Overview

SuperTrend plots long and short stop lines on the price chart and fills the region between the mid-price and the active stop line to show the current trend state. Direction changes trigger buy and sell signals marked with labels and circles. The ATR period and multiplier settings control sensitivity of the stops, while the source input allows selection of open-high-low-close values and wicks option adjusts stop calculation. It draws exclusively on the price chart and provides no exit rules beyond signal direction changes.
