Combining Gann HiLo Activator and SuperTrend for Trend-State Signals

Summary

This indicator combines the Gann HiLo Activator and SuperTrend to classify the current trend state. It assigns an uptrend label when both component indicators point upward, a downtrend label when both point downward, and a neutral label when their directions disagree. The two calculations are performed internally, so users do not need to add separate instances of either indicator to the chart.

The inputs allow adjustment of the Gann HiLo period, the SuperTrend period, the SuperTrend line’s shift relative to price, and whether to apply SuperTrend’s trend filter. The document explains the labeling logic and configurable parameters, but it does not define entry, exit, or position-sizing rules. It also gives no performance results, market examples, or discussion of lag and false signals. The labels therefore describe indicator agreement rather than a validated standalone trading strategy.

Key ideas

• The indicator compares Gann HiLo Activator and SuperTrend trend directions.
• Agreement on an uptrend produces an upward label, while agreement on a downtrend produces a downward label.
• Disagreement between the indicators produces a neutral label.
• Users can configure both calculation periods, SuperTrend shift, and use of its trend filter.
• The description provides no tested trading rules or performance evidence.
