SuperTrend Directional Trading with Multi-Bar Confirmation

Summary

The document presents a SuperTrend strategy configured with factor and ATR-period inputs. It plots separate lines for upward and downward directions, then uses the indicator’s direction and recent line movement to decide when to enter or close long and short positions. The strategy allocates a stated 50% of equity per trade and can reverse direction when the opposite condition is met.

The document also describes FMZ’s TradingView Pine v5 compatibility, including indicator, plotting, alert, and strategy functions. This is platform context rather than evidence of trading performance. A daily BTC/USDT backtest period is specified, but no returns, drawdowns, or comparison results are reported. The strategy’s thresholds compare the SuperTrend value with values from two or three bars earlier, so its behavior depends on those rules and the selected inputs. The document does not discuss fees, slippage, or robustness across markets and timeframes.

Key ideas

• The strategy uses SuperTrend direction to distinguish long and short regimes.
• Long and short entries require the SuperTrend line to move relative to its value several bars earlier.
• A change in the indicator condition can close an existing position.
• The listed backtest settings specify daily BTC/USDT data, but no performance results are provided.
• The surrounding platform description concerns Pine compatibility rather than trading evidence.
