What is the Supertrend Indicator



📊 How is the Supertrend Indicator Calculated?


The Supertrend indicator is based on two key inputs:

  • ATR (Average True Range): Measures market volatility

  • Multiplier: Determines sensitivity (default is 3)

🔹 Supertrend Calculation:

Upper Band = (High + Low) / 2 + (ATR * Multiplier)
Lower Band = (High + Low) / 2 - (ATR * Multiplier)

👉 When the price is above the Supertrend line, it indicates an uptrend (BUY). 👉 When the price is below the Supertrend line, it indicates a downtrend (SELL).
