Supertrend
supertrend strategyHI,
today I have finished to study another strategy, this time I have done a supertrend with a positive backtest untill 2015 in ETH / BTC pair.
It is very simple to understand and there are only 4 parameters:
The first 2 parameters are about supertrend u can change it as u want.
The last 2 parameters are about trailing stop and target profit, personally I use target 9.6% and trail 8%.
That's all, this is a very simple and profittable strategy.
My personal setting are 4,7,8,9.6
For info write me in private

Trend Indicator A-V2" and "Trend Indicator B-V2" are updated and improved versions of my initial trend indicators. Totally rethinking the code, adding highs and lows in the calculations, including some more customisation through colour schemes.
In practice, this indicator uses EMAs and Heikin Ashi to provide an overall idea of the trend.
The "Trend Indicator A-V2" is an overlay showing “Smoothed Heikin Ashi”.
Please, take into account that it is a lagging indicator.
WARNING:
- For purpose educate only - My mission is to debunk fake strategies with code to find THE ONE.
- Plots EMAs and other values on chart.
- This script to change bars colours.
Supertrend + Stoch StrategyA strategy using ema , supertrend and stochastic .
Long entry conditions:
1. EMA 25 > EMA 50 and EMA 100 > EMA 100.
2. Supertrend indicator is green.
3. Stochastic k line cross over d line.
Long stop: the lowest price of the last k<d interval.
Long take: 1.5 times of stop.
The short conditions are opposite.
This strategy performed well in 1D timeframe of lots of cryptocurrency pairs. If you want to use it on 4H timeframe, you might need to finetune the parameters. But it is not recommended to use it on smaller timeframe due to the commission.
A Multi Pair Signal Alarm Version is also provided.
Supertrend + Stoch Strategy Multi-pair Signal AlarmBITSTAMP:BTCUSD
An entry alarm on Supertrend Stoch Strategy . It can monitor 10 trading pairs in one alarm.
Use this script on any trading pair and deploy the alarm. The alert comment shows the pair name, direction, entry point, sl/tp, and percentage of your position you should cost.
I currently use it as a signal for my grid trading.

Also, you can use it for averaging of your existing position.
Conditions used:
Relative closing price
Relative volume against previous bar and overall moving average of volume
Volume analysis

7 Moving Averages [Plus]Moving Averages are price based, lagging (or reactive) indicators that display the average price of a security over a set period of time. A Moving Average is a good way to gauge momentum as well as to confirm trends, and define areas of support and resistance. Essentially, Moving Averages smooth out the “noise” when trying to interpret charts. Noise is made up of fluctuations of both price and volume. Because a Moving Average is a lagging indicator and reacts to events that have already happened, it is not used as a predictive indicator but as an interpretive one for confirmations and analysis.
Bollinger Bands (BB) are a widely popular technical analysis instrument created by John Bollinger. The BB consist of a band of three lines which are plotted in relation to security prices. The line in the middle is usually a Simple Moving Average (SMA) set to a period of 20 days (the type of trend line and period can be changed by the trader; however a 20 day moving average is by far the most popular). The SMA then serves as a base for the Upper and Lower Bands which are used as a way to measure volatility by observing the relationship between the Bands and price. Typically the Upper and Lower Bands are set to two standard deviations away from the SMA (The Middle Line); however the number of standard deviations can also be adjusted by the trader.
This script shows 6 moving averages and Bollinger Bands.
Features:
- Standard MA inputs.
- MA type.
- MA period.
- MA source.
- MA resolution (time frame).
- MA Offset.
- Forecasting : forcasted prices are calculated using our MAType and MASource for the MAPeriod.
- Trail: Show only candles not included in the MA calculation.
The color of MA1 depends on the chosen strategy, by default this is the 3EMA strategy. You can also select "Pivot Point Supertrend" or "Ichimoku Trend"
Added "Parabolic Stop and Reverse (PSAR)" . The PSAR is a time and price technical analysis tool primarily used to identify points of potential stops and reverses. In fact, the SAR in Parabolic SAR stands for "Stop and Reverse". The indicator's calculations create a parabola which is located below price during a Bullish Trend and above Price during a Bearish Trend.
Added "Linear Regression Channel" which can be correctly plotted on logarithmic charts. A linear regression channel consists of a median line with 2 parallel lines, above and below it, at the same distance. Those lines can be seen as support and resistance. The median line is calculated based on linear regression of the closing prices but the source can also be set to open, high or low. The height of the channel is based on the deviation of price to the median line. Extrapolating the channel forward can help to provide a bias and to find trading opportunities.
Keltner Center Of Gravity Channel ( KeltCOG )I have the ambition to create a ‘landscape’ which enables the user to see the ‘mood’ of the market about the price of an instrument, simply by looking where the candles go. Prices are a simple phenomenon , they go up or down or stay the same. This is represented quite well for the short term by a candle. I recommend to study candle patterns. Prices not only fluctuate but also trend up, down or go sideways. The user should analyze this by determining the COG (Center Of Gravity) and the ‘normal’ current range by using the historical data in a lookback period.
As a COG the center line of a Donchian Channel is often used. I.m.o. a COG should be a zone, in this channel I use the gray zone of my Donchian Fibonacci Channel, The ‘normal’ range is a multiple of Average True Range, as used in a Keltner Channel. Combining the two can give a cumbersome result, as one can see in my Keltner Fibonacci Channel. In this KeltCOG channel I solved this by not using all Fibonacci levels and by making the Keltner lines strictly parallel to the nearest COG line. To do this, I use the fact that the COG lines have horizontal stretches, there I make the Keltner lines horizontal too. Only where the COG lines change value, the Keltner lines are recalculated. This way the channel gets a very regular shape with three clear zones.
Interpretation of a chart by using the KeltCOG channel.
Overbought: If the candles go higher then the blue zone, the market is hyper enthusiast, creating an overbought situation. This is often followed by a reversion to the COG.
Uptrend: If the candles form in the blue zone, the market is enthusiast and willing to pay more.
Hopeful: If the candles form in or near the upper uncolored zone, the market is hopeful and is thinking about paying more. Sometimes prices go a little up.
Content: If the candles form in the gray zone, which represents COG, the market is happy with the current prices, so these move sideways
Disappointed: If the candles form in or near the lower uncolored zone, the market is disappointed and contemplates paying less, sometimes prices go a little down.
Downtrend: If the candles form in red zone, the market doesn’t like the instrument at all, rejects the current price and is only prepared to pay less.
Oversold: If the candles form below the red zone, the market overdoes its disgust, creating an oversold situation, often followed by a reversion to the COG.
HPH's SuperKeltnerThis indicator combines the Supertrend (to determine the main trend direction) with two Keltner channels (used for add and take profit signals) to construct a trend trading system.
These are the available settings:
General
UseTrendChange ➞ toggle trend change alerts and labels
UseAdds ➞ toggle add to position alerts and labels
UseTakeProfits ➞ toggle take profit alerts and labels
PrematureAdds ➞ toggle adding to position as soon as the add channels are left (default is false, so the add signal will only fire once the channels are re-entered)
PrematureTakeProfits ➞ toggle taking profit as soon as the tp channels are left (default is false, so the tp signal will only fire once the channels are re-entered)
Visualization
Show Add Keltner ➞ toggle display of the channels used for adding to the position
Show TP Keltner ➞ toggle display of the channels used for taking profit
Show SuperTrend ➞ toggle display of the Supertrend
Keltner
Standard Keltner channels settings except for the fact that there are two different multipliers. The Keltner TP Multiplier should generally be bigger than the Keltner Add Multiplier , as the channels are hit differently in trending markets. I recommend you to use the visualization settings to show the channels and adjust the settings to your liking.
Supertrend
Standard Supertrend settings, nothing to add here.
Alerts
Use the alert messages to customize what alert text the indicator will send. This makes it possible to use the script to automate trading bots.
By default, the alerts are sent after the candle has closed. This ensures that no repainting is happening. If you like the risk, you can toggle the corresponding WaitFor Confirmation if you wish to receive the signals earlier (max. once per bar).
Enjoy!
MACD + CMF + EMA + Supertrend by TradeSmartHello everyone and welcome to our first script release!
This script is one of many upcoming scripts. This one is a test for us, how it works, how you guys like this kind of stuff, and for feedback what we should change/improve at.
SCRIPT IS OPTIMIZED FOR:
EUR/USD 30 MINUTE TIMEFRAME
Video of the Strategy:
Search for “MACD + CMF + 200 EMA + Supertrend Trading Strategy Tested 100 Times with Great Results!” on our channel.
In this video you can find the exact strategy we programmed, just one added feature: Supertrend trailing stop loss. (position gets closed once the price hits the Supertrend indicator)
Now you can modify the following:
MACD settings
Supertrend settings
EMA settings
CMF settings
We will update the script with more and more features.
The first update will be:
Modifiable risk to reward ratio.
I will make a video of how to use this indicator next week, explaining all the features and more!
Hope you like it! Don't forget to let us know what we should change or improve. Thanks, and have a great day!
STRATEGY ENTRY RULES
LONG
When CMF is above 0 and price is under EMA. Also MACD has made a double cross above the zero line (meaning one cross down and one cross up by the MACD line). Then go long!
Note:
MACD or Signal must return under 0 in order to start a new position
If either of the MACD lines touches the 0 line before entry, we skip the trade and wait for the next signal.
SHORT
When CMF is under 0 and price is under EMA. Also MACD has made a double cross under the zero line (meaning one cross up and one cross down by the MACD line). Then go short!
Note:
MACD or Signal must return under 0 in order to start a new position.
If either of the MACD lines touches the 0 line before entry, we skip the trade and wait for the next signal.
TAKE PROFIT
When price hits the exit price (calculated from stop loss with the risk ratio), then exit with 50% of the position. The other 50% will stay open until the price hits the supertrend or the base stop loss.
STOP LOSS
When price hits stop loss then exit the position. Stop loss is calculated from the Supertrend and it is a trailing one, meaning it changes based on the movement of the price.
QUANTITY TO BUY
The quantity to buy is based on the Risk Per Trade % attribute. This means that we can set how much money we want to risk on one trade. Meaning that if we lose that particular position, then a Risk Per Trade % value of our equity will be lost.
Example: if you set the Risk Per Trade % to 1 % and you have a 100$ account balance, then if you loose the trade you will loose 1$ max.

Multilevel ZigZag SupertrendVery much similar to :
I have slightly changed code to accommodate multiple zigzags. Also removed possibility of external source to keep it simple.
Indicator shows 2 Level zigzag based supertrends. Second zigzag used is multi level zigzag and hence, this acts as higher timeframe filter and can be considered as overall trend bias.
SuperTrend+ DuoUses two SuperTrend+ indicators to signal when a change in trend is confirmed.
By using a minor trend within the major, a pullback after a turning point can signal a more optimal entry.
See SuperTrend+ for more details.
Double CCIThe Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is a momentum oscillator used in technical analysis primarily to identify overbought and oversold levels by measuring an instrument's variations away from its statistical mean. Besides overbought/oversold levels, CCI is often used to find reversals as well as divergences. Originally, the indicator was designed to be used for identifying trends in commodities, however it is now used in a wide range of financial instruments.
There are several steps involved in calculating the CCI. The following example is for a typical 14 Period CCI:
CCI = (Typical Price - 14 Period SMA of TP) / (.015 x Mean Deviation)
Typical Price (TP) = (High + Low + Close)/3
Constant = .015
The Constant is set at .015 for scaling purposes. By including the constant, the majority of CCI values will fall within the 100 to -100 range.
Mean Deviation:
1) Subtract the most recent 14 Period Simple Moving from each typical price (TP) for the Period.
2) Sum these numbers strictly using absolute values.
3) Divide the value generated in step 2 by the total number of Periods (14 in this case).
Overbought and Oversold conditions can be used in their more traditional sense to identify future reversals . Remember true overbought/oversold thresholds values can and often do vary between instruments.
During a Bullish Trend , price crossing above the overbought threshold may indicate strong confidence in the move and price will continue to rise.
During a Bearish Trend , price crossing below the oversold threshold may indicate strong confidence in the move and price will continue to fall.
The first option is a modified CCI indicator that uses the "Arnaud Legoux Moving Average" instead of the SMA, and the source uses the VWAP instead of the HLC3. Added to this version an option to calculate CCI with different types of moving averages:
Green dots mean they are overbought
Orange dots mean they are oversold
Added a "SuperTrend Background" based on the modified CCI indicator:
Bull event = CCI crossing over the 0 line
Bear event = CCI crossing below the 0 line
Added a signal as EMA (modified CCI, signal length)
The second option is a standard CCI indicator that shows a coloured histogram of important levels, giving a good visual of the CCI levels. Added to this version is an extra coloured level +/-200 and an option to use Traditional CCI calculations according to user @JustUncleL
LEVELS:
Aqua: Greater than 200.
Lavender: Greater than 100 and less than 200.
Dark Lavender: Greater than 0 and less than 100.
Dark Coral: Less than 0 and greater than -100.
Coral: Less than -100 and greater than -200.
Light Red: Less than -200.
[blackcat] L1 Tether LineLevel: 1
Background
Omega Research proposed Tether line in June 2000. I utilized it in fast-slow line form to follow trend.
Function
Due it can provides good support and resistance, using it as "moving average" fast-slow line form can provide very stable golden cross and dead cross signal.
You can adjust parameters to fit for your trading pair and use it and compare it with Supertrend indicator.
Key Signal
Tether_fast --> Tether Fast Line.
Tether_slow --> Tether Slow Line.
Remarks
This is a Level 1 free and open source indicator.
Feedbacks are appreciated.
Triple Supertrend + Stoch RSI + 200 EMA by @DaviddTechInspired by YouTube (again) I decided to backtest this strategy.
Here is my Triple Supertrend + Stoch RSI + 200 EMA v0.1 --
The Strategy :
Uses the 3 supertrends.
200 EMA
Stoch RSI
-- LONG --
* When over 200 ema and a Stoch RSI Cross happens below the oversold 20 then we wait for the 2 or 3 Supertrends to pass to green.
-- SHORT --
* When under 200 ema and a Stoch RSI Cross happens above the overbrought 80 then we wait for the 2 or 3 Supertrends to pass to red.
NOTES :
This was proven to be much better on manually backtesting. So, if you do spot a problem please DM me.

DCA_PREMIUMOur new indicator tracks trends to create buy and sell alerts, see below how it works.
HOW IT WORKS:
It uses RMA which is the same moving average used by RSI and HMA, they intersect give us an entry signal, be it a buy or sell, as the entry signal the script will color the bars according to the signal.
When a GREEN candle appears, it indicates a large purchase volume and when a PURPLE candle appears, it indicates a large sales volume.
The indicator will alert for entries only according to the trend of the traded asset
FOR EXAMPLE:
I am trading USDJPY in an uptrend, the indicator will only alert me for buy entries, if it applies to downtrend.
DASHBOARD:
Our dashboard indicates the volatility of the traded asset, the short-term trend and the trade signal.
HOW TO USE:
Choose the asset you want to trade and, in the settings, change the time period you want for your trading style, for example: Swing Trade, Day Trade or Position.
See regions with large trading volumes indicating price manipulation or just supports and resistances too strong to break.
ZigZag SupertrendBack to my favourite supertrend. But, this time on the basis of zigzag pivots.
This is similar to forming supertrend based on pivot high lows - but instead of using pivot poitns, we are using zigzag pivots here.
Zigzag is derived using the same method as this script:
But, have removed labels and display options of zigzag. Older lines are also immediately deleted so that it can work well in lower timeframes without any error. Number of zigzaglines to be kept in memory depends on the parameter History
WaitForConfirmation option when selected only considers the confirmed zigzaglines and will ignore present zigzag line which is forming. This is not going to make much difference as the present zigzag line will be always opposite to low or high it formed and hence will not affect the stop loss levels or reversals.
WaitForClose is for supertrend determination. When checked uses close prices. If unchecked uses highs and lows for supertrend direction update.
ATR parameters allow you to set an adjustment below pivot high lows. This is required because support and resistence are often zones rather than single point. Hence, adds bit more wiggle room for trend continuation and delays frequent reversals on pullbacks.
