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
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.

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.

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.
█ Visualization Modes
Classic Supertrend
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.
TASC 2023.07 Keeping With The Larger Trend█ OVERVIEW
TASC's July 2023 edition of Traders' Tips features an article by Barbara Star titled "Stay On Track With The Supertrend Indicator". The article explores how the supertrend indicator , whether used as a standalone tool or in conjunction with other indicators, can assist traders in aligning with the larger trend. Drawing inspiration from the article, this script enhances the supertrend indicator with additional visual and analytical features, making it easier to analyze the readings and make informed trading decisions.
█ CONCEPTS
Over the past few years, the supertrend indicator has gained significant popularity among traders. Unlike moving averages, it incorporates both price and volatility information, enabling traders to navigate upward or downward trends despite occasional price disruptions.
When using the supertrend indicator, a trader may consider entering a long position when the price surpasses the supertrend line or retraces to it after the initial crossover. Similarly, for short positions, a trader could enter when the price drops below the supertrend line or retests it. Exiting these positions can be triggered by the opposite scenario, such as a price drop below the supertrend line for long positions or a price rise above the supertrend line for short positions. To assist in monitoring the distance between the price and the indicator line, this script introduces the following display features:
Breach levels, representing fractions of the most recent maximum distance.
On-chart signals indicating crossings of the highest and lowest breach levels.
An infobox displaying the average value of the maximum distance.
█ CALCULATIONS
For calculating the supertrend line, this script uses the built-in function ta.supertrend() . Additionally, the script showcases the use of state-of-the-art PineScript® functionality, including methods and tables .
MTF SuperTrends Nexus [DarkWaveAlgo]🧾 Description:
A nexus is a connection, link, or neuronal junction where signals and information are transmitted between different elements.
The MTF SuperTrends Nexus indicator serves as a nexus between MTF SuperTrends by facilitating the visualization of up to eight multi-timeframe SuperTrends, each with its own customizable timeframe, period, factor, and coloring customization. By combining these various SuperTrends, it helps you create a comprehensive view of MTF trend dynamics and cross-timeframe confluence according to the SuperTrend indicator.
It acts as a utility/control center that brings together multiple MTF SuperTrends and allows you to visualize the interactions between them with exceptional ease-of-use and customizability, helping to provide you with valuable insights into potential trend reversals, momentum shifts, and trading opportunities.
💡 Originality and Usefulness:
While there are other multi-timeframe SuperTrend indicators available, MTF SuperTrends Nexus' semi-transparent fills create a compounding opaqueness when SuperTrends from multiple timeframes coalesce - making visual assessment of cross-timeframe confluence extremely easy. We also believe it stands above the rest with its sheer quantity and quality of settings, features, and usability.
✔️ Re-Published to Avoid Misleading Values
This script has been re-published to ensure that it does not use `request.security()` calls using lookahead_on to access future data when referencing SuperTrend calculations from other timeframes. This decreases the likelihood that the indicator will provide deceiving values. This change has been made in accordance with the PineScript documentation: "Using barmerge.lookahead_on at timeframes higher than the chart's without offsetting the `expression` argument like in `close [ ]` will introduce future leak in scripts, as the function will then return the `close` price before it is actually known in the current context" and the Publishing Rule: "Do not use `request.security()` calls using lookahead to access future data". Historical and real-time values may differ when referencing timeframes other than the chart's.
💠 Features:
8 toggleable MTF SuperTrends with customizable timeframes, periods, and factors
Compounding filled areas for easy MTF SuperTrend confluence analysis
Aesthetic and flexible coloring and color theme styling options
End-of chart labels and options for ease-of-use and legibility

AIR Supertrend (Average Interpercentile Range)Supertrend (ST) is a popular stop loss and trend identification script. The simplicity of seeing a clean trend on a chart makes it attractive, yet it is restricted by only allowing the source, length and multiplier to be adjusted, & these tend to have a limited effect on the properties of the identified trend.
There is a wide variety of interesting ST scripts on TradingView that give the user more control, but none to my knowledge, based on measuring the statistical dispersion of Average Interpercentile Range (AIR).
Two more levels of control:
Normally, ATR Average True Range is used to calculate the range in ST. ATR is initially calculated using RMA to smooth out True Range. This script gives the user the option of changing the MA to some more interesting varieties & modifying their parameters.
The default range setting when you load the indicator on a chart will be AIR.
The real strength of the indicator, however, and the reason I am publishing it, is to release AIR. Play round with the percentile range setting. Lowering it will allow you to stay longer in a trade in a volatile market. Raising it will make it tighter.
For comparison, you can switch back the range setting to ATR and load up RMA to see how the original, classic ST plots.
Alerts are included in this version. Alway use a stop loss.
DISCLAIMER: None of this is financial advice.

Trend hunter strategy - buy & sellThe indicator combines multiple technical indicators and conditions to generate buy and sell signals.
Here's how the indicator works and how to use it:
Strategy Selection:
The indicator provides a dropdown menu to choose the type of strategy. The available options are "Pullback" and "Simple."
Supertrend Settings:
The Supertrend indicator is used to identify the trend direction.
The indicator takes two input parameters:
ATR Length: Specifies the length of the Average True Range (ATR) used in the Supertrend calculation. The default value is 10.
Factor: Specifies the factor used in the Supertrend calculation. The default value is 3.0.
EMA Settings:
The indicator also includes an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) condition.
You can enable or disable the EMA condition using the "Ema Condition On/Off" checkbox.
If enabled, the indicator calculates an EMA based on the close price.
You can specify the length of the EMA using the "Ema Length" input parameter. The default value is 200.
RSI Settings:
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator is used to generate additional conditions.
You can enable or disable the RSI condition using the "Rsi Condition On/Off" checkbox.
If enabled, the indicator calculates the RSI based on the close price.
You can specify the length of the RSI using the "Rsi Length" input parameter. The default value is 14.
Additionally, you can set the overbought and oversold levels for the RSI using the "RSI BUY Level" and "RSI SELL Level" input parameters, respectively. The default value for both is 50.
Final Conditions:
The indicator combines the Supertrend, EMA, and RSI conditions to generate buy and sell signals.
The specific conditions depend on the chosen strategy:
For the "Simple" strategy, the buy condition is when the Supertrend is in an up trend, not in a previous long position, the RSI is above the overbought level, and the close price is above the EMA.
For the "Pullback" strategy, the buy condition is when there is a cross under of the previous low with the Supertrend, the Supertrend is in an up trend, the RSI is above the overbought level, and the close price is above the EMA.
The sell conditions are the opposite of the respective buy conditions.
Backtest Period:
You can specify the start and end dates for the backtesting using the "Start calculations from" and "End calculations" inputs, respectively. The default start date is "2005-01-01" and the default end date is "2045-03-01." (this is work in progress) Still working on the table part, it is a bit tricky.
Trade Direction:
You can choose the trade direction using the "Trade Direction" input parameter. The available options are "Long," "Short," and "Both."
Depending on the selected trade direction, the indicator will generate signals accordingly.
Visual Display:
The indicator plots the Supertrend line on the price chart.
Buy signals are shown as green labels below the price bars.
Sell signals are shown as red labels above the price bars.
Adjust the input parameters according to your preferences, and then apply the indicator to a chart to see the generated signals. Please note that this indicator should be used for educational purposes only and should be thoroughly tested before using it for real trading.
Super Momentum Trend IndicatorThis is a trend momentum indicator that uses some of Ichimoku Cloud's core trading concepts and Supertrend, so before using this indicator, you can first understand Ichimoku Cloud, which is very helpful for understanding this indicator.
There are mainly the following ways to identify trends in Ichimoku Cloud.
1. The price is above or below the Tenkan-sen and the Kijun-sen
2. The Tenkan-sen crosses the Kijun-sen
3. The price breaks or falls below Leading Span B
4. Leading Span A crosses Leading Span B
I converted the above signal into the following expression (see chart):
1. Green dot: the price is above the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen
2. Red dot: the price is below Tenkan-sen and the Kijun-sen
3. Orange or blue dot: the price is between Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen
4. Triangular symbol: the Tenkan-sen crosses the Kijun-sen, and the price continues to stand firmly above or below Kijun-sen by 2 candles (prevent fake moves)
5.B1 signal: the price breaks or falls below Leading Span B
6. B2 signal: Leading Span A crosses Leading Span B (this expresses whether the color of the cloud is green or red in Ichimoku cloud)
The default for this indicator is Ichimoku Cloud turned off so that the charts are simpler, but you can turn it on if you want to check Ichimoku Cloud.
When you use this indicator, you can observe the changes of the dots:
1. The upward trend reverses to a downward trend (see chart)
What you will see is: green dots, orange dots, red dots, unless the price suddenly falls below the Tenkan-sen and the Kijun-sen, then you will see red dots directly without orange dots .
2. The downward trend reverses to an upward trend (see chart)
What you will see is: red dots, blue dots, green dots, unless the price suddenly breaks through the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen, then you will see the green dots directly without the blue dots.
The dot is usually the signal on the left-hand side, the triangle is between the left-hand side and the right-hand side, and B1/B2 is the signal on the right-hand side.
I recommend entry trades separately , and using Supertrend to judge the trend. This is why this indicator also adds two Supertrends.
Why not just use the Super Trend indicator?
Because SuperTrend only provides a pure uptrend or downtrend, it does not show the upcoming reversal.
And with the momentum dots added, when you see orange or blue dots, the trend may be about to reverse.
Therefore, this indicator can better capture the changing process of the trend.
What if the momentum dots are not trending as indicated by the SuperTrend indicator?
If the Super Trend shows a downward trend, but you frequently see green and blue dots, it means that the trend is likely to reverse upwards.
On the contrary, if the Super Trend shows an upward trend, but you frequently see red or orange dots, it means that it is likely to reverse downward.
Please remember that when you want to open a position, the trend direction of SuperTrend should be consistent with the direction of the dots momentum and signals. If they are inconsistent, you need more patience to judge the trend direction.
Which signal is most important?
When using these signals, you must remember that the dot belongs to the left-hand side signal, the triangle belongs to the half left-hand side and half right-hand side signal, and B1/B2 is the right-hand side signal. So I think the B1/B2 signal is the most important because of the meaning of B1 It means that the price has broken through the support or resistance of the cloud layer, and the meaning of B2 in Ichimoku Cloud is that the cloud (kumo) has reversed.
I backtested COINBASE:BTCUSDT for several signals of this indicator, and the B2 signal has a higher win rate.
Why two SuperTrends are used?
Because I found that there are many fake moves in the market, using two SuperTrends with different ATR multipliers can effectively identify fake moves.
Most Important Reminder:
The dot display, triangle signal, and B1/B2 signals have a sequential relationship with the timing of their appearance. During the process of trend change, you will definitely see the change of the dot first, then the triangle, and finally B1/B2, this is why I suggest that you should add positions separately.
If the signals on the chart are not displayed in sequence, it means that the trend has not reversed. Then adding positions separately at the beginning can just reduce your loss.
In addition, it is strongly recommended that you must understand the formula of Ichimoku Cloud, otherwise you may misuse this indicator.
How do I use this indicator?
1. I will build positions in batches when I see the triangle, B1, and B2 signals.
2. When you see Supertrend changing trend, or reverse triangle, you can consider ending position.
3. Triangle/B1/B2 and other signals should be in the same direction as Supertrend before entering the market.
4. When you see the green dot, you don’t need to rush to get into the market, you can wait for a triangle signal, because the triangle means that the conversion line (Tenkan-sen) crosses the base line (Kijun-sen), and the price stands firm on the base line (Kijun-sen) two candles above or below
5. If you are not sure why there is a triangle/B1/B2 signal in a certain place, you can open Ichimoku Cloud in settings to confirm for yourself.
========== 中文說明 (Chinese Explanation) ==========
這是一隻趨勢動量指標，使用了部分 Ichimoku Cloud 的核心交易理念與Supertrend，所以在使用這支指標之前，您可以先搞懂 Ichimoku Cloud，對於理解這隻指標很有幫助。
在 Ichimoku Cloud 中主要有以下幾種方式來確定趨勢。
1.價格在轉換線（Tenkan-sen）與 基準線（Kijun-sen）上方或下方
2.轉換線（Tenkan-sen）與 基準線（Kijun-sen）交叉
3.價格突破或跌破 Leading Span B
4. Leading Span A 與 Leading Span B 交叉
我將上述訊號轉換成以下表達方式（看圖）：
1.綠點：價格在轉換線（Tenkan-sen）與 基準線（Kijun-sen）之上
2.紅點：價格在轉換線（Tenkan-sen）與 基準線（Kijun-sen）之下
3.橘點或藍點：價格在轉換線（Tenkan-sen）與 基準線（Kijun-sen）之間
4.三角形符號：轉換線（Tenkan-sen）與 基準線（Kijun-sen）交叉，並且價格持續站穩 Kijun-sen 兩根K線（防止假突破）
5.B1 訊號：價格突破或跌破 Leading Span B
6.B2 訊號：Leading Span A 與 Leading Span B 交叉（這表達為雲的顏色是綠色還是紅色）
這隻指標的預設 Ichimoku Cloud 是關閉的，這樣圖表會更簡單，但如果你想檢查 Ichimoku Cloud ，可以隨時打開。
在你使用這支指標時，可以觀察圓點的變化：
1、向上趨勢反轉成向下趨勢(看圖)
你會看到的點順序是：綠點、橘點、紅點，除非價格突然跌破轉換線（Tenkan-sen）與 基準線（Kijun-sen），這時會直接看到紅點而沒有橘點。
2、向下趨勢反轉成向上趨勢（看圖）
你會看到的點順序是：紅點、藍點、綠點，除非價格突然突破轉換線（Tenkan-sen）與 基準線（Kijun-sen），這時會直接看到綠點而沒有藍點。
圓點通常是左側訊號，三角形介於左側與右側之間，而B1/B2則是右側訊號，我建議將倉位根據訊號顯示的前後順序分批下單，並且搭配 Supertrend來判斷趨勢，這也是為什麼這隻指標還加上了兩條 Supertrend 的原因。
為什麼不單純使用 Super Trend 指標？
因為 SuperTrend 只提供了單純的向上趨勢或向下趨勢，而不會顯示即將到來的反轉。
而加上動量圓點之後，當你看見橘點或藍點時，代表趨勢可能即將反轉。
因此這隻指標更能捕捉到趨勢的變化過程。
如果動量圓點跟 SuperTrend 指標顯示的趨勢不一樣怎麼辦？
如果 Super Trend 顯示向下趨勢，而你卻頻繁看到綠點跟藍點，代表趨勢很可能會向上反轉。
相反的，如果 Super Trend 顯示向上趨勢，而你卻頻繁看到紅點或橘點，代表很可能要向下反轉。
請記得，當你要建立倉位時，SuperTrend 的趨勢方向應該跟原點動量的方向是一致的，如果這兩個方向不一致，你需要更多的耐心來判別趨勢方向。
哪個訊號最重要？
使用這些訊號時必須記得，圓點屬於左側訊號，三角形屬於半左側半右側訊號，而B1/B2則是右側訊號，真的要我說的話，我認為B1/B2訊號最重要，因為B1的意義代表價格突破了雲層支撐或阻力，而B2在 Ichimoku Cloud 裡面的意義是雲朵（kumo）發生了反轉。
我針對這隻指標的幾個訊號對COINBASE:BTCUSDT進行了回測，B2訊號有較高的勝率。
為什麼使用了兩條 SuperTrend ?
因為我發現在市場經常會產生假突破，使用兩條 SuperTrend 並設置不同的 ATR 乘數，可以有效識別假突破。
最重要的提醒：
圓點的顯示、三角形訊號、B1/B2 這幾種訊號，它們出現的時間點是有順序關係的，趨勢轉變的過程，你一定會先看見圓點的變化，然後是出現三角形，最後出現B1/B2，這也是為什麼我建議你應該分批下單，如果圖表上的訊號沒有按照順序先後顯示，表示趨勢並沒有反轉，那麼一開始的分批下單，剛好可以降低你的虧損。
另外強烈建議，務必搞懂 Ichimoku Cloud 的公式，否則你可能會誤用這個指標。
我是如何使用這隻指標？
1.我會在看見三角形、B1、B2訊號時，分批建倉。
2.當你看到Supertrend改變趨勢，或是反向三角形時，可以考慮賣出。
3.三角形/B1/B2等訊號應該跟Supertrend是同一個方向時才可以進場。
4.當你看見綠點時，可以不用著急做多，可以再等一個三角形的訊號，因為三角形表示轉換線（Tenkan-sen）與 基準線（Kijun-sen）交叉，並且價格站穩在基準線（Kijun-sen）之上或之下兩天
5.如果你不確定某個地方為什麼會有三角形/B1/B2訊號，可以打在設定中打開Ichimoku Cloud自行確認。
BB Squeeze + SuperTrend + Keltner ChannelBollinger Bands and Keltner Channel are two of my favorite channels. When you use them correctly, they can bring great help to your trading.
I like to use Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels to identify when you can trade and when you can not trade, which is also known as the "squeeze".
When the opening of the Bollinger Bands is very small, it is a range that you can enter a trade, the range is called "Squeeze Zone" or "Trade zone".
When the opening of the Bollinger Bands is very large, it is a range that you cannot enter a trade, because the market fluctuates big when BB's opening is large.
I use two ways to identify when the Bollinger Bands's opening is very small or large, one is the Bollinger Bands entering Keltner Bands and one is using specific ATR ranges,. The first one allows you to identify when the market is squeezing and the second one allows you to identify when the market has entered Squeeze zone, that is, the market is already in a trading range suitable for entering a trade.(see chart.)
When the market is squeezed and you enter the trade, you can also use ATR as the stop loss price of the trade, I recommend using 2 ATR as your stop loss, and I also display them on the chart (see chart).
In addition, I also added SuperTrend to this indicator. SuperTrend is a very suitable for identifying trends. You can use SuperTrend to help you identify whether to go long or short.
This is how I use this indicator(See chart):
1.Only trade when market is in Squeeze Zone. (Thick yellow line in chart)
2.When entry a trade, use 2 ATR as stop loss. (Label in Chart)
3.Use Super trend to know to go long or short.
4.Keltner Channel helps to know when the market is squeezing. (Thin yellow line in chart.)
======== 中文說明 (Chinese Explanation) ========
Bollinger Bands（布林帶）跟 Keltner Channel（肯特納通道）是我最喜歡的兩個通道，當你正確使用它們時，它們可以替你的交易帶來非常大的幫助。
我喜歡用 Bollinger Bands 跟 Keltner Channel 來識別何時可以交易，何時不能交易，這個又稱做“擠壓操作”。當布林帶的開口很小時，便是可以交易的區間，而當布林帶的開口很大時，對我來說此時就是不可以交易的區間，因為此時市場的波動很大。
我使用兩種方式來識別當布林帶開口很小的時候，一種是布林帶進入肯特納通道，一種則使用特定的ATR範圍，前者可以讓你識別市場正在擠壓，後者則可以識別市場已經進入擠壓區間，也就是市場已經處於適合進入交易的交易區間。
當市場進入擠壓之後，而你也進入了交易，你還可以使用ATR來作為交易的止損價格，我建議使用2個ATR 來當作你的止損，而我也將他們顯示在圖表上了（見圖表）。
另外，我還在這個指標中加入了 SuperTrend（超級趨勢），SuperTrend 是一個非常適合用來辨別趨勢的指標，你可以使用 SuperTrend 來幫助你識別要做多還是做空。
這是我使用該指標的方式（見圖表）：
1.僅在市場處於交易區間時進行交易。 （圖中黃色粗線）
2.入場時，使用2個ATR作為止損。 （圖表中的標籤）
3.使用超級趨勢知道做多或做空。
4.Keltner Channel 有助於了解市場何時擠壓。 （圖表中的黃色細線。）
Supertrend - Optimised Exit We created a small script that will allow you to have a quick look into static SL/PT to choose from. This might save you time, replacing the manual search for optimal SL/PT.
We're checking signals of the strategy and computing its performance with a grid of SL/PT selected.
We used SuperTrend signals in this example, but it will be straightforward to integrate your signals.
In addition to total Return, we compute MAX Dd and Profit Factor. Other metrics can be implemented as well.
Thanks to @MUQWISHI for helping code it.

SuperBollingerTrend (Expo)█ Overview
The SuperBollingerTrend indicator is a combination of two popular technical analysis tools, Bollinger Bands, and SuperTrend. By fusing these two indicators, SuperBollingerTrend aims to provide traders with a more comprehensive view of the market, accounting for both volatility and trend direction. By combining trend identification with volatility analysis, the SuperBollingerTrend indicator provides traders with valuable insights into potential trend changes. It recognizes that high volatility levels often accompany stronger price momentum, which can result in the formation of new trends or the continuation of existing ones.
█ How Volatility Impacts Trends
Volatility can impact trends by expanding or contracting them, triggering trend reversals, leading to breakouts, and influencing risk management decisions. Traders need to analyze and monitor volatility levels in conjunction with trend analysis to gain a comprehensive understanding of market dynamics.
█ How to use
Trend Reversals: High volatility can result in more dramatic price fluctuations, which may lead to sharp trend reversals. For example, a sudden increase in volatility can cause a bullish trend to transition into a bearish one, or vice versa, as traders react to significant price swings.
Volatility Breakouts: Volatility can trigger breakouts in trends. Breakouts occur when the price breaks through a significant support or resistance level, indicating a potential shift in the trend. Higher volatility levels can increase the likelihood of breakouts, as they indicate stronger market momentum and increased buying or selling pressure. This indicator triggers when the volatility increases, and if the price is near a key level when the indicator alerts, it might trigger a great trend.
█ Features
Peak Signal Move
The indicator calculates the peak price move for each ZigZag and displays it under each signal. This highlights how much the market moved between the signals.
Average ZigZag Move
All price moves between two signals are stored, and the average or the median is calculated and displayed in a table. This gives traders a great idea of how much the market moves on average between two signals.
Take Profit
The Take Profit line is placed at the average or the median price move and gives traders a great idea of what they can expect in average profit from the latest signals.
