Technical
What is SuperTrend?
An ATR-based trailing band that sits below price in uptrends and above in downtrends, flipping sides when price breaks through — trend direction with a volatility-adaptive buffer.
Formula
Bands = (High + Low) ÷ 2 ± Multiplier × ATR
How to Interpret
Price above the band = uptrend regime, below = downtrend; flips are the trade signals. Cleaner and less twitchy than PSAR because the ATR buffer absorbs ordinary noise — volatile assets automatically get more room before a flip.
Typical Ranges
Same range-market weakness as every trend follower — sideways action produces alternating flips. Multiplier and ATR-length choices materially change behavior.
