SuperTrend Indicator Parameters: Period, Shift, and Trend Filter

Summary

This brief description identifies Olivier Seban’s SuperTrend indicator and names its three inputs: a calculation period, a shift that offsets the indicator line from price in points, and an optional trend filter. It gives a basic map of the indicator’s configurable settings, which can help a user understand what to look for when adding it to a chart or adapting it for analysis.

The document does not explain the SuperTrend calculation, define how the filter determines trend, or provide recommended parameter values. It includes no chart examples, trading rules, performance results, or discussion of market and timeframe sensitivity. The description is therefore useful as a parameter overview, but not as evidence that the indicator predicts price movements or as a complete guide to using it in a strategy.

Key ideas

• The indicator exposes a period setting for its calculation.
• A shift setting offsets the indicator line from price by a point amount.
• A trend filter can be enabled as an additional input.
• The description gives no formula, trading rules, or performance evidence.
