SuperTrend Recovery

SuperTrend Recovery keeps the classic Supertrend engine (ATR-based bands that ratchet with the trend and flip on a break) and adds a recovery mechanism for the situation standard bands handle worst: a deep pullback that never becomes a full reversal. When price deviates from the trend's switch price by more than a defined ATR threshold, the band stops holding still and closes in on price through exponential smoothing (targetBand = alpha * close + (1 - alpha) * prevBand), tightening the trailing stop progressively while the trend bias stays intact.

How to Trade the SuperTrend Recovery?

• BULL state: price trades above the band, which acts as a dynamic stop for longs.
• BEAR state: price trades below the band, capping rallies for shorts.
• Flip markers: BULL/BEAR labels with a colored circle pinpoint each reversal's exact switch bar.
• Recovery tightening: after a deep adverse move, the band accelerates toward price, protecting more open profit if the recovery fails, without prematurely flipping the trend.

The gradient fill between price and the band keeps the active bias readable at a glance, which suits trend-following, trailing-stop management, and bias filtering in fast markets such as crypto and high-beta equities.

SuperTrend Recovery Settings

• ATR Length: volatility lookback; lower values make the band more responsive, higher values smooth it.
• Base Multiplier: baseline band distance; larger multipliers cut noise at the cost of wider stops.
• Recovery Alpha (%): how aggressively the band tightens once recovery mode engages.
• Recovery Threshold (xATR): adverse movement, in ATR units from the switch price, required to activate recovery.
• Show Gradient Fills / Show Signal Labels: visual toggles for the fills and BULL/BEAR labels.
