Supertrend
Supertrend
A volatility-adjusted trend-following indicator that flips bullish or bearish when price crosses through a dynamic ATR-based band.
Supertrend plots a single dynamic line that sits below price during uptrends (acting as support) and above price during downtrends (acting as resistance). The line's distance from price is set by ATR × a multiplier (default factor 3, ATR period 10) — so the indicator widens during volatile periods and tightens during calm ones.
When price closes through the line, the indicator "flips" — bullish becomes bearish or vice versa. That flip is the core signal. Supertrend is designed to keep traders in the trend until it materially changes, but it can whipsaw in choppy ranges. Pair with a regime filter (ADX, range detection) for better outcomes.
