What is Super Trend?

Super Trend is an indicator that teaches you the direction of the trend and the timing of reversals by drawing a single line on the chart. It calculates a band based on ATR (average true range) and determines that a trend has reversed when the price breaks the band.

If Bollinger Super Trend is the Bollinger Band-based variant, this version uses ATR as-isoriginal calculation methodIt moves in a simpler and more straightforward manner, making it recommended for first-time users of Super Trend.

The mechanism is simple:

↑

During an uptrend, a blue line appears below the pricebelow

↓

During a downtrend, a red line appears above the priceabove the price

When a trend reverses, anarrowappears

By looking at the chart alone, you can intuitively tell whether it’s a buying or selling opportunity. Even if your chart is cluttered with many indicators, this displays cleanly and is recommended.

Key points

The line only moves in one direction. In an uptrend it does not go down, and in a downtrend it does not go up. This characteristic makes it very easy to use as a trailing stop.

Three basic uses

Timing entries

Use the moment when the arrows appear as a guide for entries—the simplest method. Buy when a blue upward arrow appears and sell when a red downward arrow appears.

However, no indicator is 100% accurate. Combining with other indicators to filter signals can improve accuracy.

Confirm trend on a higher timeframe

For example, if the 1-hour chart shows an uptrend, look for refined entry timing on 5-minute or 15-minute charts. The workflow “confirm on higher time frame → enter on lower time frame” is a common practice among many traders.

Since you can display the same indicator on multiple timeframes, this approach pairs very well with it.

Use as a guide for manual trailing stops

While holding a position, use the Super Trend line as a guide for your stop loss. In an uptrend, the line steps up, so a rule like “close below the line at a close wins” lets you extend profits while lifting the exit level.

Unlike automatic trailing stops, this is flexible because you can decide manually.

This indicator’s key points

Super Trend itself is simple, but this version includes robust customization options to improve usability.

Decide reversal using wick or body

Choosing by wick makes it reactive but less reliable; deciding by body is a bit slower but yields more reliable signals. You can switch according to market conditions and preferences.

Four ATR calculation methods to choose from

These affect line smoothness and reaction speed. The default SMMS is a commonly used standard setting. Try the others once you’re comfortable.

Operate on close bars (default)

Signals do not appear until bars close. This prevents signals from flashing or disappearing mid-bar. Particularly recommended for beginners.

Alerts keep you informed even when you’re away from the chart

When a reversal signal occurs, you’ll get a pop-up, sound, or smartphone notification, so you won’t miss the reversal timing even if you’re not watching the chart constantly.

Summary

Super Trend is an indicator that is “simple to use yet deep.” Beginners should start with the default settings to identify trend direction, and as you gain experience, customize settings to find your own way of using it.

Please try displaying it on your chart and see how it moves.
