# SuperTrend Oscillator - User Guide

## Chapter 1: Introduction

The SuperTrend Oscillator is a versatile and powerful indicator designed to assist traders in identifying market trends, reversals, and momentum. This indicator leverages complex calculations and smoothing techniques to provide actionable signals. The SuperTrend Oscillator can be used for intraday, swing, and positional trading, making it suitable for various market conditions and trading styles.

## Chapter 2: Calculations Overview

The SuperTrend Oscillator relies on a combination of:

1. Trend Strength: Calculated using a weighted summation of price deviations over short and long periods.
   
2. Bull and Bear Lines: Derived from the typical price and smoothed using EMA to highlight underlying market trends.
   
3. Signal Lines: The crossing of trend lines and EMAs identifies potential entry and exit points.
   

### Key Elements:

- Typical Price: An average of open, high, low, and close prices.
- Lowest Low and Highest High**: Identified over specific periods to normalize the oscillator values.
- Exponential Moving Averages (EMA): Smoothing techniques to reduce noise and improve trend clarity.
- Threshold Levels: Critical levels (e.g., 25, 75) are used to identify oversold and overbought conditions.

## Chapter 3: Oscillator Visualization

The SuperTrend Oscillator plots two main components:

1. Bull and Bear Lines: Represent short-term and long-term trends.
   
2. EMA Crossovers: Highlight shifts in market momentum.
   

### Candle Width and Color:

• - Yellow Candles: Indicate a bullish phase in the short-term trend.
  
• - Fuchsia Candles: Indicate a bearish phase in the short-term trend.
  
• - Green Candles: Signal an uptrend in the long-term trend.
  
• - Red Candles: Signal a downtrend in the long-term trend.
  

NB: The width of the oscillator candles reflects the strength of the trend, with wider candles indicating stronger trends.

## Chapter 5: Trading Strategies

### Trend Following:
1. **Identify the Trend**:
- Use the color and slope of the oscillator candles.
- Green and yellow candles indicate an uptrend; red and fuchsia candles indicate a downtrend.
2. **Enter Trades**:
- Look for fast buy signals in an uptrend and fast sell signals in a downtrend.
3. **Exit Trades**:
- Use super exit signals to close positions.

### Range Trading:

- Monitor bull and bear lines oscillating within 25 to 75.
2. **Enter Trades**:
- Buy near oversold conditions (bull line < 25).
- Sell near overbought conditions (bull line > 75).

### Divergence Trading:
1. **Identify Divergence**:
- Compare the oscillator with price action.
2. **Enter Trades**:
- Buy when the price makes a lower low, but the oscillator makes a higher low.
- Sell when the price makes a higher high, but the oscillator makes a lower high.

2. **BankEntry Long**: When either short-term or long-term entry signals are triggered.
3. **Super Short**: When both short-term and long-term exit signals align.
4. **BankExit Short**: When either short-term or long-term exit signals are triggered.

### Setting Alerts:
