SuperTrend Indicator: A Simplified Approach to Trend Trading
 
Description: The SuperTrend Indicator is built upon two key indicators: ATR (Average True Range) and CCI (Commodity Channel Index). The CCI (with a standard parameter of 50) determines the trend direction, while the ATR is used to set the indicator levels. When the CCI is above 0, the SuperTrend either rises or moves horizontally, depending on the ATR. Conversely, if the CCI is negative, the SuperTrend falls, also based on the ATR.Opening trades in the direction of the trend maximizes profit potential and is particularly suitable for beginners who may not have experience with complex trading techniques such as swing trading or countertrend positions.
 
Formula
UpperLevel=(High[i]+Low[i])/2+Multiplier*Atr(Period)
LowerLevel=(High[i]+Low[i])/2-Multiplier*Atr(Period)
TrendCCI_Period = 50
