📋 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
