TTP SuperTrend ADXThis indicator uses the strength of the trend from ADX to decide how the SuperTrend (ST) should behave.
Motivation
ST is a great trend following indicator but it's not capable of adapting to the trend strength.
The ADX, Average Directional Index measures the strength of the trend and can be use to dynamically tweak the ST factor so that it's sensitivity can adapt to the trend strength.
Implementation
The indicator calculates a normalised value of the ADX based on the data available in the chart.
Based on these values ST will use different factors to increase or reduce the factor use by ST: expansion or compression.
ST expansion vs compression
Expanding the ST would mean that the stronger a trends get the ST factor will grow causing it to distance further from the price delaying the next ST trend flip.
Compressing the ST would mean that the stronger a trends get the ST factor will shrink causing it to get closer to the price speeding up the next ST trend flip.
Features
- Alerts for trend flip
- Alerts for trend status
- Backtestable stream
- SuperTrend color gets more intense with the strength of the trend
SuperTrend ZoneThe SuperTrend Zone indicator is a tool designed to help traders identify the best zone to enter in a position revisiting the usage of the standard SuperTrend indicator.
In the settings you can chose the ATR length and the Factor of the indicator, and in addition to that you can also change the multiplier for the zone width.
This indicator provide two different SuperTrend indicator, the first one has the settings that you chose and display the zone, meanwhile the second one has double the parameters you have chosen and can be used to determine the long term trend direction.
Pro Supertrend CalculatorThis indicator is an adapted version of Julien_Eche's 'Pro Momentum Calculator' tailored specifically for TradingView's 'Supertrend indicator'.
The "Pro Supertrend Calculator" indicator has been developed to provide traders with a data-driven perspective on price movements in financial markets. Its primary objective is to analyze historical price data and make probabilistic predictions about the future direction of price movements, specifically in terms of whether the next candlestick will be bullish (green) or bearish (red). Here's a deeper technical insight into how it accomplishes this task:
1. Supertrend Computation:
The indicator initiates by computing the Supertrend indicator, a sophisticated technical analysis tool. This calculation involves two essential parameters:
- ATR Length (Average True Range Length): This parameter determines the sensitivity of the Supertrend to price fluctuations.
- Factor: This multiplier plays a pivotal role in establishing the distance between the Supertrend line and prevailing market prices. A higher factor value results in a more significant separation.
2. Supertrend Visualization:
The Supertrend values derived from the calculation are meticulously plotted on the price chart, manifesting as two distinct lines:
- Green Line: This line represents the Supertrend when it indicates a bullish trend, signifying an anticipation of rising prices.
- Red Line: This line signifies the Supertrend in bearish market conditions, indicating an expectation of falling prices.
3. Consecutive Candle Analysis:
- The core function of the indicator revolves around tracking successive candlestick patterns concerning their relationship with the Supertrend line.
- To be included in the analysis, a candlestick must consistently close either above (green candles) or below (red candles) the Supertrend line for multiple consecutive periods.
4.Labeling and Enumeration:
- To communicate the count of consecutive candles displaying uniform trend behavior, the indicator meticulously applies labels to the price chart.
- The positioning of these labels varies based on the direction of the trend, residing either below (for bullish patterns) or above (for bearish patterns) the candlestick.
- The color scheme employed aligns with the color of the candle, using green labels for bullish candles and red labels for bearish ones.
5. Tabular Data Presentation:
- The indicator augments its graphical analysis with a customizable table prominently displayed on the chart. This table delivers comprehensive statistical insights.
- The tabular data comprises the following key elements for each consecutive period:
a. Consecutive Candles: A tally of the number of consecutive candles displaying identical trend characteristics.
b. Candles Above Supertrend: A count of candles that remained above the Supertrend during the sequential period.
3. Candles Below Supertrend: A count of candles that remained below the Supertrend during the sequential period.
4. Upcoming Green Candle: An estimation of the probability that the next candlestick will be bullish, grounded in historical data.
5. Upcoming Red Candle: An estimation of the probability that the next candlestick will be bearish, based on historical data.
6. Tailored Configuration:
To accommodate diverse trading strategies and preferences, the indicator offers extensive customization options. Traders can fine-tune parameters such as ATR length, factor, label and table placement, and table size to align with their unique trading approaches.
In summation, the "Pro Supertrend Calculator" indicator is an intricately designed tool that leverages the Supertrend indicator in conjunction with historical price data to furnish traders with an informed outlook on potential future price dynamics, with a particular emphasis on the likelihood of specific bullish or bearish candlestick patterns stemming from consecutive price behavior.
Volume SuperTrend AI (Expo)█ Overview
The Volume SuperTrend AI is an advanced technical indicator used to predict trends in price movements by utilizing a combination of traditional SuperTrend calculation and AI techniques, particularly the k-nearest neighbors (KNN) algorithm.
The Volume SuperTrend AI is designed to provide traders with insights into potential market trends, using both volume-weighted moving averages (VWMA) and the k-nearest neighbors (KNN) algorithm. By combining these approaches, the indicator aims to offer more precise predictions of price trends, offering bullish and bearish signals.
█ How It Works
Volume Analysis: By utilizing volume-weighted moving averages (VWMA), the Volume SuperTrend AI emphasizes the importance of trading volume in the trend direction, allowing it to respond more accurately to market dynamics.
Artificial Intelligence Integration - k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) Algorithm: The k-NN algorithm is employed to intelligently examine historical data points, measuring distances between current parameters and previous data. The nearest neighbors are utilized to create predictive modeling, thus adapting to intricate market patterns.
█ How to use
Trend Identification
The Volume SuperTrend AI indicator considers not only price movement but also trading volume, introducing an extra dimension to trend analysis. By integrating volume data, the indicator offers a more nuanced and robust understanding of market trends. When trends are supported by high trading volumes, they tend to be more stable and reliable. In practice, a green line displayed beneath the price typically suggests an upward trend, reflecting a bullish market sentiment. Conversely, a red line positioned above the price signals a downward trend, indicative of bearish conditions.
Trend Continuation signals
The AI algorithm is the fundamental component in the coloring of the Volume SuperTrend. This integration serves as a means of predicting the trend while preserving the inherent characteristics of the SuperTrend. By maintaining these essential features, the AI-enhanced Volume SuperTrend allows traders to more accurately identify and capitalize on trend continuation signals.
TrailingStop
The Volume SuperTrend AI indicator serves as a dynamic trailing stop loss, adjusting with both price movement and trading volume. This approach protects profits while allowing the trade room to grow, taking into account volume for a more nuanced response to market changes.
█ Settings
AI Settings:
Neighbors (k):
This setting controls the number of nearest neighbors to consider in the k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) algorithm. By adjusting this parameter, you can directly influence the sensitivity of the model to local fluctuations in the data. A lower value of k may lead to predictions that closely follow short-term trends but may be prone to noise. A higher value of k can provide more stable predictions, considering the broader context of market trends, but might lag in responsiveness.
Data (n):
This setting refers to the number of data points to consider in the model. It allows the user to define the size of the dataset that will be analyzed. A larger value of n may provide more comprehensive insights by considering a wider historical context but can increase computational complexity. A smaller value of n focuses on more recent data, possibly providing quicker insights but might overlook longer-term trends.
AI Trend Settings:
Price Trend & Prediction Trend:
These settings allow you to adjust the lengths of the weighted moving averages that are used to calculate both the price trend and the prediction trend. Shorter lengths make the trends more responsive to recent price changes, capturing quick market movements. Longer lengths smooth out the trends, filtering out noise, and highlighting more persistent market directions.
AI Trend Signals:
This toggle option enables or disables the trend signals generated by the AI. Activating this function may assist traders in identifying key trend shifts and opportunities for entry or exit. Disabling it may be preferred when focusing on other aspects of the analysis.
Super Trend Settings:
Length:
This setting determines the length of the SuperTrend, affecting how it reacts to price changes. A shorter length will produce a more sensitive SuperTrend, reacting quickly to price fluctuations. A longer length will create a smoother SuperTrend, reducing false alarms but potentially lagging behind real market changes.
Factor:
This parameter is the multiplier for the Average True Range (ATR) in SuperTrend calculation. By adjusting the factor, you can control the distance of the SuperTrend from the price. A higher factor makes the SuperTrend further from the price, giving more room for price movement but possibly missing shorter-term signals. A lower factor brings the SuperTrend closer to the price, making it more reactive but possibly more prone to false signals.
Moving Average Source:
This setting lets you choose the type of moving average used for the SuperTrend calculation, such as Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), etc.
Different types of moving averages provide various characteristics to the SuperTrend, enabling customization to align with individual trading strategies and market conditions.

AI SuperTrend Clustering Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The AI SuperTrend Clustering Oscillator is an oscillator returning the most bullish/average/bearish centroids given by multiple instances of the difference between SuperTrend indicators.
This script is an extension of our previously posted SuperTrend AI indicator that makes use of k-means clustering. If you want to learn more about it see:
🔶 USAGE
The AI SuperTrend Clustering Oscillator is made of 3 distinct components, a bullish output (always the highest), a bearish output (always the lowest), and a "consensus" output always within the two others.
The general trend is given by the consensus output, with a value above 0 indicating an uptrend and under 0 indicating a downtrend. Using a higher minimum factor will weigh results toward longer-term trends, while lowering the maximum factor will weigh results toward shorter-term trends.
Strong trends are indicated when the bullish/bearish outputs are indicating an opposite sentiment. A strong bullish trend would for example be indicated when the bearish output is above 0, while a strong bearish trend would be indicated when the bullish output is below 0.
When the consensus output is indicating a specific trend direction, an opposite indication from the bullish/bearish output can highlight a potential reversal or retracement.
🔶 DETAILS
The indicator construction is based on finding three clusters from the difference between the closing price and various SuperTrend using different factors. The centroid of each cluster is then returned. This operation is done over all historical bars.
The highest cluster will be composed of the differences between the price and SuperTrends that are the highest, thus creating a more bullish group. The lowest cluster will be composed of the differences between the price and SuperTrends that are the lowest, thus creating a more bearish group.
The consensus cluster is composed of the differences between the price and SuperTrends that are not significant enough to be part of the other clusters.
🔶 SETTINGS
ATR Length: ATR period used for the calculation of the SuperTrends.
Factor Range: Determine the minimum and maximum factor values for the calculation of the SuperTrends.
Step: Increments of the factor range.
Smooth: Degree of smoothness of each output from the indicator.
🔹 Optimization
This group of settings affects the runtime performances of the script.
Maximum Iteration Steps: Maximum number of iterations allowed for finding centroids. Excessively low values can return a better script load time but poor clustering.
Historical Bars Calculation: Calculation window of the script (in bars).
SuperTrend AI (Clustering) [LuxAlgo]The SuperTrend AI indicator is a novel take on bridging the gap between the K-means clustering machine learning method & technical indicators. In this case, we apply K-Means clustering to the famous SuperTrend indicator.
🔶 USAGE
Users can interpret the SuperTrend AI trailing stop similarly to the regular SuperTrend indicator. Using higher minimum/maximum factors will return longer-term signals.
The displayed performance metrics displayed on each signal allow for a deeper interpretation of the indicator. Whereas higher values could indicate a higher potential for the market to be heading in the direction of the trend when compared to signals with lower values such as 1 or 0 potentially indicating retracements.
In the image above, we can notice more clear examples of the performance metrics on signals indicating trends, however, these performance metrics cannot perform or predict every signal reliably.
We can see in the image above that the trailing stop and its adaptive moving average can also act as support & resistance. Using higher values of the performance memory setting allows users to obtain a longer-term adaptive moving average of the returned trailing stop.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 K-Means Clustering
When observing data points within a specific space, we can sometimes observe that some are closer to each other, forming groups, or "Clusters". At first sight, identifying those clusters and finding their associated data points can seem easy but doing so mathematically can be more challenging. This is where cluster analysis comes into play, where we seek to group data points into various clusters such that data points within one cluster are closer to each other. This is a common branch of AI/machine learning.
Various methods exist to find clusters within data, with the one used in this script being K-Means Clustering , a simple iterative unsupervised clustering method that finds a user-set amount of clusters.
A naive form of the K-Means algorithm would perform the following steps in order to find K clusters:
(1) Determine the amount (K) of clusters to detect.
(2) Initiate our K centroids (cluster centers) with random values.
(3) Loop over the data points, and determine which is the closest centroid from each data point, then associate that data point with the centroid.
(4) Update centroids by taking the average of the data points associated with a specific centroid.
Repeat steps 3 to 4 until convergence, that is until the centroids no longer change.
To explain how K-Means works graphically let's take the example of a one-dimensional dataset (which is the dimension used in our script) with two apparent clusters:
This is of course a simple scenario, as K will generally be higher, as well the amount of data points. Do note that this method can be very sensitive to the initialization of the centroids, this is why it is generally run multiple times, keeping the run returning the best centroids.
🔹 Adaptive SuperTrend Factor Using K-Means
The proposed indicator rationale is based on the following hypothesis:
Given multiple instances of an indicator using different settings, the optimal setting choice at time t is given by the best-performing instance with setting s(t) .
Performing the calculation of the indicator using the best setting at time t would return an indicator whose characteristics adapt based on its performance. However, what if the setting of the best-performing instance and second best-performing instance of the indicator have a high degree of disparity without a high difference in performance?
Even though this specific case is rare its however not uncommon to see that performance can be similar for a group of specific settings (this could be observed in a parameter optimization heatmap), then filtering out desirable settings to only use the best-performing one can seem too strict. We can as such reformulate our first hypothesis:
Given multiple instances of an indicator using different settings, an optimal setting choice at time t is given by the average of the best-performing instances with settings s(t) .
Finding this group of best-performing instances could be done using the previously described K-Means clustering method, assuming three groups of interest (K = 3) defined as worst performing, average performing, and best performing.
We first obtain an analog of performance P(t, factor) described as:
P(t, factor) = P(t-1, factor) + α * (∆C(t) × S(t-1, factor) - P(t-1, factor))
where 1 > α > 0, which is the performance memory determining the degree to which older inputs affect the current output. C(t) is the closing price, and S(t, factor) is the SuperTrend signal generating function with multiplicative factor factor .
We run this performance function for multiple factor settings and perform K-Means clustering on the multiple obtained performances to obtain the best-performing cluster. We initiate our centroids using quartiles of the obtained performances for faster centroids convergence.
The average of the factors associated with the best-performing cluster is then used to obtain the final factor setting, which is used to compute the final SuperTrend output.
Do note that we give the liberty for the user to get the final factor from the best, average, or worst cluster for experimental purposes.
🔶 SETTINGS
ATR Length: ATR period used for the calculation of the SuperTrends.
Factor Range: Determine the minimum and maximum factor values for the calculation of the SuperTrends.
Step: Increments of the factor range.
Performance Memory: Determine the degree to which older inputs affect the current output, with higher values returning longer-term performance measurements.
From Cluster: Determine which cluster is used to obtain the final factor.
🔹 Optimization
This group of settings affects the runtime performances of the script.
Maximum Iteration Steps: Maximum number of iterations allowed for finding centroids. Excessively low values can return a better script load time but poor clustering.
Historical Bars Calculation: Calculation window of the script (in bars).
Pivot Point SuperTrend Strategy +TrendFilterIn the dynamic world of financial markets, traders are always on the lookout for innovative strategies to identify trends and make timely trades. The "Pivot Point SuperTrend strategy +TrendFilter" has emerged as an intriguing approach, combining two popular indicators - Pivot Points and SuperTrend, while introducing an additional trend filter for added precision. This strategy draws inspiration from Lonesome TheBlue's "Pivot Point SuperTrend" script, aiming to provide traders with a reliable tool for trend following while minimizing false signals.
The Core Concept:
The strategy's foundation lies in the fusion of Pivot Points and SuperTrend indicators, and the addition of a robust trend filter. It begins by calculating Pivot Highs and Lows over a specified period, serving as crucial reference points for trend analysis. Through a weighted average calculation, these Pivot Points create a center line, refining the overall indicator.
Next, based on the center line and the Average True Range (ATR) with a user-defined Factor, upper and lower bands are generated. These bands adapt to market volatility, adding flexibility to the strategy. The heart of the "Pivot Point SuperTrend" strategy lies in accurately identifying the prevailing trend, with the indicator smoothly transitioning between bullish and bearish signals as the price interacts with the SuperTrend bands.
The additional trend filter introduced into the strategy further enhances its capabilities. This filter is based on a moving average, providing a dynamic assessment of the trend's strength and direction. By combining this trend filter with the original Pivot Point SuperTrend signals, the strategy aims to make more informed and reliable trading decisions.
Advantages of "Pivot Point SuperTrend" with Trend Filter:
1. Enhanced Precision: The incorporation of a trend filter improves the strategy's accuracy by confirming the overall trend direction before generating signals.
2. Trend Continuation: The integration of Pivot Points and SuperTrend, along with the trend filter, aims to prolong trades during strong market trends, potentially maximizing profit opportunities.
3. Reduced Whipsaws: The strategy's weighted average calculation, coupled with the trend filter, helps minimize false signals and reduces whipsaws during uncertain or sideways market conditions.
4. Support and Resistance Insights: The strategy continues to provide additional support and resistance levels based on the Pivot Points, offering valuable contextual information to traders.
TrendGuard Flag Finder - Strategy [presentTrading]
Introduction and How It Is Different
In the vast world of trading strategies, the TrendGuard Flag Finder stands out as a unique blend of traditional flag pattern detection and the renowned SuperTrend indicator.
- A significant portion of the Flag Pattern detection is inspired by the "Flag Finder" code by @Amphibiantrading, which serves as one of foundational element of this strategy.
- While many strategies focus on either trend-following or pattern recognition, this strategy harmoniously combines both, offering traders a more holistic view of the market.
- The integration of the SuperTrend indicator not only provides a clear direction of the prevailing trend but also offers potential stop-loss levels, enhancing the strategy's risk management capabilities.
AAPL 1D chart
ETHBTC 6hr chart
Strategy: How It Works
The TrendGuard Flag Finder is primarily built on two pillars:
1. Flag Pattern Detection : At its core, the strategy identifies flag patterns, which are continuation patterns suggesting that the prevailing trend will resume after a brief consolidation. The strategy meticulously detects both bullish and bearish flags, ensuring traders can capitalize on opportunities in both rising and falling markets.
What is a Flag Pattern? A flag pattern consists of two main components:
1.1 The Pole : This is the initial strong price move, which can be either upwards (for bullish flags) or downwards (for bearish flags). The pole represents a strong surge in price in a particular direction, driven by significant buying or selling momentum.
1.2 The Flag : Following the pole, the price starts consolidating, moving against the initial trend. This consolidation forms a rectangular shape and is characterized by parallel trendlines. In a bullish flag, the consolidation will have a slight downward tilt, while in a bearish flag, it will have a slight upward tilt.
How the Strategy Detects Flags:
Identifying the Pole: The strategy first identifies a strong price movement over a user-defined number of bars. This movement should meet a certain percentage change to qualify as a pole.
Spotting the Flag: After the pole is identified, the strategy looks for a consolidation phase. The consolidation should be counter to the prevailing trend and should be contained within parallel lines. The depth (for bullish flags) or rally (for bearish flags) of this consolidation is calculated to ensure it meets user-defined criteria.
2. SuperTrend Integration : The SuperTrend indicator, known for its simplicity and effectiveness, is integrated into the strategy. It provides a dynamic line on the chart, signaling the prevailing trend. When prices are above the SuperTrend line, it's an indication of an uptrend, and vice versa. This not only confirms the flag pattern's direction but also offers a potential stop-loss level for trades.
When combined, these components allow traders to identify potential breakout (for bullish flags) or breakdown (for bearish flags) scenarios, backed by the momentum indicated by the SuperTrend.
Usage
To use the SuperTrend Enhanced Flag Finder:
- Inputs : Begin by setting the desired parameters. The strategy offers a range of user-controlled settings, allowing for customization based on individual trading preferences and risk tolerance.
- Visualization : Once the parameters are set, the strategy will identify and visually represent flag patterns on the chart. Bullish flags are represented in green, while bearish flags are in red.
- Trade Execution : When a breakout or breakdown is identified, the strategy provides entry signals. It also offers exit signals based on the SuperTrend, ensuring that traders can capitalize on the momentum while managing risk.
Default Settings
The strategy comes with a set of default settings optimized for general use:
- SuperTrend Parameters: Length set to 10 and Factor set to 5.0.
- Bull Flag Criteria: Max Flag Depth at 7, Max Flag Length at 10 bars, Min Flag Length at 3 bars, Prior Uptrend Minimum at 9%, and Flag Pole Length between 7 to 13 bars.
- Bear Flag Criteria: Similar settings adjusted for bearish patterns.
- Display Options: By default, both bullish and bearish flags are displayed, with breakout and breakdown points highlighted.
Variety Volatility Supertrend w/ Bands [Loxx]Variety Volatility Supertrend w/ Bands indicator is a powerful and highly customizable tool for traders. Building upon the foundational concept of the classic Supertrend indicator, this variant adds a plethora of user-driven options and features that can cater to diverse trading styles and market scenarios.
The Supertrend indicator is traditionally used to identify market trends by overlaying a line on the price chart, which changes color and position in relation to the price based on the trend direction. The Variety Volatility Supertrend w/ Bands takes this a step further by offering various volatility calculations, visual enhancements, explicit trading signals, and alert conditions.
It provides five options for volatility calculations, enabling users to select the most suitable measure for their strategy. This indicator also allows users to control the display of the upper, lower, and mid bands, which can serve as dynamic support and resistance levels. Further, it can display explicit trading signals when the trend changes direction and set up alerts for these signals.
█ User Inputs
Source: Defines the source of the price data, typically the closing price.
Period: Defines the lookback period for the chosen volatility calculation.
Mid Price Period: Defines the number of periods for calculating the mid-price.
Multiplier: The factor by which the volatility measure (e.g., ATR) is multiplied.
Volatility Type: The user can choose one of five different calculations for the volatility measure: ATR, Standard Error, Standard Deviation, Custom Standard Deviation with Sample Correction, and Custom Standard Deviation without Sample Correction.
Classic Supertrend: Enables the classic version of the Supertrend indicator if set to true.
Show Upper Band, Show Lower Band, Show Mid: Determines whether the upper, lower, and middle bands of the Supertrend indicator are displayed.
Outer Line Width, Mid Line Width: Controls the line widths of the outer and middle lines.
Color Bars: Colors the price bars based on the direction of the trend if enabled.
Show signals: Displays trading signals on the chart if enabled.
Bull Color, Bear Color: Controls the colors of the Supertrend indicator during bullish and bearish market conditions.
█ Computations
The script begins by calculating the chosen volatility measure (ATR, Standard Error, Standard Deviation, etc.) and the mid-price, which is the average of the highest and lowest prices over the specified Mid Price Period. It then calculates the upper and lower bands by adding and subtracting the product of the Multiplier and the volatility measure from the mid-price.
The script then compares the current price with the previous upper and lower bands to determine the trend direction. If the current price is greater than the previous upper band, the trend is considered bullish. If it's less than the previous lower band, the trend is bearish.
█ Visualizations
The script plots the upper, lower, and mid bands on the chart based on the user's settings. If Color Bars is enabled, the script colors the price bars based on the trend direction. If Show signals is enabled, the script displays shapes on the chart to represent trading signals when the trend changes direction.
█ Alerts
Finally, the script sets up alert conditions for long and short trading signals. When these conditions are met, TradingView sends an alert to the user with a message indicating the indicator's name, the type of signal (long or short), and the symbol and closing price of the asset.

The Classic Supertrend mode essentially transforms the "Variety Volatility Supertrend w/ Bands " indicator to behave more like the traditional Supertrend indicator.
In the traditional Supertrend indicator, there is a single line that shifts positions based on the trend direction. When the market is in an uptrend, the Supertrend line is plotted below the price, acting as a dynamic support level. Conversely, when the market is in a downtrend, the Supertrend line moves above the price, acting as a dynamic resistance level.
When you set Classic Supertrend to True in this script, it mimics this behavior. It will only display one line (the Supertrend line) instead of the upper and lower bands. The Supertrend line will switch between the calculated upper band and lower band based on the trend direction:
In an uptrend, it plots the lower band as the Supertrend line (acting as a dynamic support level).
In a downtrend, it plots the upper band as the Supertrend line (acting as a dynamic resistance level).
Thus, when Classic Supertrend is True, the display is similar to the regular Supertrend indicator, offering a more simplified, less cluttered view of the price trend.

Supertrend Moving Average with Bands
When the Classic Supertrend option is turned off in the "Variety Volatility Supertrend w/ Bands " indicator, the indicator displays upper and lower bands along with the midline, depending on the user's settings. These bands can serve as dynamic support and resistance levels, and they move and adjust based on the market's volatility.
Support and resistance are key concepts in technical analysis. Support is a price level where the price tends to find a floor as it falls, indicating a greater amount of demand or buying interest that can prop up the prices. Resistance, on the other hand, is a price level where rising prices tend to stop rising, indicating a greater amount of supply or selling interest.
In the context of the "Variety Volatility Supertrend w/ Bands " indicator:
Upper Band: This can act as a dynamic resistance level in a downtrend. When prices are falling, they might struggle to rise above this band. If prices do break above the upper band, it could be a sign that the downtrend is reversing, and a new uptrend may be beginning.
Lower Band: Conversely, this can act as a dynamic support level in an uptrend. When prices are rising, they might bounce off this band and continue to rise. If prices break below the lower band, it could indicate that the uptrend is reversing, and a new downtrend may be beginning.
The benefit of these dynamic support and resistance levels is that they adjust automatically as market conditions change, potentially offering more relevant insights into price behavior compared to static support and resistance levels.

█ Volatility Types
The "Variety Volatility Supertrend w/ Bands " indicator provides five options for the volatility calculation. Volatility is a statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or market index. In most cases, the higher the volatility, the riskier the security. Here's a quick summary of each option:
Average True Range (ATR): This is a common volatility measure in the world of trading, particularly for commodities and forex markets. It measures the average of true price ranges over a specified period. The true range considers the most recent period's high-low range, the previous close to the most recent high, and the previous close to the most recent low, taking the highest value.
Standard Error: This is a measure of the accuracy of predictions made with statistical techniques. In the context of trading, the standard error can give traders an idea of the quality of their volatility or price level estimates. It's calculated using the standard deviation of the price data, the square root of the number of data points.
Standard Deviation: This is a measure of the dispersion of a set of data from its mean. It's a commonly used volatility measure in finance. In trading, a higher standard deviation suggests greater price volatility.
Custom Standard Deviation - with Sample Correction: This is a variation of the standard deviation calculation, but it applies a correction for small sample sizes. It's calculated similarly to the standard deviation, but the sum of the squares is divided by (n-1) instead of n to provide a more accurate estimate when working with a small number of data points.
Custom Standard Deviation - without Sample Correction: This is another variation of the standard deviation calculation, but without the sample correction. This might be used when the number of data points is sufficiently large that the correction is not necessary.
The choice of volatility measure can have a significant impact on the sensitivity of the Supertrend indicator. Some measures may result in wider bands and fewer trend changes, while others may produce narrower bands and more frequent trend changes. The choice of volatility measure should align with the trader's strategy and risk tolerance.
█ Multiple Timeframe options
The "Variety Volatility Supertrend w/ Bands " indicator, like most indicators on the TradingView platform, can be applied to various timeframes, regardless of the chart's current timeframe. The timeframe of an indicator is determined by the timeframe of the price data it processes.
This indicator's flexibility with timeframes allows it to be used in different trading strategies. Day traders might use shorter timeframes like 1-minute or 15-minute charts, swing traders might use 1-hour or 4-hour charts, and long-term investors might use daily or weekly charts.

Dynamic Trendline Break - Strategy [presentTrading]- Introduction and How It Is Different
The Dynamic Trendline Break Strategy is a unique trading algorithm that leverages the power of trendlines and swing detection to identify potential trading opportunities.
Unlike traditional trendline strategies that rely on static trendlines, this strategy dynamically calculates trendlines based on pivot highs and lows.
This dynamic approach allows the strategy to adapt to changing market conditions (especially 24hr markets like Crypto) and potentially identify trading opportunities that static trendlines might miss.

Tencent 700.HK 1D chart
- Strategy, How It Works
The strategy works by first identifying pivot highs and lows using a lookback period defined by the user. These pivot points are then used to calculate the slope of the trendlines. The slope calculation method can be chosen from three options: Average True Range (ATR), Standard Deviation (Stdev), or Linear Regression (Linreg), providing flexibility to the trader.
Once the trendlines are calculated, the strategy identifies potential trading opportunities when the price crosses over the upper trendline (for long trades) or crosses under the lower trendline (for short trades). The strategy also allows the user to define the trade direction (Long, Short, or Both) and the stop loss method (Fixed or SuperTrend).
- Trade Direction
The trade direction parameter allows the user to define the direction of the trades that the strategy will take. If set to "Long", the strategy will only take long trades when the price crosses over the upper trendline. If set to "Short", the strategy will only take short trades when the price crosses under the lower trendline. If set to "Both", the strategy will take both long and short trades.
- Usage
To use this strategy, simply input your desired parameters for the swing detection lookback, slope, slope calculation method, trade direction, stop loss method, and stop loss level. Once these parameters are set, the strategy will automatically calculate the trendlines and identify potential trading opportunities based on the defined parameters.
- Default Settings
The default settings for the strategy are as follows:
Swing Detection Lookback: 30
Slope: 0.618
Slope Calculation Method: ATR
Trade Direction: Both
Stop Loss Method: SuperTrend
Stop Loss Level: 15%
SuperTrend Factor: 3
SuperTrend Lookback: 21
These settings can be adjusted to suit your trading style and risk tolerance. Always remember to backtest any changes to the settings before live trading.

[blackcat] L2 Barbara Star Supertrend IndicatorLevel 2
Background
Barbara Star’s article on July 2023, “Stay On Track With The Supertrend Indicator”, I rewrote it as pine script for your information.
Function
A supertrend indicator is displayed either above or below the closing price to signal a buy or sell. The indicator changes color depending on whether you should buy or not. When the Supertrend indicator falls below the closing price, the indicator turns green, signaling one or more entry points to buy.
Author Barbara Star describes the Supertrend indicator and how it can be used as a means for traders to stay in sync with the larger trend. She explains how J. Welles Wilder's Average True Range (ATR) forms a basis for supertrend calculations. ATR does not measure price direction, but rather provides a measure of volatility over a period of time. The Supertrend indicator, on the other hand, provides a more comprehensive view of trend direction. In addition, the indicator provides price levels at which a trend reversal would occur.
Green color stands for up trend;
Red color stands for down trend.
Remarks
Feedbacks are appreciated.
Blockunity Divinetrend (BDT)A formidable trend-following indicator, based on an ATR combined with a trailing stop mechanism. Divinetrend’s aim is to offer a simple and efficient alternative to Supertrend, another highly reputed indicator of the same type. It comes with a trading strategy that can be activated in its parameters. You can also change a number of design parameters.
Divinetrend is pretty straightforward in its approach. It calculates a base moving average taking into account the asset’s volatility, multiplies it with an ATR, then displays a line representing a trailing stop. When a red line is broken, the asset is considered to be moving back into an uptrend. Inversely, when a green line is broken, a bearish signal is sent. In the parameters, you can also activate a trend contestation period. If this parameter is activated, the price must have been trending for at least 5 days for the trend change to be validated.
Usage Advice
We recommend that you do not use this indicator with a time unit of less than 2 hours. Ideally in 4 hours or daily, or even 3 days. Otherwise, there’s nothing special about the use of this indicator. We still recommend that you use your logarithmic chart for a better visualization, but this is optional.
This indicator was designed in particular for the crypto market, but it also works on traditional market assets.
The Different Signals
Divinetrend gives buy and sell signals based on trailing stop line breaks and trend orientation. In particular, it can be used for trend identification and following. If the Contested Trend option is activated in the settings, the indicator will also display a contested period in blue. In this case, it is necessary to wait 5 days for the trend to be validated.
Integrated Strategy
In addition, a trading strategy is integrated into the Divinetrend indicator. This can be activated in the parameters. This is mainly there to see the results and the relevance of the indicator in the TradingView Strategy Tester. We do not recommend using it alone. As this strategy is used to study the indicator's performance, we use the following default parameters: An initial capital of 2,000 USDT with 100% of equity in order size. In other words, we'll bet the entire portfolio on each trade. To do this, we use a default stop loss of 10%, to avoid risking heavy losses. We also use a commission of 0.01% and a slippage of 3 ticks to reflect more reality.
kyle algo v1
Integration of multiple technical indicators: The strategy mainly combines two technical indicators - Keltner Channels and Supertrend, to generate trading signals. It also calculates fifteen exponential moving averages (EMAs) for the high price with different periods ranging from 9 to 51.
Unique combination of indicators: The traditional Supertrend typically uses Average True Range (ATR) to calculate its upper and lower bands. In contrast, this script modifies the approach to use Keltner Channels instead.
Flexible sensitivity adjustment: This strategy provides a "sensitivity" input parameter for users to adjust, which controls the multiplier for the range in the Supertrend calculation. This can make the signals more or less sensitive to price changes, allowing users to tailor the strategy to their own risk tolerance and trading style.
EMA Energy Representation: The code offers a visualization of "EMA Energy", which color-codes the EMA lines based on whether the closing price is above or below the EMA line. This can provide an intuitive understanding of market trends.
Clear visual signals: The strategy generates clear "BUY" and "SELL" signals, represented as labels on the chart. This makes it easy to identify potential entry and exit points in the market.
Customizable: The script provides several user inputs, making it possible to fine-tune the strategy according to different market conditions and individual trading preferences.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average) Principle:
The EMA is a type of moving average that assigns more weight to the most recent data.
It responds more quickly to recent price changes and is used to capture short-term price trends.
Principle of Color Change :
In this trading strategy, the color of the EMA line changes based on whether the closing price is above or below the EMA. If the closing price is above the EMA, the EMA line turns green,
indicating an upward price trend. Conversely, if the closing price is below the EMA, the EMA line turns red,
indicating a downward price trend. These color changes help traders to more intuitively identify price trends
In short, our team provides a lot of practical space

Smooth Trail V1Please, enjoy your new game changing tradingview indicator, may I present you: the Smooth Trail (first version).
The Smooth Trail is an indicator that works just like a super trend, but it has a completely different usage and potential.
The super trend works following the price and displaying a line that uses the ATR to determine how far it has to be from the actual price, and many new trader like to use the indicator thanks to his easy readability and the buy sell signals that it shows, unfortunately this is not the best usage of the indicator and it often leads to lose money on the markets.
The main characteristics that this indicator has is that, not like the normal super trend, it follow the trend the better adapting itself in the retracement phases.
The second feature that dictate the best usage of this indicator, is that it shows a zone in which to buy or sell to have the best risk to reward ratio.
The indicator also works as dynamic level of support and resistance and can be used the best for trend following strategies to maximize the profits.
The first input, the multiplier, is used to determine how many times the ATR has to be added or subtracted in order to plot the indicator.
The second input, the length, is used to determine how many candle the indicator and the ATR have to consider for the calculation.
The third and last input, the zone width, is used to calculate the width of the zone displayed by the indicator, and is the factor that will be multiplied to the ATR, this means that if you leave the settings as default, the zone will be 1 ATR or 34 candle width.
This indicator is great to use in confluence with other indicator or with various candlestick pattern.
Volume-Weighted Supertrend Strategy [wbburgin]This is a script that can be used as a strategy or a standalone indicator.
The Volume-Weighted Supertrend is a supertrend based on a rolling VWAP, instead of a normal price source. The strategy has two components - a supertrend based off of this VWAP (shown on the chart) and a supertrend from volume itself (not plotted on the chart directly). The supertrend from volume is an example of my "Supertrend Any Source" indicator, where a custom ATR is created from non-OHLC data; this is available as both a separate public script and also in my "wbburgin_utils" library for you to use in your own script creation.
The supertrend from volume acts as a confirmation filter for the VWAP-supertrend shown on-chart. If the volume supertrend is trending up and the VWAP-based supertrend is also trending up, a buy signal is generated. Likewise, if the volume supertrend is trending down and the VWAP-supertrend is trending down, a sell signal is generated. The colors are based off of whether both supertrends are trending up or down: green for both up, blue for only price up, orange for only price down, and red for both down.
The settings enable you to change the volume length and the ATR length separately, as well as the multiplier and the source for the price supertrend. If you load the indicator for the first time and see no entries and exits, this is because "Show Strategy Entries and Exits" is disabled in the settings. This is if you plan on using the strategy as an indicator and don't want to be bothered by the entry and exit symbols on the chart. Additionally, for those who like clean charts (like me), you can turn all the labels off in the settings, as well as the highlighting.
My default strategy settings for the strategy results shown below are as follows: 5% equity per trade, 5 degrees of pyramiding, commissions of 0.08% per trade. This strategy doesn't come with stops yet, so please be aware of that before using it to trade - I highly suggest you create your own stops based off of your R/R ratio and personal risk tolerance. Additionally, it works best on trending assets (b/c of the supertrends) with high volume. This might mean it does not work as well on lower timeframes.
SupertrendThis indicator is based on Multi timeframe supertrend . i use pine script function ta.supertrend() ..
The Multiple Timeframe Supertrend is a technical analysis indicator that helps traders identify the overall market trend across different timeframes. It is based on the concept of the Supertrend indicator, which is designed to follow the trend and provide buy or sell signals.
The Multiple Timeframe Supertrend takes into account the Supertrend indicator's values on multiple timeframes, typically a higher timeframe (e.g., daily or weekly) and a lower timeframe (e.g., hourly or 15 minutes). By considering the trend direction on both timeframes, traders can get a broader perspective on the market trend and potentially improve their trading decisions.
general approach to using the Multiple Timeframe Supertrend indicator
Determine the timeframes: Choose the higher timeframe and the lower timeframe you want to analyze. For example, you might use the daily and hourly charts.
Calculate the Supertrend on each timeframe: Apply the Supertrend indicator separately on each timeframe, using the appropriate parameters (such as period and multiplier).
Analyze the trend: Compare the Supertrend values on both timeframes. If the Supertrend is bullish (indicating an uptrend) on both timeframes, it suggests a stronger bullish bias. Conversely, if both timeframes show a bearish Supertrend, it indicates a stronger bearish bias.
Trading decisions: Based on the analysis, you can make trading decisions. For example, if the higher timeframe shows an uptrend and the lower timeframe confirms the same trend, you might look for buying opportunities. Conversely, if both timeframes indicate a downtrend, you might consider selling or shorting.
MTF Fusion - SuperTrend [TradingIndicators]SuperTrend is undoubtedly one of the most popular and influential indicators ever developed, and by combining it with our MTF Fusion algorithm, we believe we have made it more useful and powerful than ever with MTF Fusion SuperTrend .
Let's start with a brief review of what the original SuperTrend indicator is and how it works.
What is SuperTrend?
The SuperTrend indicator is a popular technical analysis tool used in financial markets to identify the direction of a trend and potential entry and exit points for trading. It was developed by Olivier Seban, a French trader, and first introduced in his book "Tout le monde peut gagner en bourse" ("Everyone Can Win in the Stock Market") published in 2008.
SuperTrend is based on the concept of Average True Range (ATR) and uses two parameters: the multiplier and the period. The ATR measures the volatility of a financial instrument, and the SuperTrend indicator utilizes this information to plot a line above or below the price chart. It is an 'AITM' (Always In The Market) indicator, which, in its original form, is always 'long' or 'short' - and never 'flat'.
Here's a brief overview of how the SuperTrend indicator works:
Calculation of the ATR: The ATR is calculated using historical price data over a specified period. It measures the average range between high and low prices, reflecting the market's volatility.
Calculation of the upward (long/bullish) and downward (short/bearish) SuperTrend lines: The SuperTrend indicator multiplies the ATR by a specified multiplier (typically 2 or 3) and adds/subtracts the result from the current closing price. This calculation determines the upward and downward SuperTrend lines.
Plotting the Indicator: The SuperTrend indicator plots a line above the price chart when the price is trending upwards, and below the price chart when the price is trending downwards. The distance between the price and the indicator line provides insights into the strength of the trend.
Traders commonly use the SuperTrend indicator to identify potential buy or sell signals. For example, a buy signal may be generated when the price crosses above the indicator line, indicating an uptrend. Conversely, a sell signal may be triggered when the price crosses below the indicator line, signaling a downtrend.
What is MTF Fusion?
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Fusion is the process of combining calculations from multiple timeframes higher than the chart's into one 'fused' value or indicator. It is based on the idea that integrating data from higher timeframes can help us to better identify short-term trading opportunities within the context of long-term market trends.
How does it work?
Let's use the context of this indicator, which calculates SuperTrend lines, as an example to explain how MTF Fusion works and how you can perform it yourself.
Step 1: Selecting Higher Timeframes
The first step is to determine the appropriate higher timeframes to use for the fusion calculation. These timeframes should typically be chosen based on their ability to provide meaningful price levels and action which actively affect the price action of the smaller timeframe you're focused on. For example, if you are trading the 5 minute chart, you might select the 15 minute, 30 minute, and hourly timeframe as the higher timeframes you want to fuse in order to give you a more holistic view of the trends and action affecting you on the 5 minute. In this indicator, four higher timeframes are automatically selected depending on the timeframe of the chart it is applied to.
Step 2: Gathering Data and Calculations
Once the higher timeframes are identified, the next step is to calculate the data from these higher timeframes that will be used to calculate your fused values. In this indicator, for example, the values of SuperTrend lines are calculated by determining the value of the SuperTrend indicator for all four higher timeframes.
Step 3: Fusing the Values From Higher Timeframes
The next step is to actually combine the values from these higher timeframes to obtain your 'fused' indicator values. The simplest approach to this is to simply average them. If you have calculated the value of a SuperTrend line from three higher timeframes, you can, for example, calculate your 'multi-timeframe fused level' as (HigherTF_SuperTrend_1 + HigherTF_SuperTrend_2 + HigherTF_SuperTrend_3) / 3.0.
Step 4: Visualization and Interpretation
Once the calculations are complete, the resulting fused indicator values are plotted on the chart. These values reflect the fusion of data from the multiple higher timeframes, giving a broader perspective on the market's behavior and potentially valuable insights without the need to manually consider values from each higher timeframe yourself.
What makes this script unique? Why is it closed source?
While the process described above is fairly unique and sounds simple, the truly important key lies in determining which higher timeframes to fuse together, and how to weight their values when calculating the fused end result in such a way that best leverages their relationship for useful TA.
This MTF Fusion indicator employs a smart, adaptive algorithm which automatically selects appropriate higher timeframes to use in fusion calculations depending on the timeframe of the chart it is applied to. It also uses a dynamic algorithm to adjust and weight the SuperTrend calculations depending on each higher timeframe's relationship to the chart timeframe. These algorithms are based on extensive testing and are the reason behind this script's closed source status.
Unlike in the original indicator, flat/'No Trend' areas exist in MTF Fusion SuperTrend!
MTF Fusion SuperTrend only shows a Fusion SuperTrend when the majority of SuperTrends from higher timeframes are in agreement and signaling the same trend direction . So, unlike the original SuperTrend indicator, MTF Fusion SuperTrend sometimes shows no SuperTrend line at all - typically in flat or indecisive areas, which we think is beneficial and helps to filter out noise on smaller timeframes.

Dodge Trend [MyTradingCoder]Introducing the "Dodge Trend" indicator, an innovative variant of the Supertrend indicator designed to help traders better avoid fakeouts and maintain positions in established trends.
Like the Supertrend, the Dodge Trend uses Average True Range (ATR) but incorporates a unique adaptive adjustment feature that differentiates it from its counterparts. While the conventional Supertrend rises with the trend and only descends when the price crosses it, the Dodge Trend is designed to 'dodge' potential fakeouts.
This 'dodging' mechanism works by allowing the Dodge Trend to fall slightly during pullbacks, reducing the risk of a premature exit due to a temporary price drop. The recovery rate after the pullback is quicker but is slightly lower than the rate at which a new Dodge Trend high would be established in an uptrend. This unique adjustment feature allows the Dodge Trend to chase price action in an exponential fashion, potentially enabling a quicker exit when the trend shifts.
Key Settings:
Length: Adjust how much price action is taken into consideration for the ATR average. Lower values yield higher responsiveness to recent price action.
Size: Determines the initial deviation of the Dodge Trend when it resets after every flip/break.
Source: Specifies the data point (close, high, open, low, hl2, etc.) used for the Dodge Trend.
Dodge Intensity: Adjusts the intensity of the pullback effect. Higher values result in more intense pullbacks. Range is limited between 0 and 99, with 95 as the recommended default.
Bullish Color Setting: Sets the color for the uptrend Dodge Trend.
Bearish Color Setting: Sets the color for the downtrend Dodge Trend.
Dodge Trend is a powerful tool for traders looking to ride trends and avoid unnecessary exits due to short-term price fluctuations. While it offers a unique feature that may potentially improve trading outcomes, it should be used in conjunction with other indicators and analysis methods for a comprehensive trading strategy. As with all tools, it does not guarantee profitable trades but aims to give traders more actionable and precise information to base their decisions on.
Experience trend-following in a more adaptive and efficient manner with the Dodge Trend indicator, a tool designed to help you 'dodge' false exits and stay in line with the overall trend.
