Supertrend
Pivot Point SupertrendHello All,
There are many types of SuperTrend around. Recently I thought about a Supertrend based on Pivot Points then I wrote "Pivot Point SuperTrend" script. It looks it has better performance on keeping you in the trend more.
The idea is behind this script is finding pivot point, calculating average of them and like in supertrend creating higher/lower bands by ATR. As you can see in the algorithm the script gives weigth to past pivot points, this is done for smoothing it a bit.
As I wrote above it may keep you in the trend more, lets see an example:
As an option the script can show main center line and I realized that when you are in a position, this line can be used as early exit points. (maybe half of the position size)
While using Pivot Points, I added support resistance lines by using Pivot Point, as an option the script can show S/R lines:
And also it can show Pivot Points:
When you changed Pivot Point Period you can see its reaction, in following example PP period is 4 (default value is 2). Smaller PP periods more sensitive trendlines.
Alerts added for Buy/Sell entries and Trend Reversals. (when you set alerts use the option " Once Per Bar Close ")
ENJOY!
SuperTrendSuperTrend is one of the most common ATR based trailing stop indicators.
In this version you can change the ATR calculation method from the settings. Default method is RMA, when the alternative method is SMA.
The indicator is easy to use and gives an accurate reading about an ongoing trend. It is constructed with two parameters, namely period and multiplier. The default values used while constructing a superindicator are 10 for average true range or trading period and three for its multiplier.
The average true range (ATR) plays an important role in 'Supertrend' as the indicator uses ATR to calculate its value. The ATR indicator signals the degree of price volatility.
The buy and sell signals are generated when the indicator starts plotting either on top of the closing price or below the closing price. A buy signal is generated when the ‘Supertrend’ closes above the price and a sell signal is generated when it closes below the closing price.
It also suggests that the trend is shifting from descending mode to ascending mode. Contrary to this, when a ‘Supertrend’ closes above the price, it generates a sell signal as the colour of the indicator changes into red.
A ‘Supertrend’ indicator can be used on equities, futures or forex, or even crypto markets and also on daily, weekly and hourly charts as well, but generally, it fails in a sideways-moving market.
I had converted Supertrend indicator code for various platforms like Metastock in 2017, but in this TradingView version special credit goes to everget - Alex Orekhov which gave a great inspiration to look my indicators better with highlights, signals and alarms. Thank you Alex.
Supertrend MTF Heikin AshiThis is non-repaiting Supertrend Multi Time Frame script, uses Heikin Ashi Candles as source on normal chart
There is an option for Higher Time Frame. if you choose "Auto" then Higher Time Frame calculation is made by the script. If you choose "User Defined" option and then you can select Time Frame.
You better use this script with other indicators such as RSI, Momentum etc.
Enjoy!
SupertrendAn implementation of the supertrend indicator as it'll be implemented in build-in pine function
Supertrend calculates two values:
-supertrend
-direction
using the direction resistance and support are plotted.
Variable Cloud - evoA Super Trend based on the high and low of a Moving Average, to get an easy view what the current trend is and where to buy and sell.
TIPS
- The 'Closing Source' option is the candle value that triggers the clouds. 'High/Low System' means that a downtrend is over when the candle LOW closes greater than the downtrend (dark cloud), an uptrend is over when the candle HIGH closes less than the uptrend (light cloud). The other options speak for themselves.
- Ideally place your stop loss outside the cloud, as you want to stay in the trend until it breaks to the opposite direction (but that's up to you of course).
- Reversal trades are low probability, you can see them as reversals or ranging before the market continues, I like to lower my risk on those set ups till it breaks the dominant trend.
Here are the scripts I used:
Everget's SuperTrend
LazyBear's VMA
Thanks LazyBear and Everget, I learn a lot from your scripts :)
Variable SuperTrend - evoPlayed around with Lazy Bear's VMA and Gunazzi's SuperTrend Cloud .
It plots an uptrend if the low of a candle gets above the recent downtrend and plots a downtrend if the high of a candle gets below the recent uptrend, you have to wait for the candle to close to confirm the actual trend change.
I use it to give me a direction for longs or shorts, not as a stop/reverse indicator.
Thanks Lazy Bear and Gunazzi :)
BEST Supertrend MAHello traders,
That one is an experiment
I was curious to see what a supertrend based on moving average cross could give
How does it work?
Bull event: fast moving average crossing over the slow moving average
Bear event: fast moving average crossing under the slow moving average
When the event is triggered, the script will plot the Supertrend as follow
UP Trend = ohlc4+ ATR * Factor
DOWN Trend = ohlc4- ATR * Factor
Interesting to see the results given by ohlc4 vs hl2 and hl3

This is an alternative of the classical Supertrend based on candle close being above/beyond the previous Supertrend level.
Hope you'll enjoy it and it will improve your trading making you a better trader

BEST Supertrend CCIHello traders
Today I present you a Supertrend not based on candle close but based on a CCI (Commodity Channel Index)
How does it work?
Bull event: CCI crossing over the 0 line
Bear event: CCI crossing below the 0 line
When the event is triggered, the script will plot the Supertrend as follow
UP Trend = High + ATR * Factor
DOWN Trend = Low - ATR * Factor
This is an alternative of the classical Supertrend based on candle close being above/beyond the previous Supertrend level.
Hope you'll enjoy it and it will improve your trading making you a better trader

BEST Multicolor Supertrend InfoPanelHello traders
Today is a Pinescript hack to display multiple colors in one label.
I used that panel to show the Supertrend Long Term values (weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly)
What is a Supertrend?
Definition : SuperTrend is an indicator that works on all timeframes and all instruments (stocks, futures, forex, ...). It is a great tool to follow market trends and optimizes your profits.
SuperTrend evolves below or above the prices depending on the trend. You can use it as an exit position indicator when its direction changes. You can also use it to place your stops.
So.... the hack is?
The hack is about creating a new label for each line - versus creating just one label containing the whole text
Best regards,
Dave
Trend-Following Combo-SuperTrend, EMA, Aroon, DMI, Laguerre RSIThis is a trend-following indicator which condenses two SuperTrend indicators -- one based on analysis over a shorter period of time (1.5, 7), and one based on analysis over a longer period of time (1.65, 100) -- into a single indicator which appears on your chart only when both the shorter- and longer-term analysis indicates a "SuperTrend" in the same direction.
Additionally, potential trade entry indicators are displayed in the form of up and down arrows when (by default) three of the following five indicators suggest that the market is trending in the same direction as both the shorter- and longer-term SuperTrend indicators:
EMA Crossover (8, 15)
Aroon Indicator (8)
Aroon Oscillator (8)
Directional Movement Index (DI +/-) (8)
Laguerre RSI (13)
You may update the parameters of any of the indicators to match your own preferences.
Additionally, you may also adjust the "Threshold" of indicators that must be in agreement with the SuperTrend to show a potential trade entry arrow. Bear in mind that if you set the Indicator Threshold too low, you will see more frequent trade entry arrows, many of which will not be profitable if taken. Similarly, set this value too high, and you will see fewer trade entry arrows that may not appear until after most of the "juice" in the trend has evaporated. Ideal values for the threshold seem to be between 2-4, depending on the symbol you are trading.
The following image shows all of the indicators referenced above on a 5-minute chart of the SPY during a single trading day:
And, here is the same period of time showing only the Trend-Following Combo indicator with default settings:
This indicator would not have been possible save for work contributed by the following:

Super Trend Daily 2.0 Alerts BFThis is an alerts script for my Super Trend 2.0 indicator . It is intended as a companion script so you can backtest using the Strategy script and generate alerts using this Study script.
This Study script has the same default settings as the Strategy script and its only purpose is to provide alerts for the long and short signals the Strategy generates. Obviously, if you want to generate alerts based on a Strategy backtest, please ensure the settings are the same in the Study as in the Strategy.
For illustration, I have plotted arrows on the chart for long and short signals, and also colored the background to show when the rate of change function determines a choppy/sideways market.
ALERTS
There are 2 alerts set up:
Long Entry
Short Entry
ILLUSTRATION
Green arrow = Long Entry
Red arrow = Short Entry
White background = No short trades
Aqua background = No long trades
EXAMPLE USE CASE
1. Open a Bitcoin/USD chart on 1D timeframe.
2. Open this script and the Super Trend 2.0 indicator script.
3. Backtest with the Strategy Backtester and change the settings if you like until you get a desirable outcome for your own purposes.
4. Once you are happy with the backtest, change the settings in the Alerts script (this one) so they match the Strategy settings.
5. Set up the alerts according to your preferences.
Centerline SupertrendA centerline/non-chart indicator version of Everget's Supertrend script for use in NNFX-style indicator setups, with the emphasis on this indicator NOT adding visual clutter to the main charting area with a baseline indicator already present.
This is literally the EXACT same script as Everget's Supertrend, but not drawn on the chart and with the fill/stop and fill/state level removed.
Adjust to your timeframe/asset and backtest/forward-test accordingly.

Supertrend MTF Heatmap V2Hello traders and aspiring Pinescripters
You might remember this script Supertrend-Heatmap-Multi-timeframes/ ?
A follower, asked me in a comment to do a version where YOU guys can select the timeframes
Well... what follower asks, follower (sometimes) gets. I'm not Santa Claus but this is Christmas with a few months in advance (#oh #oh #oh)
Supertrend MTF LAG ISSUEThis script based on
we all use Super trend but it main issue is the lag as it buy too late or sell too late
using Deavaet study of Heat map MTF we can do a little trick
if you look on his study you can see that major signal for example will happen in the time frame before it happen at larger time frame
so in this example if signal at MTF 30 min and signal at MTF 60 min happen at the same time at 2 hours or 4 hours candles then this signal are more likely to be true then random signal at each time frame specific.
since we use shorter time frame on larger time frame we can remove the lag issue that make supertrend not so effective
In this example I set the signal to be MTF 30 +60 om 2 hour TF , can be good also for 4 hour candles..
So you get the signal to close inside the larger candle
now if you want to make on even shorter TF then change the code to 15 and 30 MTF on candles on 1 hour
or 1 and 5 min on 30 min or 15 min
Adaptive Autonomous Recursive Trailing StopIntroduction
Trailing stop are important indicators in technical analysis, today i propose a new trailing stop A2RTS based on my last published indicator A2RMA (1), this last indicator directly used an error measurement thus providing a way to create enveloppes, which provide a direct way to create trailing stops based on highest/lowest rules.
The Indicator
If you need a more detailed explanation of this indicator i encourage you to check the A2RMA indicator post i made, parameters does not differ from the supertrend, thus having a length parameter and a factor parameter who is here described as gamma , gamma control how far away are the bands from each others thus spotting longer terms trends when gamma is higher.
On BTCUSD
Something worth mentioning is that the indicator sometimes behave like my MTA trailing stop indicator (2) who is closer to the price when a trend persist thus providing early exit points, however A2RTS behave a bit better.
Price can sometimes break the trailing stop, this can be interpreted as a support/resistance or just as an exit point, the support resistance methodology on trailing stop is not the most recommended.
Sometimes it is recommended to have an higher length rather than an high gamma like in this case for INTEL CORP, below gamma = 3 and length = 20
The microprocessor market like to use higher length's instead of higher gamma's , A2RMA is a non-linear filter, this would explain such behaviour.
Conclusion
Trailing stops might not suffer as much from whipsaw trades than MA crossovers but they still remain inefficient when market is not trending, results of the proposed indicator on major forex pairs are more than disappointing, but i hope this will serve as basis for other trailing stops that might act a little bit better. I conclude this post by thanking everyone who support my work and i encourage you to modify this indicator and share it with the community.
Thanks for reading !

Supertrend collectorHello traders
This is an example of how you can add multiple indicators into a unique one
In this instance, I added two supertrend multitimeframes and draw them on a different timeframe chart

X system v1Similar to X system but here I use the super trend with MTF function
the sell option depend on the % channel sell seen in red as bearish rule (so both need to agree)
the buy option depend only on the MTF which is set on 2 hour on 1 hour candles. you can try to modify if you want shorter times to see if it better
if you want it sell more just remove the and bearish rule from t green for buy in the code
try to make it better and I hope it can help you :)
X systemSo how this system work ?
1. the bullish and bearish zones in lime and red are based on percent channel (you can modify it according to your needs) . this now is on 1 hour candles so I set it to 1% above and 3% bellow for BTC on bitmex.
2. we ha RSI super trend system which generate our buy and sell signals .
Since the Super trend is an RSI like it act like one as we can see when it go from high to low much more easy compare to regular super trend
One can optimize it to be full auto mode but it need more work to be much better and safe
This indicator aim is to help you in your decisions for buy and sell and I would not advise to use it as a bot but as a helper when you decide to buy and sell
