Trend Identification with Supertrend:
The indicator calculates the Supertrend based on user-defined ATR periods and multipliers. It plots the Supertrend lines and generates buy/sell signals when the price crosses these lines, indicating a potential trend reversal. Filtering Signals with Moving Average:
When the MA filter is enabled, the indicator ensures that buy signals are only considered valid if the candle's open price is above the selected MA, and sell signals only if the open price is below the MA. This additional confirmation aligns trades with the broader market trend, potentially increasing signal reliability. Statistical Analysis:
Upon triggering a buy or sell signal, the indicator records the entry price and tracks the subsequent price movements. It calculates trimmed means to assess average movements while excluding extreme outliers. Success rates are computed by comparing the closing price against the entry price, indicating how often signals result in favorable outcomes. The average number of candles per move provides insight into trend duration and volatility. Visualization and Customization:
All statistical data is presented in a table on the chart, with customizable text colors for enhanced readability. Optional pinbar filtering and visual markers further refine and illustrate trading signals, aiding in decision-making. Benefits to Traders:
Enhanced Signal Reliability:
By combining Supertrend with an MA filter, the indicator ensures that only signals aligning with the broader market trend are considered, potentially reducing false signals. Data-Driven Decision Making:
