolute Sum: Normalizes based on the total sum of absolute deviations.
Take Profit Levels:
- TP1 (2%): A quick exit to capture small price movements.
- TP2 (8%): A medium-term profit target for stronger trends.
- TP3 (18%): A long-term target for strong price moves.
Take Profit Percentages:
- TP Percent 1 (30%): Exits 30% of the position at TP1.
- TP Percent 2 (20%): Exits 20% of the position at TP2.
- TP Percent 3 (15%): Exits 15% of the position at TP3.
Effect of Variables on Performance:
- Short Indicator Lengths: More responsive to price changes but prone to false signals.
- Higher Starting Factor: Slows down the response, useful for longer-term trend following.
- Higher Increment Factor: Widens the variability in moving average lengths, making the strategy adapt to both short-term and long-term price trends.
- Aggressive Take Profit Levels: Allows for quick profit-taking in volatile markets but may exit positions prematurely in strong trends.
The default configuration offers a moderate balance between short-term responsiveness and long-term trend capturing, suitable for most traders. However, users can adjust these variables to optimize performance based on market conditions and personal preferences.

█ Strategy, How It Works: Detailed Explanation
The "PresentTrend RMI Synergy Strategy" intricately combines the Relative Momentum Index (RMI) and a custom SuperTrend indicator to create a powerful tool for traders.
🔶 Relative Momentum Index (RMI)
The RMI is a variation of the Relative Strength Index (RSI), but instead of using price closes against itself, it measures the momentum of up and down movements in price relative to previous prices over a given period. The RMI for a period length `N` is calculated as follows:
RMI = 100 - 100/ (1 + U/D)
where:
- `U` is the average upward price change over `N` periods,
- `D` is the average downward price change over `N` periods.
The RMI oscillates between 0 and 100, with higher values indicating stronger upward momentum and lower values suggesting stronger downward momentum.
RMI = 21
RMI = 42

🔶 presentTrend Indicator
The presentTrend indicator combines the Average True Range (ATR) with a moving average to determine trend direction and dynamic support or resistance levels. The presentTrend for a period length `M` and a multiplier `F` is defined as:
- Upper Band: MA + (ATR x F)
- Lower Band: MA - (ATR x F)
where:
- `MA` is the moving average of the close price over `M` periods,
- `ATR` is the Average True Range over the same period,
- `F` is the multiplier to adjust the sensitivity.
The trend direction switches when the price crosses the presentTrend bands, signaling potential entry or exit points.
presentTrend length = 3
presentTrend length = 10

🔶 Strategy Logic
Entry Conditions:
- Long Entry: Triggered when the RMI exceeds a threshold, say 60, indicating a strong bullish momentum, and when the price is above the presentTrend, confirming an uptrend.
- Short Entry: Occurs when the RMI drops below a threshold, say 40, showing strong bearish momentum, and the price is below the present trend, indicating a downtrend.
Exit Conditions with Dynamic Trailing Stop:
- Long Exit: Initiated when the price crosses below the lower presentTrend band or when the RMI falls back towards a neutral level, suggesting a weakening of the bullish momentum.
- Short Exit: Executed when the price crosses above the upper presentTrend band or when the RMI rises towards a neutral level, indicating a reduction in bearish momentum.
Equations for Dynamic Trailing Stop:
- For Long Positions: The exit price is set at the lower SuperTrend band once the entry condition is met.
- For Short Positions: The exit price is determined by the upper SuperTrend band post-entry.
These dynamic trailing stops adjust as the market moves, providing a method to lock in profits while allowing room for the position to grow.
This strategy's strength lies in its dual analysis approach, leveraging RMI for momentum insights and presentTrend for trend direction and dynamic stops. This combination offers traders a robust framework to navigate various market conditions, aiming to capture trends early and exit positions strategically to maximize gains and minimize losses.
█ Trade Direction
The strategy provides flexibility in trade direction selection, offering "Long," "Short," or "Both" options to cater to different market conditions and trader preferences. This adaptability ensures that traders can align the strategy with their market outlook, risk tolerance, and trading goals.
█ Usage
To utilize the "PresentTrend RMI Synergy Strategy," traders should input their preferred settings in the Pine Script™ and apply the strategy to their charts. Monitoring RMI for momentum shifts and adjusting positions based on SuperTrend signals can optimize entry and exit points, enhancing potential returns while managing risk.
█ Default Settings
1. RMI Length: 21
The 21-period RMI length strikes a balance between capturing momentum and filtering out market noise, offering a medium-term outlook on market trends.
2. Super Trend Length: 7
A SuperTrend length of 7 periods is chosen for its responsiveness to price movements, providing a dynamic framework for trend identification without excessive sensitivity.
3. Super Trend Multiplier: 4.0
The multiplier of 4.0 for the SuperTrend indicator widens the trend bands, focusing on significant market moves and reducing the impact of minor fluctuations.

Targets For Overlay Indicators [LuxAlgo]The Targets For Overlay Indicators is a useful utility tool able to display targets during crossings made between the price and external indicators on the user chart. Users can display a series of two targets, one for crossover events and another one for crossunder event.
Alerts are included for the occurrence of a new target as well as for reached targets.
🔶 USAGE
In order for targets to be displayed users need to select an appropriate input source from the "Source" drop-down input setting. In the example above we apply the indicator to a volatility stop.
This can also easily be done by adding the "Targets For Overlay Indicators" script on the VStop indicator directly.
Targets can help users determine the price limit where the price might start deviating from an indication given by one or multiple indicators. In the context of trading, targets can help secure profits/reduce losses of a trade, as such this tool can be useful to evaluate/determine user take profits/stop losses.
Due to these essentially being horizontal levels, they can also serve as potential support/resistances, with breakouts potentially confirming new trends.
Users might be interested in obtaining new targets once one is reached, this can be done by enabling "New Target When Reached" in the target logic setting section, resulting in more frequent targets.
Lastly, users can restrict new target creation until current ones are reached. This can result in fewer and longer-term targets, with a higher reach rate.
🔹 Examples
The indicator can be applied to many overlay indicators that naturally produce crosses with the price, such as moving average, trailing stops, bands...etc.
Users can use trailing stops such as the SuperTrend or VStop to more easily create clean targets. Do note that certain SuperTrend scripts separate the upper and lower extremities of the SuperTrend into two different plot, which cannot be used with this tool, you may use the provided SuperTrend script below to have a compatible version with our tool:
//@version=5
indicator("SuperTrend", overlay = true)
factor = input.float(3, 'Factor', minval = 0)
atrLen = input.int(10, 'ATR Length', minval = 1)
= ta.supertrend(factor, atrLen)
plot(spt, 'SuperTrend', dir != dir ? na : dir < 0 ? #089981 : #f23645, 2)
plot(spt, 'Circles', dir > dir ? #f23645 : dir < dir ? #089981 : na, 3, plot.style_circles)
Using moving averages can produce more targets than other overlay indicators.
Users can apply the tool twice when using bands or any overlay indicator returning two outputs, using crossover targets for obtaining targets using the upper band as source and crossunder targets for targets using the lower band. We can also use the Trendlines with breaks indicator as example:
🔹 Dashboard
A dashboard is displayed on the top right of the chart, displaying the amount, reach rate of targets 1/2, and total amount.
This dashboard can be useful to evaluate the selected target distances relative to the selected conditions, with a higher reach rate suggesting the distance of the targets from the price allows them to be reached.
🔶 SETTINGS
Source: Indicator source used to create targets. Targets are created when the closing price crosses the specified source.
Show Target Labels: Display target labels on the chart.
Candle Coloring: Apply candle coloring based on the most recent active target.
🔹 Target
Crossover and Crossunder targets use the same settings below:
Show Target: Determines if the target is displayed or not.
Above Price Target: If selected, will create targets above the closing price.
Wait Until Reached: When enabled will not create a new target until an existing one is reached.
New Target When Reached: Will create a new target when an existing one is reached.
Evaluate Wicks: Will use high/low prices to determine if a target is reached. Unselecting this setting will use the closing price.
Target Distance From Price: Controls the distance of a target from the price. Can be determined in currencies/points, percentages, ATR multiples, or ticks.
Quantum Fluxtrend [CHE] Quantum Fluxtrend — A dynamic Supertrend variant with integrated breakout event tracking and VWAP-guided risk management for clearer trend decisions.
Summary
The Quantum Fluxtrend builds on traditional Supertrend logic by incorporating a midline derived from smoothed high and low values, creating adaptive bands that respond to market range expansion or contraction. This results in fewer erratic signals during volatile periods and smoother tracking in steady trends, while an overlaid event system highlights breakout confirmations, potential traps, or continuations with visual lines, labels, and percentage deltas from the close. Users benefit from real-time VWAP calculations anchored to events, providing dynamic stop-loss suggestions to help manage exits without manual adjustments. Overall, it layers signal robustness with actionable annotations, reducing noise in fast-moving charts.
Motivation: Why this design?
Standard Supertrend indicators often generate excessive flips in choppy conditions or lag behind in low-volatility drifts, leading to whipsaws that erode confidence in trend direction. This design addresses that by centering bands around a midline that reflects recent price spreads, ensuring adjustments are proportional to observed variability. The added event layer captures regime shifts explicitly, turning abstract crossovers into labeled milestones with trailing VWAP for context, which helps traders distinguish genuine momentum from fleeting noise without over-relying on raw price action.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Baseline reference: Diverges from the classic Supertrend, which uses average true range for fixed offsets from a median price.
- Architecture differences:
- Bands form around a central line averaged from smoothed highs and lows, with offsets scaled by half the range between those smooths.
- Regime direction persists until a clear breach of the prior opposite band, preventing premature reversals.
- Event visualization draws persistent lines from flip points, updating labels based on price sustainment relative to the trigger level.
- VWAP resets at each event, accumulating volume-weighted prices forward for a trailing reference.
- Practical effect: Charts show fewer direction changes overall, with color-coded annotations that evolve from initial breakout to continuation or trap status, making it easier to spot sustained moves early. VWAP lines provide a volume-informed anchor that curves with price, offering visual cues for adverse drifts.
How it works (technical)
The process starts by smoothing high and low prices over a user-defined period to form upper and lower references. A midline sits midway between them, and half the spread acts as a base for band offsets, adjusted by a multiplier to widen or narrow sensitivity. On each bar, the close is checked against the previous bar's opposite band: crossing above expands the lower band downward in uptrends, or below contracts the upper band upward in downtrends, creating a ratcheting effect that locks in direction until breached.
Persistent state tracks the current regime, seeding initial bands from the smoothed values if no prior data exists. Flips trigger new horizontal lines at the breach level, styled by direction, alongside labels that monitor sustainment—price holding above for up-flips or below for down-flips keeps the regime, while reversal flags a trap.
Separately, at each flip, a dashed VWAP line initializes at the breach price and extends forward, accumulating the product of typical prices and volumes divided by total volume. This yields a curving reference that updates bar-by-bar. Warnings activate if price strays adversely from this VWAP, tinting the background for quick alerts.
No higher timeframe data is pulled, so all computations run on the chart's native resolution, avoiding lookahead biases unless repainting is enabled via input.
Parameter Guide
SMA Length — Controls smoothing of highs and lows for midline and range base; longer values dampen noise but increase lag. Default: 20. Trade-offs: Shortens responsiveness in trends (e.g., 10–14) but risks more flips; extend to 30+ for stability in ranging markets.
Multiplier — Scales band offsets from the half-range; higher amplifies to capture bigger swings. Default: 1.0. Trade-offs: Above 1.5 widens for volatile assets, reducing false signals; below 0.8 tightens for precision but may miss subtle shifts.
Show Bands — Toggles visibility of basic and adjusted band lines for reference. Default: false. Tip: Enable briefly to verify alignment with price action.
Show Background Color — Displays red tint on VWAP adverse crosses for visual warnings. Default: false. Trade-offs: Helps in live monitoring but can clutter clean charts.
Line Width — Sets thickness for event and VWAP lines. Default: 2. Tip: Thicker (3–5) for emphasis on key levels.
+Bars after next event — Extends old lines briefly before cleanup on new flips. Default: 20. Trade-offs: Longer preserves history (40+) at resource cost; shorter keeps charts tidy.
Allow Repainting — Permits live-bar updates for smoother real-time view. Default: false. Tip: Disable for backtest accuracy.
Extension 1 Settings (Show, Width, Size, Decimals, Colors, Alpha) — Manages dotted connector from event label to current close, showing percentage change. Defaults: Shown, width 2, normal size, 2 decimals, lime/red for gains/losses, gray line, 90% transparent background. Trade-offs: Fewer decimals for clean display; adjust alpha for readability.
Extension 2 Settings (Show, Method, Stop %, Ticks, Decimals, Size, Color, Inherit, Alpha) — Positions stop label at VWAP end, offset by percent or ticks. Defaults: Shown, percent method, 1.0%, 20 ticks, 4 decimals, normal size, white text, inherit tint, 0% alpha. Trade-offs: Percent for proportional risk; ticks for fixed distance in tick-based assets.
Alert Toggles — Enables notifications for breakouts, continuations, traps, or VWAP warnings. All default: true. Tip: Layer with chart alerts for multi-condition setups.
Reading & Interpretation
The main Supertrend line colors green for up-regimes (price above lower band) and red for down (below upper band), serving as a dynamic support/resistance trail. Flip shapes (up/down triangles) mark regime changes at band breaches.
Event lines extend horizontally from flips: green for bull, red for bear. Labels start blank and update to "Bull/Bear Cont." if price sustains the direction, or "Trap" if it reverses, with colors shifting lime/red/gray accordingly. A dotted vertical links the trailing label to the current close, mid-labeled with the percentage delta (positive green, negative red).
VWAP dashes yellow (bull) or orange (bear) from the event, curving to reflect volume-weighted average. At its end, a left-aligned label shows suggested stop price, annotated with offset details. Background red hints at weakening if price crosses VWAP opposite the regime.
Deltas near zero suggest consolidation; widening extremes signal momentum buildup or exhaustion.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter long on green flip shapes confirmed by higher highs, using the event line as initial stop below. Trail stops to VWAP for bull runs, exiting on trap labels or red background warnings. Filter with volume spikes to avoid low-conviction breaks.
- Exits/Stops: Conservative: Set hard stops at suggested SL labels. Aggressive: Hold through minor traps if delta stays positive, but cut on regime flip. Pair with momentum oscillators for overbought pullbacks.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults suit forex/stocks on 15m–4H; for crypto, bump multiplier to 1.5 for volatility. Scale SMA length proportionally across timeframes (e.g., double for daily). Combine with structure tools like Fibonacci for confluence on event lines.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Live bars update lines and labels dynamically if repainting is allowed, but signals confirm on close for stability—flips only trigger post-bar. No higher timeframe calls, so no inherent lookahead, though volume weighting assumes continuous data.
Resources cap at 1000 bars back, 50 lines/labels max; events prune old ones on new flips to stay under budget, with brief extensions for visibility. Arrays or loops absent, keeping it lightweight.
Known limits include lag in extreme gaps (e.g., overnight opens) where bands may not adjust instantly, and VWAP sensitivity to sparse volume in illiquid sessions.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with SMA 20, multiplier 1.0 for balanced response across majors. For choppy pairs: Lengthen SMA to 30, multiplier 0.8 to tighten bands and cut flips. For trending equities: Shorten to 14, multiplier 1.2 for quicker entries. If traps dominate, enable bands to inspect range compression; for sluggish signals, reduce extension bars to focus on recent events.
