Safe Supertrend Strategy (No Repaint)

260
Overview
The Safe Supertrend is a repaint-free version of the popular Supertrend trend-following indicator.
Most Supertrend indicators appear perfect on historical charts because they flip intrabar and then repaint after the candle closes.
This version fixes that by using close-of-bar confirmation only, making every trend flip 100% stable, safe, and non-repainting.

Why This Supertrend Doesn’t Repaint
Most Supertrend indicators calculate their trend direction using the current bar’s data.
But during a live candle:
  • ATR expands and contracts
  • The upper/lower bands move
  • Price moves above/below the band temporarily
  • A false flip appears → then disappears when the candle closes

That is classic repainting.
This indicator avoids all of that by using:
close[1] > upper[1]
close[1] < lower[1]
This means:
  • Trend direction flips only based on the previous candle,
  • No intrabar calculations,
  • No flickering signals,
  • No “perfect but fake” historical performance.

Every signal you see on the chart is exactly what was available in real-time.

How It Works
  • Calculates ATR (Average True Range) and SMA centerline
  • Builds upper and lower volatility bands
  • Confirms trend flips only after the previous bar closes
  • Plots clear bull and bear reversal signals
  • Works on all markets (crypto, stocks, forex, indices)

No repainting, no recalc, no misleading flips.

Bullish Signal (Trend Up)
A bullish trend begins only when:
  • The previous candle closes above the upper ATR band,
  • And this flip is fully confirmed.

A green triangle marks the start of a new uptrend.

Bearish Signal (Trend Down)
A bearish trend begins only when:
  • The previous candle closes below the lower ATR band,
  • And the downtrend is confirmed.

A red triangle signals the start of a new downtrend.
Inputs
  • ATR Length - default 10
  • ATR Multiplier - default 3.0
  • Works on all timeframes and market

Simple, but powerful.

Why Use This Version Instead of a Regular Supertrend?
Most Supertrends:
  • Look great historically
  • But repaint continuously on live charts
  • Give false trend flips intrabar
  • Cannot be reliably used in strategies

This version:
  • Uses strict previous-bar logic
  • Never repaints trend direction
  • Works perfectly in live trading
  • Backtests accurately
  • Is ideal for algorithmic strategies

Ideal For:
  • Trend-following strategies
  • Breakout trading
  • Algo trading systems
  • Reversal detection
  • Filtering market noise
  • Swing trading & scalping


Final Note
This is a safer, more reliable Supertrend designed for real-world use — not perfect-looking repaint illusions.
If you use Supertrend in your trading system, this no-repaint version ensures your signals are trustworthy and consistent.
