Better SuperTrend Indicators

Quoting Botan626
Hello to everybody and Merry Christmas! I hope to find people who still using xSuperTrend indicator. What is xSuperTrend Candles supposed to do? Looks like it does nothing while being attached to the chart.
Look fine to me, have you worked it out yet?

It should work anyway if you installed all the indicators to the correct folder. Metaquotes changed the file structure so the indicator check does not work. Turn off dll imports for the indicator and you will not get that error msg.

This is a nice thread. Was looking for more info on supertrend and this thread gave me more than I expected....thanks to all contributors
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks @Xaphod. Much appreciated. I was looking for this. Recently learnt about this indicator at a seminar. Lot of users out there depend on your work. great stuff.
do you have for mt5 version?
Thanks @Xaphod Your plugin works great I have used xSuperTrend and it generates signal in timely manner,

Also i was wondering if you can help me in tweaking 1 of the parameter that will be great.

So what i want to do, whenever candle touches supertrend line i.e dUpperLevel or dLowerLevel

can we toggle the signal from buy to sell and vice versa(no need to wait for the bar to close that way we can earn little bit more)

Here is the code i think we need to do some minor tweaking

// Set supertrend levels
if (Close[i]>gadSuperTrend[i+1] && Close[i+1]<=gadSuperTrend[i+1]) {
gadSuperTrend[i]=dLowerLevel;
}
else if (Close[i]<gadSuperTrend[i+1] && Close[i+1]>=gadSuperTrend[i+1]) {
gadSuperTrend[i]=dUpperLevel;
}
else if (gadSuperTrend[i+1]<dLowerLevel)
gadSuperTrend[i]=dLowerLevel;
else if (gadSuperTrend[i+1]>dUpperLevel)
gadSuperTrend[i]=dUpperLevel;
else
gadSuperTrend[i]=gadSuperTrend[i+1];

watermarkclose("Tag",gadSuperTrend[i],22,"Ariel",0,80,20);
// Draw SuperTrend lines
gadUpBuf[i]=EMPTY_VALUE;
gadDnBuf[i]=EMPTY_VALUE;
if (Close[i]>gadSuperTrend[i] || (Close[i]==gadSuperTrend[i] && Close[i+1]>gadSuperTrend[i+1]))
gadUpBuf[i]=gadSuperTrend[i];
else if (Close[i]<gadSuperTrend[i] || (Close[i]==gadSuperTrend[i] && Close[i+1]<gadSuperTrend[i+1]))
gadDnBuf[i]=gadSuperTrend[i];

Thanks in advance

Dear Xaphod, thank you for the indicators in this thread which I use daily on the M15. I have tried to load the xSupertrend Alert, however, it slows MT4 down to a virtual stop after it's loaded on 3 -4 charts. I'm not sure why this indicator is as consumptive as it is but I use a Developer who generally prefers putting indicators into EA's which may cure the problem (if it isn't something that I'm doing). Has anyone tried to create a full EA for this system? Is anyone else having this problem? Thanks for any help

This is a repair to the indicator xSuperTrend on the first post that as of - 26-Aug-2019 - was not working.

Repairs - code updated to new code - #property strict - OnCalculate - bugs cleared - out of range fault cleared.

The default setting was 10-1.7 and the below chart illustrates this setting on GU London Breakout

GU - M5: All times London Summer Time - First vertical pink line = 06:00 & second = 08:00.

The indicator setting on the below GU chart is 10-3.0 and appears to be the more popular default value.

Any preferred default settings can easily be hard coded -

Search internet - video - "How to edit MQL4 code" and edit the below code - the value 10 normally remains the same - the 3.0 is normally change to preferred value - any number of hard coded permutations can be saved (and named accordingly) for ease and speed of use.

Tip: All edited code will only become effective if compiled with 0 errors (can get away with warnings but not errors). If after a 0 error compile the code has not become effective while the indicator is on the chart - remove indicator from chart - re-compile with the green (debug) button second to the right of the compile button - a debug test chart should open and the indicator should appear on the chart - click the red stop button - the debug chart will disappear - re-load the indicator on chart for testing, review & use.
Inserted Code
input int    SuperTrendPeriod=10;      // SuperTrend ATR Period
input double SuperTrendMultiplier=3.0; // SuperTrend Multiplier

Hi Mr Phylo,

Could you add Multi-Timeframe to this indicator?

HI, can anyone identify this indicator? It seems to be a supertrend of some sort but I have not been able to find or identify it. It can be used on mt4 platform. Apparently it is a very powerful tool.
