📋 Overview

SuperTrend is a powerful trend-following indicator that creates dynamic support and resistance lines based on Average True Range (ATR) calculations. RelicusRoad Pro’s implementation provides clear visual trend identification with color-coded lines that automatically adapt to market volatility.

Unlike static trend lines or moving averages, SuperTrend uses volatility-adjusted positioning to maintain optimal distance from price action. The system shows green lines for uptrends and gold lines for downtrends, with automatic trend change detection that eliminates guesswork from trend identification and provides objective entry/exit signals.

Key Features

🎯
Volatility-Adaptive Positioning

Uses ATR calculations to automatically adjust line distance based on current market conditions

Color-Coded Trend Signals

Green lines for uptrends, gold lines for downtrends with clear visual trend change confirmation

🔧
Dynamic Support/Resistance

Lines act as moving support (uptrend) or resistance (downtrend) that trails with price movement

📊
Multi-Timeframe Compatibility

Works effectively across all timeframes from M5 scalping to D1 position trading

⚙️ How It Works

🔬 The Technology Behind Road Levels

📊
ATR Foundation System

Volatility measurement core

  • ATR Period: Default 10 bars for balanced responsiveness
  • Multiplier: Default 3.0 for optimal noise filtering
  • Median Price: Uses (High + Low) / 2 for calculation base
Trend Detection Logic

Automated trend identification

  • Price Above Line: Uptrend confirmed (green line below price)
  • Price Below Line: Downtrend confirmed (gold line above price)
  • Line Switch: Occurs when price closes beyond opposite trend line
⚙️
Dynamic Adjustment

Real-time volatility adaptation

  • Higher Volatility: Wider line distance from price
  • Lower Volatility: Tighter line distance from price
  • Continuous Recalculation: Updates with each new candle

📊 Visual Representation

🟢
Green SuperTrend Line

Uptrend signal - line acts as dynamic support below price

    🟡
    Gold SuperTrend Line

    Downtrend signal - line acts as dynamic resistance above price

      🔄
      Line Transitions

      Color changes from green to gold (sell) or gold to green (buy) for trend reversals

        📏
        ATR Distance Buffer

        Volatility-based distance between line and price prevents false signals

          💡 Best Practices

          Wait for clear color change before entering trades - avoid premature entries

          Use SuperTrend line as dynamic trailing stop loss for trend trades

          Combine with volume analysis - strong signals have above-average volume

          Apply multi-timeframe analysis for higher probability setups

          Adjust ATR period based on timeframe: shorter for M5-M15, longer for H4-D1

          Increase multiplier in choppy markets to reduce false signals

          Focus on major pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY) for best performance

          Avoid ranging markets - SuperTrend works best in trending conditions

          Use price action confirmation at SuperTrend line for enhanced reliability

          Trail stops aggressively in strong trends, conservatively in weak trends
