A SuperTrend is a trend following indicator similar to moving averages.
It is plotted on price and the current trend can simply be determined by its placement vis-a-vis price. It is a very simple indicator and is constructed with the help of just two parameters- period and multiplier.
When we construct the Supertrend indicator strategy, the default parameters are 10 for Average True Range (ATR) and 3 for its multiplier.
The average true range (ATR) plays a key role in ‘SuperTrend’ as the indicator uses ATR to compute its value and it signals the degree of price volatility.
In order to open a position, you have to identify the trend first and then find the good point to open a transaction. Today I will present a method of doing it which combines two indicators, the Supertrend and the Commodity Channel Index.
The Supertrend indicator is used for trend identification. The CCI oscillator provides signals to enter the trade.
