The supertrend indicator is a technical analysis tool that can help make decisions about when to enter and exit a trade.

Everything that you want to know about Supertrends:
https://usethinkscript.com/threads/supertrend-indicator-by-mobius-for-thinkorswim.7/#post-77876

This supertrend adds channels.
Traders use bands and channels in trading to visually identify potential support and resistance levels, gauge market volatility, and assess the direction of a trend, helping them make informed decisions about when to buy or sell an asset by signaling potential entry and exit points within a price range, particularly when the price touches the upper or lower boundaries of the channel or band.

Ok thank you I have it running to see how it works out.
 
I can't find the script for the Supertrend script for TOS.
Your message says "ThinkOrSwim code can be found in the next post."
Where is the next post?
