Supertrend
What SteadyEdge calculates
This page documents the exact runtime calculation for the listed filter IDs. Formula symbols use O , H , L , C , and V for the current candle open, high, low, close, and volume; p is the configured lookback.
- Registry filter IDs: supertrend
Exact formula
HL2 = (H+L)/2
basicUpper = HL2 + mult*ATR_RMA(period)
basicLower = HL2 - mult*ATR_RMA(period)
final bands carry the previous band unless the previous close breaks it
value is the active final lower band in an uptrend or upper band otherwise
Parameters, defaults, and bounds
- period : default 10 ; 1–100
- mult : default 3 ; 0.01–20
How the rule passes
above requires a strict > comparison.
below requires a strict < comparison.
Data, timing, and warm-up
Candle filters use the rule timeframe and the latest candle at or before the evaluation time. A non-finite calculated value does not pass.
Every rule in the same filter set must pass. Test Filters and a backtest validate the complete set.
