Overview

SuperThree calculates upper and lower bands based on Average True Range (ATR) and a multiplier factor. Visual fills on the price chart display market regimes using green for uptrends, red for downtrends, and blue for sideways consolidation, while blue arrows highlight counter-trend momentum shifts. Inputs let users adjust ATR period, multiplier factor, trend confirmation strictness, and counter-trend sensitivity.
