Super trend V
Jun 3, 2020

The Super trend V indicator provides a specialized trend-following framework that integrates Volume Price Trend (VPT) calculations with adaptive SuperTrend logic to identify trend reversals and potential take-profit zones.
Usage
The Usage section focuses on identifying trend direction through the combination of visual EMA crossovers and SuperTrend signals.
- Trend Identification: The script plots two primary EMAs (labeled C and O). When the green EMA is above the red EMA, the market is considered in an uptrend. The background fill between these lines changes color to reflect this momentum.
- Trade Signals: "Buy" labels appear when the price crosses above the SuperTrend line while the EMA alignment is bullish. Conversely, "Sell" labels appear when the price crosses below the SuperTrend line during bearish EMA alignment.
- Exit Points: The indicator includes "TP" (Take Profit) labels. These are generated based on a linear regression slope and standard deviation bands. A "TP" label appearing near the upper band (z1) suggests a potential reversal or exhaustion point for long positions, while labels near the lower band (x1) suggest the same for shorts.
Details
The Super trend V indicator is constructed using a multi-layered approach to price and volume analysis:
- VPT Integration: Unlike standard SuperTrend versions that use closing prices, this script calculates a custom Volume Price Trend (VPT) base derived from spread volume (the relationship between price movement and volume). This base is smoothed and adjusted by price volatility to create an "out" source for calculations.
- Adaptive Smoothing: The EMAs used for trend filtering utilize a dynamic length calculation that adjusts based on the chart's timeframe, attempting to maintain consistent sensitivity across different periodicities.
- Linear Regression Slope: The take-profit zones are calculated using a custom function that determines the slope and intercept of price action over a defined period. This allows the indicator to project deviation bands that adjust to the current market angle rather than remaining static.
Settings
The settings are categorized by their influence on trend sensitivity and exit calculations:
- Timeframe Multiplier: Adjusts the sensitivity of the internal EMA smoothing lengths relative to the current chart timeframe.
- SuperTrend Multiplier: Determines the offset of the SuperTrend line using Average True Range (ATR). Higher values result in a line further from price, reducing noise.
- SuperTrend Period: Sets the lookback period for the ATR calculation used in the SuperTrend logic.
- TP Multiplier: Controls the width of the standard deviation bands used for take-profit signals.
- TP Length: Sets the lookback period for the linear regression slope and standard deviation calculations.
FAQ
How do I interpret the Buy and Sell labels? Buy and Sell labels are generated when price breaks the SuperTrend level in alignment with the EMA-based momentum filter, signaling a high-probability trend shift.
What is the purpose of the TP labels? TP labels indicate that the price has reached a statistical extreme based on the current linear regression slope, suggesting a favorable area to lock in profits or tighten stop-losses.
