Double Supertrend Entry with ADX Filter and ATR Exits/Entries
Updated
The Double Supertrend Entry with ADX Filter and ATR Exits/Entries indicator is a custom trading strategy designed to help traders identify potential buy and sell signals in trending markets. This indicator combines the strengths of multiple technical analysis tools, enhancing the effectiveness of the overall strategy.
Key features:
Two Supertrend Indicators - The indicator includes two Supertrend indicators with customizable parameters. These trend-following indicators calculate upper and lower trendlines based on the ATR and price. Buy signals are generated when the price crosses above both trendlines, and sell signals are generated when the price crosses below both trendlines.
ADX Filter - The Average Directional Index (ADX) is used to filter out weak trends and only generate buy/sell signals when the market exhibits a strong trend. The ADX measures the strength of the trend, and a customizable threshold level ensures that trades are only entered during strong trends.
ATR-based Exits and Entries - The indicator uses the Average True Range (ATR) to set profit target and stop-loss levels. ATR is a measure of market volatility, and these levels help traders determine when to exit a trade to secure profit or minimize loss.
Performance Statistics Table - A table is displayed on the chart, recording and showing the total number of winning trades, losing trades, percentage of profitable trades, average profit, and average loss. This information helps traders evaluate the performance of the strategy over time.
