Definition
ATR trailing band that ratchets with the trend and flips sides on a close through it. The direction line reads +1 in an uptrend, −1 in a downtrend.
Parameters
Asset, Lookback period (10), Multiplier (3), Line (value | direction)
Output range: Price scale (value); +1 / −1 (direction)
Example condition
`Supertrend(AAPL, 10, 3, direction) > 0` (Uptrend regime)Usage notes
Use direction as a regime filter for entries, not the entry itself — it flips late by construction.
Use in a strategy
Add this indicator to a strategy condition, choose its supported parameters and compare the output with the threshold required by your rule. Preserve the same interval and lookback when comparing backtests.
After saving the condition, inspect its asset, interval, lookback and comparison operator against the parameters above. If no trades occur, check whether the condition ever became true and whether the requested input data exists for that period. A missing input is not a zero-valued signal. An indicator produces an input to a rule. It does not establish future returns, and data availability can differ across assets and periods.
