i have backtested results .. u can check for supertrend afl.
If u trade properly..u will get good results.



Backtested results

It seems that the formula does not reference future quotes.
This is good.

17001 data bars used during this check. Total execution time: 0.0693127 sec.
Approximately 105488 past and 0 future quotes are needed to calculate the formula properly

Happy n safe trading
shruti is it possible to have three supertrends lines on chart
i mean that on 5 minute timeframe , we have
5 minute st
30m st
daily st

so that we can scronize ourself , and take trade only in direction of higher time frame ,

example :
on 5 minute timeframe if daily is positive , 30 minute is positive than we take only buy trades , and cover them on negative st in 5 minute tf
the whole idea is to be in buy mode while higher tf is in buy mode...........

Yes multiple TF coinfirmation is good thing for a trade... need help from seniors

thanks joy da , simple things remains simple ,

if we want to backtest the whole idea (scalping)that
buy on 5 min tf = when daily+ , 30m+ and 5m tf+
sell = 5m tf(negative cross over)

same on sell side
short= when daily (-) , 30m (-) and 5m (-)
cover = 5m tf (positive cross over)

just for testing of idea ............that on positive trend , we only take trade on long side and remains out of market rest of time

also da for better visual , can we draw ribbon's on the low of pane ,
one of daily signals and one for 30m ?

if this can be done , than plz code it .........

Plot(TrendUp,"Trend",colorRed);

Note: Uses Daily, Hourly and Selected time frame for plotting ST

Replace(3 places in code) inHourly with in1Minute*30 to change hourly to 30 minutes

happy ji , thanks a lot for effort
if we want to backtest the idea what we have to add ?
idea is :

buy on 5 min tf = when daily+ , 30m+ and 5m tf+
sell = 5m tf(negative cross over)

same on sell side
short= when daily (-) , 30m (-) and 5m (-)
cover = 5m tf (positive cross over)

also can for visual effect , we can plot arrows on it also
just for testing of idea ............that on positive trend , we only take trade on long side and remains out of market rest of time

for backtesting if we get one step ahead than
buy sell on 2 lots , exit one lot at 20 points and exit second till negative cross .........,

what if , we only take , hourly and ten minutes tf to reconfirm trend ?
what if we add some filter like stoch , adx or macd ?
plz senior's generate some idea's just to make it fine tune ?
we can book profit for 1 lot at 10-20 points after proper backtesting ,

hi

too may system / indicators /conditions in one method just creates more confusion . . .

Choose one time frame, and use only 1 filter to reduce whip-saw trade . . .

for e.g. use 5 min ST for trading and use just one 30 minutes ST to filter your trades trades . . .

Use the code originally posted by shruti it has a ribbon to filter trades or use this with 2 ST lines

Code:
_SECTION_BEGIN("HTF_SuperTrend");
TimeFrameSet(in1Minute*30);
Pd=10;
Factor=4;
Up=(H+L)/2+(Factor*ATR(Pd));
Dn=(H+L)/2-(Factor*ATR(Pd));
iATR=ATR(Pd);
TrendUp=TrendDown=Null;
trend[0]=1;
changeOfTrend=0;
flag=flagh=0;
for (i = 1; i <BarCount-1; i++) {
      TrendUp[i] = Null;
      TrendDown[i] = Null;
      trend[i]=1;
      if (Close[i]>Up[i-1]) {
         trend[i]=1;
         if (trend[i-1] == -1) changeOfTrend = 1;
      }
      else if (Close[i]<Dn[i-1]) {
         trend[i]=-1;
         if (trend[i-1] == 1) changeOfTrend = 1;
      }
      else if (trend[i-1]==1) {
         trend[i]=1;
         changeOfTrend = 0;       
      }
      else if (trend[i-1]==-1) {
         trend[i]=-1;
         changeOfTrend = 0;
      }

I have done the Buy/Sell/Short/Cover, i am sure you can add the code for plotting arrows

,
Hourly and 10min time frames are enough. Daily TF can be seen before Market open.

All other filters are useless. If you use indicators, you loose attention on price action. Believe me! Simple Trendlines are the best and TF should not be less than 5min.

In fact I am looking for AFL to draw Trendline by joining Lows when Trend is up and Highs when Trend is down. Channel is useful only for sideways trend.
When Trend is sideways trade in lower or higher TF but not below 5min.
