Description

The Super Trend Indicator is a powerful and accurate technical analysis tool based on the well-known Super Trend algorithm. Designed with professional standards, it offers everything a trader needs to follow the market trend clearly and confidently.

This version of the Super Trend stays 100% loyal to the original formula: it uses the Average True Range (ATR) as the core to calculate dynamic support and resistance levels, which then define the current trend direction. When price closes above a dynamic level, the trend is considered bullish; when it closes below, the trend is considered bearish.

The indicator includes an intuitive and highly functional multi-timeframe dashboard. This dashboard gives you an instant overview of the current trend direction on multiple timeframes — helping you make better decisions by aligning your trades with the higher-timeframe trends.

Input Parameters

  • ATR Period: This value defines the number of bars used to calculate the Average True Range. A higher value smooths the results, while a lower value makes the trend more responsive.
  • ATR Multiplier: This multiplier is applied to the ATR value to create a margin around price. It defines how sensitive the trend change is. A higher multiplier makes the trend more conservative, while a lower value makes it more aggressive.
  • Max History Bars: This setting controls how many past candles the indicator should evaluate when it is loaded. It helps improve performance by limiting historical data.
  • Dashboard Options: This group of settings lets you enable or disable the dashboard, choose which timeframes to display, and customize the dashboard's visual style (colors, layout, etc).
  • Alerts: You can enable different types of alerts such as popup, sound, email, or mobile push notifications. Alerts can be triggered when the trend changes, when price touches the Super Trend line, or according to your custom strategy.

Additional Benefits

  • Non-Repainting: Once a trend signal is plotted, it will not change. This gives you reliable data to backtest or to trade in real time.
  • Non-Backpainting: The indicator does not alter past signals after they’ve been created, ensuring honest and accurate visual results.
  • Fully Customizable: Every aspect of the indicator — from visual style to calculation settings — can be adjusted to fit your personal trading style.

Really solid indicator for spotting the long-term trend of a pair and trading in the right direction. It would be even better if the dashboard was made smaller to fit compact chart windows. Great work, though!

Frequently Asked Questions

The Super Trend is a trend-following technical indicator that uses the Average True Range (ATR) to create a dynamic line on the chart. This line acts as a trailing support or resistance level. When the price closes above this line, the trend is considered bullish; when it closes below, the trend is bearish. It is widely used for its clarity and reliability in showing trend direction.

The main inputs include the ATR Period, ATR Multiplier, Max History Bars, Dashboard Settings, and Alerts Settings. These parameters allow you to control how the indicator behaves, how it looks, how much data it processes, and what kind of notifications it provides when certain conditions are met.

The ATR Multiplier sets how far the Super Trend line is placed from the price based on the ATR value. A lower multiplier will make the indicator more reactive and signal more frequent trend changes, while a higher multiplier will make it more conservative and filter out smaller movements.

No. This version of the Super Trend is fully non-repainting and non-backpainting. Once a signal is generated on a historical candle, it will never change. This ensures reliability for both backtesting and live trading scenarios.

The multi-timeframe dashboard is an on-screen panel that shows the trend status of the Super Trend indicator across different timeframes (such as M5, M15, H1, H4, D1). It helps traders align trades with broader market trends and provides quick visual confirmation without switching charts.

The indicator supports alerts for trend changes, price touching the Super Trend line, and more. You can receive these alerts via popups, sound notifications, email, or mobile push notifications, depending on your platform’s capabilities.

Yes, the Super Trend can be integrated into expert advisors or automated strategies, provided that your trading platform supports the use of custom indicators. Since it is non-repainting, it is suitable for real-time decision-making within algorithms.

Absolutely. The Super Trend works well across all major markets including Forex, stocks, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. You might need to adjust the ATR Period and Multiplier depending on the volatility of the instrument.

First, try reducing the Max History Bars setting, as loading too many past candles can affect performance. Ensure that your platform is updated, and try disabling extra dashboard timeframes to conserve system resources. If issues persist, consult the Installation or Troubleshooting guide.

This version was created by Arturo López Pérez, a private investor, software engineer, and founder of Point Zero Trading Solutions. He is known for developing high-quality, transparent trading tools for professional and retail traders.

Yes, nearly every aspect can be tailored — including colors, ATR parameters, timeframes displayed in the dashboard, and alert preferences. This allows you to adapt the tool to match your specific trading style and charting needs.

While mobile support is limited, the indicator works best on desktop platforms that support custom scripts, such as MetaTrader or compatible web platforms. Some alerts may still function on mobile if your platform supports push notifications.

Typically, a green line means the trend is bullish (suggesting buy signals), and a red line means the trend is bearish (suggesting sell signals). These colors can be customized in the settings depending on your chart preferences.

While the Super Trend is a strong trend indicator, it is best used alongside other tools such as support/resistance zones, candlestick analysis, and volume indicators. Many traders use it as a core signal within a larger strategy framework for confirmation and timing.
