This is a Supertrend indicator for ThinkorSwim created by Mobius.

Supertrend Indicator: shows trend direction and gives buy or sell signals according to that. It is based on a combination of the average price rate in the current period along with a volatility indicator. The ATR indicator is most commonly used as volatility indicator. The values are calculated as follows:

Up = (HIGH + LOW) / 2 + Multiplier * ATR
Down = (HIGH + LOW) / 2 – Multiplier * ATR
When the change of trend occurs, the indicator flips

What Is The Supertrend Indicator
Screenshot (175).png
1. How can you tell if you are in a trending market and avoid false signals?​
Use three time frames to decipher the long, medium, and short-term trends.​
2. Which timeframes you ask? Here is a summary of how to determine what timeframes to use:​
Screenshot (177).png
The indicator does well with the default multiplier setting. There is no best setting for any trading indicator.​
  • Smaller settings can make the indicator more reactive to the price which means, more signals
  • Higher settings will remove the noise from the market at the risk of less trading signals
Read through this thread to see the various ways members have adjusted this setting to fit their strategy.​


How Does It Work?

Best Time Frame for SuperTrend is:
5Min – 15Min – 30Min – 1Hr ( 5- 10 days Charts )
Aggregations under 5min have more false signals due to noise.
Sell signals on aggregations 4hr and higher can result in giving back profit.

What Indicators Pair Best With The SuperTrend Indicator
All trending strategies work best when combined with:
  • Trend/Momentum study: RSI or MACD, etc
  • Support & Resistance (can be hand-drawn or a study)
  • Volume

Its working great.. U always rocking...

Code:
# SuperTrend Multiple Time Frames
# Mobius
# V03.01.2016

# I pulled this study down from MyTrade for a reason. It wasn't
# plotting correctly with the multiple aggregations. And like
# all studies with secondary aggregations it tends to replot the
# higher ones. I decided to think about it some more and this is
# where I am with the ST MTF study now.
#
# It's still squirrely and blinks a lot. Using declare Once_Per_Bar
# does some bad things to it. I was considering making intra
# aggregation higher time frames. A pain to do but it gives more
# control over how it plots.
#
# Row 6 is supposed to be the output for all aggregations and the
# signal line. After hours when data isn't moving it's steady and
# has good signals. But since it's after hours, totally useless
# for any intraday trading.

I use the scanner each trading day. The code is written to show new signals

#plot SuperTrendUP = if ST crosses below close then 1 else 0;

plot SuperTrendDN = if ST crosses above close then 1 else 0;

If you want to show active signals use the following;

plot SuperTrendUP = if ST < close then 1 else 0;

plot SuperTrendDN = if ST >close then 1 else 0;

Also - in an attempt to give back. I've ported the supertrend script so that it works on mobile. It involves two scripts - one for the supertrend plot, and one for the signal. As far as I know, you cannot paint the candles like you can on your pc version of TOS. Anyway, screenshots from PC and mobile (to compare) and scripts below for your use.

Sorry - I left my bollinger bands on in that shot.

I tried this one but i only want the color candles, not the grey bubbles & plot line. So i unticked both plot & bubbles in settings but only the plot line hides but the bubbles are still present. How do i get rid of them?

@corello Put this together when I was on the go. See if it works. Add it to the bottom of the indicator.

Code:
def bullish = close crosses below ST;
def bearish = close crosses above ST;

# Alerts
Alert(bullish, " ", Alert.Bar, Sound.Chimes);
Alert(bearish, " ", Alert.Bar, Sound.Bell);
 
@BenTen Are you able to backtest this strategy with ThinkorSwim? Would like to see how it would work with ES future for example over a certain time period.

Unsure of how to make a backtest of this strategy, so any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.
 
@corello Here is the code for that. It comes in 2 parts.

Step 1: Create a new Strategy (not a Study) > Copy and Paste the original code in the first page into it.

Step 2: Add the following code to the end of the script:

Code:
# The following code is for backtesting
def SuperTrendUP = if ST crosses below close then 1 else 0;
def SuperTrendDN = if ST crosses above close then 1 else 0;

Step 3a: If you want to test out bullish strategy then add this code after the code from Step 2:

Code:
# Bullish Orders
AddOrder(OrderType.BUY_TO_OPEN, condition = SuperTrendUp, price = close,100, tickcolor = Color.GREEN, arrowcolor = Color.GREEN, name = "BUY");
AddOrder(OrderType.SELL_TO_CLOSE, condition = SuperTrendDN, price = open,100, tickcolor = Color.RED, arrowcolor = Color.RED, name = "SELL");

Step 3b: If you want to test out bearish strategy then add this code after the code from Step 2:

Code:
# Bearish Orders
AddOrder(OrderType.SELL_TO_OPEN, condition = SuperTrendDN, price = open,100, tickcolor = Color.RED, arrowcolor = Color.RED, name = "SELL");
AddOrder(OrderType.BUY_TO_CLOSE, condition = SuperTrendUp, price = close,100, tickcolor = Color.GREEN, arrowcolor = Color.GREEN, name = "BUY");

Do not place both codes from 3a and 3b into the same script.
 
@San If you want to remove the bubble, delete the following lines from the code:

Rich (BB code):
AddChartBubble(close crosses below ST, low[1], low[1], color.Dark_Gray);
AddChartBubble(close crosses above ST, high[1], high[1], color.Dark_Gray, no);
Hello, BenTen, can you please modify the code for Bubble to move it slightly lower or higher (depending on situation), otherwise its just sits on candle and is hard to read on some charts.
Thanks in advance
 
@Talochka @BenTen I have adjusted the bubbles, fixed the coloring and added a buy/sell description on the bubble
Note that the bubbles can be further moved to your preference by changing the value of the variable "n"
You can do this either in the code directly or via the input selector in the user interface
Hope this would be aesthetically better visually.

EDIT: I have based my modifications based on @BenTen post #1 in this thread

Code:
# SuperTrend

def UP = HL2 + (AtrMult * ATR);
def DN = HL2 + (-AtrMult * ATR);
def ST = if close < ST[1] then UP else DN;
plot SuperTrend = ST;
SuperTrend.AssignValueColor(if close < ST then Color.RED else Color.GREEN);
AssignPriceColor(if PaintBars and close < ST
                 then Color.RED
                 else if PaintBars and close > ST
                      then Color.GREEN
                      else Color.CURRENT);

AddChartBubble(close[n] crosses below ST[n], low[n+1] + TickSize() * n, "Sell @ " + low[n1], color.Cyan, yes);
AddChartBubble(close[n] crosses above ST[n], high[n+1] - TickSize() * n, "Buy @ " + high[n1], color.Yellow, no);

Hello, this indicator is created by morbius; the super trend indicator. I have modified it so that it creates chimes and dots (which can be changed to anything you prefer such as wedges, arrows, or nothing).

The best settings are 0.7 atr multiplier and thats it.

I have been granted 100% permission by morbius himself, the original creator of super trend, to re-release this code for free. This is not my algo.

here is the code.

Hi everyone, is there a version of supertrend that has the auto buy and sell with the profit/loss floating box , so you can backtest the strategy and see the outcome?

You can try this template I use for my studies, pieced it together and modified it from here and there, most from linus' SuperCombo. Basically, just plug in what triggers your buy and sell signals (and stops if you use them) and it will put a bar on top with your overall p/l for the given timeframe. This isn't a strategy so a report isn't given, but it does give a quick p/l so you can change settings and instantly see the effect. Note, this won't account for any fees or commissions, so if doing futures, have to take off the fees per order.
