Overview
STPP20 + ADX enters long positions when the close crosses above the SuperTrend trailing band while remaining above the moving average and ADX exceeds 25. Positions close when the price crosses below the trailing SuperTrend line. The indicator overlays directly on the price chart. It lacks a fixed stop loss or take profit order, relying entirely on trend reversal signals for exits.
- Pivot Point SuperTrend trailing band calculation
- ADX trend strength threshold filter
- 21-period moving average trend filter
- Long-only entry and reversal exit logic
