The SuperTrend Oscillator Binary Options indicator transforms the classic SuperTrend trend-following logic into an oscillator format, providing clear visual signals for trend direction and potential entry points specifically designed for short-term trading scenarios. By normalizing the distance between price and the SuperTrend level, it allows traders to visualize trend strength and reversals within a bounded lower pane.

Usage

The indicator can be used to identify trend shifts and potential trade setups:

  • Trend Identification: When the oscillator is above the zero line and colored green, the market is in an uptrend. When it is below the zero line and colored red, the market is in a downtrend.
  • Entry Signals: The tool plots arrows at the bottom of the oscillator pane to signal potential entries. An up arrow suggests a bullish setup, while a down arrow suggests a bearish setup based on trend changes.
  • Performance Tracking: For binary options traders, the script includes "win/lose" markers (flags and circles) that visually backtest the success of signals over a specified period.

Details

The script calculates the standard SuperTrend using an Average True Range (ATR) multiplier. Instead of plotting on the price chart, it calculates the difference between the current price and the SuperTrend line (close - SuperTrend). This value is then plotted as a histogram and line.

Additionally, the script incorporates a 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the oscillator values to identify "weak" trend movements (labeled as sptLvlwup and sptLvlwdn in the code), which can change the visual appearance of the bars to help filter out low-momentum moves.

Settings

  • SuperTrend Length: The lookback period used for the ATR calculation.
  • SuperTrend Multiple: The multiplier applied to the ATR to determine the distance of the SuperTrend line.
  • Use Barcolors?: Enables or disables changing the colors of the price bars on the main chart based on the oscillator state.
  • Buy/sell period: Sets the candle offset used to evaluate the win/loss condition.
  • Show win/lose: Toggles the visibility of the success/failure markers (flags and circles).
  • Show usl 1: Toggles the visibility of the entry arrows at the bottom of the pane.

FAQ

How do I interpret the histogram colors?

The histogram changes color based on trend transitions. Bright colors typically indicate the initial shift in trend direction, helping to highlight the moment a reversal is confirmed.

What do the flags and circles at the top mean?

These are performance markers. A green flag indicates a "win" based on the entry signal and the defined period, while a red circle indicates a "loss."
