SuperTrend - Custom Screener and Dynamic AlertsTrading View today published a desktop Bad Internet connection indicator ?! which set me thinking…
Despite recently introduced Dynamic Alerts many scripts do not leverage the information available for active traders and traders on the GO!
So decided to share this script totally ALERT focused on one of the most popular DAY trading indicators.
Of course no more BAD internet problem as long your TV APP is configured , you will have enough data for a mental picture of the chart..
The Alerts give you the BAR Close , %percent gain or loss over previous day CLOSE ++ Previous Day High and Low to effectively plan your trade without a chart!(just in case)
2 additions in the way Alerts are delivered over the last script :
1. You get SUMMARY alerts or concatenated alerts by default , however if you uncomment or activate code lines 48 and 55 you will get individual Stock alerts Too!
2. Summary Alerts will come only if there is some Buy or Sell signal NO more empty Alerts!
Few useful EXTRAS in the code :
1. Flexible code can convert any indicator to screener or Alert function.
2. You will NOT get Mutable Variable error while converting any indicator to screener as long as the function is in "GLOBAL" scope..
3. Many Custom Screeners are available but few give OHLC data in output so easily…and very difficult for traders to MODIFY hundreds of lines of code..
4. For UP or DOWN on SCREEN Stock monitoring copy /paste functions in line 41 and 42 in lieu of CROSS functions in 44 and 51 respectively..
5. You can also uncomment/activate lines 66 and 67 for labels in monitoring.
6. The default mode of the scripts is set to Alerts!
Max Stocks only 20!
Finally idea is to help traders to use the great features that TV works so hard to create and constantly improvise.
Enjoy Profitable Trading on the Fly !!
SuperTrend Strategy This is almost the same strategy that Alex Orekhov (everget) sells to unnoticed newbies... The only thing he added was a tool that analyses the better performance of the indicator, that is the difference from his script, and i dont have it here, what i have is what is freely distributed in many communities... But as i follow him for more than 1 year i saw that theese configs. In more than 95% of the time range betweern 7.2-6.8 with the most common settings the 7-7
So i made a description of each part of the code that i WRITED and is free and i am just using the configs that are public in Alex Orekhov (everget) profile. If it is public the configs he use in his charts and he is not the owner of the code right? Also the code is very easy to find in google in the MQL5 community or in a lot of videos in youtube.
He charges $10 for a 4 day trial (LOL) and $100 for this shit.
Here is a strategy that has a correlation with 95% of the time of the Profitable Strategy that he sells.

Multi-Fibonacci Trend Average[FibonacciFlux]Multi-Fibonacci Trend Average (MFTA): An Institutional-Grade Trend Confluence Indicator for Discerning Market Participants
My original indicator/Strategy:
Engineered for the sophisticated demands of institutional and advanced traders, the Multi-Fibonacci Trend Average (MFTA) indicator represents a paradigm shift in technical analysis. This meticulously crafted tool is designed to furnish high-definition trend signals within the complexities of modern financial markets. Anchored in the rigorous principles of Fibonacci ratios and augmented by advanced averaging methodologies, MFTA delivers a granular perspective on trend dynamics. Its integration of Multi-Timeframe (MTF) filters provides unparalleled signal robustness, empowering strategic decision-making with a heightened degree of confidence.
MFTA indicator on BTCUSDT 15min chart with 1min RSI and MACD filters enabled. Note the refined signal generation with reduced noise.
MFTA indicator on BTCUSDT 15min chart without MTF filters. While capturing more potential trading opportunities, it also generates a higher frequency of signals, including potential false positives.
Core Innovation: Proprietary Fibonacci-Enhanced Supertrend Averaging Engine
The MFTA indicator’s core innovation lies in its proprietary implementation of Supertrend analysis, strategically fortified by Fibonacci ratios to construct a truly dynamic volatility envelope. Departing from conventional Supertrend methodologies, MFTA autonomously computes not one, but three distinct Supertrend lines. Each of these lines is uniquely parameterized by a specific Fibonacci factor: 0.618 (Weak), 1.618 (Medium/Golden Ratio), and 2.618 (Strong/Extended Fibonacci).
// Fibonacci-based factors for multiple Supertrend calculations
factor1 = input.float(0.618, 'Factor 1 (Weak/Fibonacci)', minval=0.01, step=0.01, tooltip='Factor 1 (Weak/Fibonacci)', group="Fibonacci Supertrend")
factor2 = input.float(1.618, 'Factor 2 (Medium/Golden Ratio)', minval=0.01, step=0.01, tooltip='Factor 2 (Medium/Golden Ratio)', group="Fibonacci Supertrend")
factor3 = input.float(2.618, 'Factor 3 (Strong/Extended Fib)', minval=0.01, step=0.01, tooltip='Factor 3 (Strong/Extended Fib)', group="Fibonacci Supertrend")
This multi-faceted architecture adeptly captures a spectrum of market volatility sensitivities, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of prevailing conditions. Subsequently, the indicator algorithmically synthesizes these disparate Supertrend lines through arithmetic averaging. To achieve optimal signal fidelity and mitigate inherent market noise, this composite average is further refined utilizing an Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
// Calculate average of the three supertends and a smoothed version
superlength = input.int(21, 'Smoothing Length', tooltip='Smoothing Length for Average Supertrend', group="Fibonacci Supertrend")
average_trend = (supertrend1 + supertrend2 + supertrend3) / 3
smoothed_trend = ta.ema(average_trend, superlength)
The resultant ‘Smoothed Trend’ line emerges as a remarkably responsive yet stable trend demarcation, offering demonstrably superior clarity and precision compared to singular Supertrend implementations, particularly within the turbulent dynamics of high-volatility markets.
Elevated Signal Confluence: Integrated Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Validation Suite
MFTA transcends the limitations of conventional trend indicators by incorporating an advanced suite of three independent MTF filters: RSI, MACD, and Volume. These filters function as sophisticated validation protocols, rigorously ensuring that only signals exhibiting a confluence of high-probability factors are brought to the forefront.
1. Granular Lower Timeframe RSI Momentum Filter
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) filter, computed from a user-defined lower timeframe, furnishes critical momentum-based signal validation. By meticulously monitoring RSI dynamics on an accelerated timeframe, traders gain the capacity to evaluate underlying momentum strength with precision, prior to committing to signal execution on the primary chart timeframe.
// --- Lower Timeframe RSI Filter ---
ltf_rsi_filter_enable = input.bool(false, title="Enable RSI Filter", group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Use RSI from lower timeframe as a filter")
ltf_rsi_timeframe = input.timeframe("1", title="RSI Timeframe", group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Timeframe for RSI calculation")
ltf_rsi_length = input.int(14, title="RSI Length", minval=1, group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Length for RSI calculation")
ltf_rsi_threshold = input.int(30, title="RSI Threshold", minval=0, maxval=100, group="MTF Filters", tooltip="RSI value threshold for filtering signals")
2. Convergent Lower Timeframe MACD Trend-Momentum Filter
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) filter, also calculated on a lower timeframe basis, introduces a critical layer of trend-momentum convergence confirmation. The bullish signal configuration rigorously mandates that the MACD line be definitively positioned above the Signal line on the designated lower timeframe. This stringent condition ensures a robust indication of converging momentum that aligns synergistically with the prevailing trend identified on the primary timeframe.
// --- Lower Timeframe MACD Filter ---
ltf_macd_filter_enable = input.bool(false, title="Enable MACD Filter", group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Use MACD from lower timeframe as a filter")
ltf_macd_timeframe = input.timeframe("1", title="MACD Timeframe", group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Timeframe for MACD calculation")
ltf_macd_fast_length = input.int(12, title="MACD Fast Length", minval=1, group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Fast EMA length for MACD")
ltf_macd_slow_length = input.int(26, title="MACD Slow Length", minval=1, group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Slow EMA length for MACD")
ltf_macd_signal_length = input.int(9, title="MACD Signal Length", minval=1, group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Signal SMA length for MACD")
3. Definitive Volume Confirmation Filter
The Volume Filter functions as an indispensable arbiter of trade conviction. By establishing a dynamic volume threshold, defined as a percentage relative to the average volume over a user-specified lookback period, traders can effectively ensure that all generated signals are rigorously validated by demonstrably increased trading activity. This pivotal validation step signifies robust market participation, substantially diminishing the potential for spurious or false breakout signals.
// --- Volume Filter ---
volume_filter_enable = input.bool(false, title="Enable Volume Filter", group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Use volume level as a filter")
volume_threshold_percent = input.int(title="Volume Threshold (%)", defval=150, minval=100, group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Minimum volume percentage compared to average volume to allow signal (100% = average)")
These meticulously engineered filters operate in synergistic confluence, requiring all enabled filters to definitively satisfy their pre-defined conditions before a Buy or Sell signal is generated. This stringent multi-layered validation process drastically minimizes the incidence of false positive signals, thereby significantly enhancing entry precision and overall signal reliability.
Intuitive Visual Architecture & Actionable Intelligence
MFTA provides a demonstrably intuitive and visually rich charting environment, meticulously delineating trend direction and momentum through precisely color-coded plots:
Average Supertrend: Thin line, green/red for uptrend/downtrend, immediate directional bias.
Smoothed Supertrend: Bold line, teal/purple for uptrend/downtrend, cleaner, institutionally robust trend.
Dynamic Trend Fill: Green/red fill between Supertrends quantifies trend strength and momentum.
Adaptive Background Coloring: Light green/red background mirrors Smoothed Supertrend direction, holistic trend perspective.
Precision Buy/Sell Signals: ‘BUY’/‘SELL’ labels appear on chart when trend touch and MTF filter confluence are satisfied, facilitating high-conviction trade action.
MFTA indicator applied to BTCUSDT 4-hour chart, showcasing its effectiveness on higher timeframes. The Smoothed Length parameter is increased to 200 for enhanced smoothness on this timeframe, coupled with 1min RSI and Volume filters for signal refinement. This illustrates the indicator's adaptability across different timeframes and market conditions.
Strategic Applications for Institutional Mandates
MFTA’s sophisticated design provides distinct advantages for advanced trading operations and institutional investment mandates. Key strategic applications include:
High-Probability Trend Identification: Fibonacci-averaged Supertrend with MTF filters robustly identifies high-probability trend continuations and reversals, enhancing alpha generation.
Precision Entry/Exit Signals: Volume and momentum-filtered signals enable institutional-grade precision for optimized risk-adjusted returns.
Algorithmic Trading Integration: Clear signal logic facilitates seamless integration into automated trading systems for scalable strategy deployment.
Multi-Asset/Timeframe Versatility: Adaptable parameters ensure applicability across diverse asset classes and timeframes, catering to varied trading mandates.
Enhanced Risk Management: Superior signal fidelity from MTF filters inherently reduces false signals, supporting robust risk management protocols.
Granular Customization and Parameterized Control
MFTA offers unparalleled customization, empowering users to fine-tune parameters for precise alignment with specific trading styles and market conditions. Key adjustable parameters include:
Fibonacci Factors: Adjust Supertrend sensitivity to volatility regimes.
ATR Length: Control volatility responsiveness in Supertrend calculations.
Smoothing Length: Refine Smoothed Trend line responsiveness and noise reduction.
MTF Filter Parameters: Independently configure timeframes, lookback periods, and thresholds for RSI, MACD, and Volume filters for optimal signal filtering.
Disclaimer
MFTA is meticulously engineered for high-quality trend signals; however, no indicator guarantees profit. Market conditions are unpredictable, and trading involves substantial risk. Rigorous backtesting and forward testing across diverse datasets, alongside a comprehensive understanding of the indicator's logic, are essential before live deployment. Past performance is not indicative of future results. MFTA is for informational and analytical purposes only and is not financial or investment advice.
Whale Supertrend (V1.2)The script "Whale Supertrend (V1.2)" is an advanced trend indicator that uses multiple Supertrends with different factors to determine entry and exit points in the market. The Supertrend is a popular indicator that combines price and volatility to help identify trend direction. The script displays buy and sell signals based on the confluence of Supertrends.
How the script works
Configuring Supertrends
The script configures six Supertrends with different factors (factor, factor1, factor2, factor3, factor4, factor5) while using the same ATR period (atrPeriod = 10).
Supertrend 1: factor = 3
Supertrend 2: factor1 = 4
Supertrend 3: factor2 = 6
Supertrend 4: factor3 = 9
Supertrend 5: factor4 = 13
Supertrend 6: factor5 = 18
For each Supertrend, the bullish (blue) and bearish (purple) trend conditions are plotted on the chart.
Signal Calculation
The script calculates the number of Supertrends in bullish and bearish trend:
bullishCount: Number of Supertrends indicating a bullish trend.
bearishCount: Number of Supertrends indicating a bearish trend.
Signal Detection
The script triggers a buy or sell signal when at least three of the six Supertrends indicate the same trend:
Buy Signal (buySignal): Triggers when bullishCount is greater than or equal to 3.
Sell Signal (sellSignal): Triggers when bearishCount is greater than or equal to 3.
To avoid repetition, signals are only displayed when the state changes:
triggerBuy: Buy signal only when buySignal becomes true for the first time.
triggerSell: Sell signal only when sellSignal becomes true for the first time.
Candle Coloring:
Candles now change color based on signals:
Green: When a Buy Signal is active.
Red: When a Sell Signal is active.
This provides a clearer visualization of market trends directly on the chart.
Dynamic Settings for Supertrends:
You can customize the ATR Period and Factor for each of the 6 Supertrends via the settings panel.
Each Supertrend has independent parameters:
ATR Period: Controls the ATR calculation period.
Factor: Adjusts the Supertrend sensitivity.
Benefits:
Enhanced Readability: Candle colors help identify buy and sell zones at a glance.
Greater Customization: Tailor Supertrend settings to your trading strategy or market conditions.
Double Supertrend HTF FilterDouble Supertrend HTF Filter: A Comprehensive Market Direction Tool
The Double Supertrend HTF Filter is an innovative tool designed for traders who seek a more holistic view of market trends. At its core, the indicator combines two Supertrends from different higher timeframes, providing a layered perspective on the market's direction. Instead of juggling between multiple timeframes or charts, traders get a consolidated view with this indicator. One of its standout features is the horizontal line at the bottom of the chart, which visually represents the alignment of the two Supertrends – a simple yet powerful way to gauge the combined sentiment of the two higher timeframes on your chart.
The Supertrend Indicator: Origins and Rationale
The Supertrend indicator, a popular tool among traders, was developed by Olivier Seban. At its essence, the Supertrend is a trend-following indicator, designed to identify and visualize the current market trend. It operates using average true range (ATR) values and price data, effectively smoothing out market noise to present clearer trend directions. When prices move with a consistent momentum upwards or downwards, the Supertrend remains below or above the price respectively, signaling the prevailing trend's direction. The rationale behind the Supertrend is its ability to adapt to price volatility. By factoring in the average true range, it dynamically adjusts itself, ensuring that it's not just based on price but also the inherent volatility of the market. This adaptability makes it a valuable tool for traders, offering insights into potential trend reversals and potential entry or exit points.
Filter Usage
The main idea behind the Double Supertrend HTF is to use the indicator as a filter in addition to a signal indicator to your liking. To illustrate, consider incorporating it with a MACD Oscillator, such as the one detailed in this article: When the solid line at the bottom of the chart turns green, it signals that both supertrends are up and thus allows for long positions, indicating a bullish sentiment across both the chosen higher timeframes. Conversely, a red line permits short positions, hinting at a bearish trend. Should the line turn yellow, it's a sign of caution. The market is indecisive, and it might be prudent to refrain from taking any trades until a clearer direction emerges.
Features of the Indicator
Understanding that traders have different preferences, the Double Supertrend HTF Filter comes with customizable features. With the easy user interface you can change the timeframe, ATR and factor to your preferred trading strategy. The default settings are set for the 30 minutes and 4 hour timeframe, which is my personal preference for scalping trades on lower timeframes (eg. 1min, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min). While the dual Supertrend lines offer valuable insights, a chart can become cluttered when combined with other indicators. Therefore, traders have the option to toggle on or off the display of the Supertrends. This ensures that you have the flexibility to maintain a clean chart view while still benefiting from the insights the tool provides at the bottom of the chart.
A Note on Usage
It's essential to highlight that the Double Supertrend HTF Filter is for educational purposes. While it offers a unique perspective on market trends and can be a valuable addition to a trader's toolkit, it's merely an example of how one can use the Supertrend as a filter. Always conduct thorough research and consider your trading strategy before making any decisions.

Tri-State SupertrendTri-State Supertrend: Buy, Sell, Range
( Credits: Based on "Pivot Point Supertrend" by LonesomeTheBlue.)
Tri-State Supertrend incorporates a range filter into a supertrend algorithm.
So in addition to the Buy and Sell states, we now also have a Range state.
This avoids the typical "whipsaw" problem: During a range, a standard supertrend algorithm will fire Buy and Sell signals in rapid succession. These signals are all false signals as they lead to losing positions when acted on.
In this case, a tri-state supertrend will go into Range mode and stay in this mode until price exits the range and a new trend begins.
I used Pivot Point Supertrend by LonesomeTheBlue as a starting point for this script because I believe LonesomeTheBlue's version is superior to the classic Supertrend algorithm.
This indicator has two additional parameters over Pivot Point Supertrend:
A flag to turn the range filter on or off
A range size threshold in percent
With that last parameter, you can define what a range is. The best value will depend on the asset you are trading.
Also, there are two new display options.
"Show (non-) trendline for ranges" - determines whether to draw the "trendline" inside of a range. Seeing as there is no trend in a range, this is usually just visual noise.
"Show suppressed signals" - allows you to see the Buy/Sell signals that were skipped by the range filter.
How to use Tri-State Supertrend in a strategy
You can use the Buy and Sell signals to enter positions as you would with a normal supertrend. Adding stop loss, trailing stop etc. is of course encouraged and very helpful. But what to do when the Range signal appears?
I currently run a strategy on LDO based on Tri-State Supertrend which appears to be profitable. (It will quite likely be open sourced at some point, but it is not released yet.)
In that strategy, I experimented with different actions being taken when the Range state is entered:
Continue: Just keep last position open during the range
Close: Close the last position when entering range
Reversal: During the range, execute the OPPOSITE of each signal (sell on "buy", buy on "sell")
In the backtest, it transpired that "Continue" was the most profitable option for this strategy.
How ranges are detected
The mechanism is pretty simple: During each Buy or Sell trend, we record price movement, specifically, the furthest move in the trend direction that was encountered (expressed as a percentage).
When a new signal is issued, the algorithm checks whether this value (for the last trend) is below the range size set by the user. If yes, we enter Range mode.
The same logic is used to exit Range mode. This check is performed on every bar in a range, so we can enter a buy or sell as early as possible.
I found that this simple logic works astonishingly well in practice.
Pros/cons of the range filter
A range filter is an incredibly useful addition to a supertrend and will most likely boost your profits.
You will see at most one false signal at the beginning of each range (because it takes a bit of time to detect the range); after that, no more false signals will appear over the range's entire duration. So this is a huge advantage.
There is essentially only one small price you have to pay:
When a range ends, the first Buy/Sell signal you get will be delayed over the regular supertrend's signal. This is, again, because the algorithm needs some time to detect that the range has ended. If you select a range size of, say, 1%, you will essentially lose 1% of profit in each range because of this delay.
In practice, it is very likely that the benefits of a range filter outweigh its cost. Ranges can last quite some time, equating to many false signals that the range filter will completely eliminate (all except for the first one, as explained above).
You have to do your own tests though :)
