Supertrend by JKR
Supertrend by JKR is a trend-following overlay that plots dynamic support/resistance bands around price and flips when the trend changes.
It builds a smoothed baseline using your selected moving average type (SMA, TMA, WMA, VWMA, TEMA, HMA, EMA, or VMA). Around this baseline, it computes a volatility/range offset (classic ATR mode or Dual-Thrust range mode) and creates two trailing bands:
When price closes beyond the active band, the indicator flips trend direction and switches to the opposite band. While the trend remains active, the band “trails” price and updates in a way that avoids stepping backwards, which helps keep the trend structure clean and stable.
Options
Tip: Increase the Multiplier to reduce flips and widen bands; reduce Period to make the trend more responsive.
