SuperTrendS
Mar 15, 2022

The SuperTrendS indicator provides a comprehensive trend-following toolkit that allows users to toggle between Regular ATR-based SuperTrend, Pivot Point SuperTrend, and ZigZag-based SuperTrend variations. It aims to offer flexibility in trend identification by integrating a Jurik RSX momentum filter to highlight potential exhaustion points and trend reversals through dynamic color changes.
Usage
The script is designed to help traders identify prevailing market trends and potential reversal points. Users can choose their preferred calculation method:
- Regular SuperTrend: Uses the traditional Average True Range (ATR) calculation to define trend directions.
- Pivot Point SuperTrend: Utilizes Pivot Points instead of ATR to determine the trend baseline, offering a different perspective on price structure.
- ZigZag SuperTrend: Incorporates ZigZag logic to filter out minor price fluctuations and focus on significant market swings.
The Jurik RSX integration acts as a momentum filter. When the SuperTrend is in a bearish state but the RSX is overbought, the line changes to purple, signaling a potential reversal. Conversely, when the SuperTrend is bullish but the RSX is oversold, the line turns orange, suggesting the trend might be overextended.
Details
This tool combines several popular technical analysis concepts into a single interface. The Pivot Point version uses the relationship between recent high/low pivots and a calculated center line to determine trend shifts. The script also supports visual aids such as Buy/Sell labels, support and resistance levels (circles), and pivot point markers (H/L labels). The inclusion of the Jurik RSX provides a smoother version of the Relative Strength Index, reducing noise while maintaining responsiveness to price action.
