Then how does your wealth is created?
It created with discipline and proper money management to catch those 42% of Winning Trades and Exiting properly at Stop Loss Hits.

What is the maximum continious losses the trading system can yield?
Since 2010 after backtesting with 5min data it is inferred that till to date 9 consecuitve losses had occured. Refer with Bactest results.

What is the Best Paramters to fine tune the system to eliminate more whipsaws?
Optimized Parameters are Multiplier =2 and ATR=11. However the default values of trading system are Multiplier =3 and ATR=10.

For Which Instrument the Trading System is Optimized?
The Trading system is optimized for 5min Nifty Futures charts

Can i trade with Any other stocks/indices?
Stricly No. As the Trading system is optimized for 5min Nifty future charts only.

How to Enter and Exit?

Entry should be based on the completion of the close of 5min Bar Candle. Trade should be executed with 5secs once the 5min candle complete. Trade should not be executed before the completion of 5min bars.

Trade Should be taken only if you see the next bar open. And Strictly not at the intermediate points between the signals.

How many Nifty Future Lots is required to Trade the Trading system?
2 Lots (100 shares) of Nifty at any trades. Size of the trade should not vary throughout the trading system and it is fixed.

Can i trade using the live Buy or Sell indicator?

  6. Hey Raj,

    Wanted to ask you a Question, If someone needs to learn the basics of Amibroker and how to use that, where can we find Tutorials or guide on that.

    Reply

  7. @Harshit Patel

    You need to be clear what you are going to learn

    1) Do you want to Build your own trading system -- Then you need programming langugage skills to proceed. You can go to the amibroker website and download the AFL guide and proceed with that.

    2)Other wise if you want to test your own trading system and to optimize it then tutors are available in amibroker website itself.

      Reply

  8. @Rajandran…….that link gives a code but that does not have any buy sell signal…..etc. Also probably there are different settings…there are more whipsaws….can u please update the settings to the same as your AFL code

    Reply

  9. @Sidharth : Yes the mql4 doesnt has any signal.

    The default parameters are Factor = 3 and ATR=10 and you can change those parameters for your requirement.

    Factor=Param(“Factor”,3,1,10,1);
    Pd=Param(“ATR Periods”,10,1,100,1);

  18. Hi Rajandran,

    I checked the supertrend, it is not working on 15 minutes timeframe ( not profitable :result (-19.24%)). whereas
    on the 5 minute timeframe, it is giving too many calls, may be some refining on the calls like some filters would help it to be better… have u thought of including volume as an indicator for filtering calls.

  27. @ Rajesh,

    I got its image only from tradaerji.com I am not sure which AFL code are use. But I think it is heikein ashi chart and plot with zigzag indicator. I think it’s B/S signal generate after 4/5 candle (reprint signal). So it is useless.

  28. Rajandran….as usual,you are on cherryon top of the cream…let me test this.but as per ur glorious record…it should be fine.

    Reply

  40. Rajandran, one more thing. As most of us are intraday aspirant traders/players.
    In your backtesting, my sense you will be giving arithmetic of plain entry and exit calcuations and returns and cumulative points etc. But it will be better if u can also add how many instances call was able to get xyz points, the bare minium points at which most of day traders look as first target.Some take as 15 or 20 or 25 depending on their mindst and brokerage.
    Today, Nifty FUTURE as per super trend gave a sell @5103 09.45 and reverse long came at 5106 11.10. So at first glance, it was a loss of 3 points. But there was a dip to 5072 means was a chnce of booking 15/20/25 points depending on persoanl first target level.I am aware of super trend’s T1/T2/T3. But i am talking about bare minium first target.Also you are welcome with analysis of supertrend’s T1/T2 achieved.

    Hope u get my point..

  58. Hi,

    I would want to use this AFL code in my newly purchased Amibroker software.
    Sorry to bother but can some one reply or email (swetalshah99@gmail.com) on how to add this .zip file or any other AFL code (.txt) into my Amibroker and start using / testing it?
    I would highly appreciate your support / help in this regard.

    Thanks.

  59. Hi Rajandran,

    Super trend is working fine with MT platform. I have one query, can we predict a trend, either up or down, will go for a long time so that we can put our position in that to get maximum return. OR can we get signal of trend reversal few sticks earlier so that we can close out current position and quit so that we could not trap in reverse trend, losing our profit. If yes please tell.

    Thank you for super SUPERTREND

    • Its tough to predict even a structured market in lower timeframes where you dont know when it reacts and when it turns/twists its direction. Its tough to predict a sideways market though prediction tools like Elliot Wave, GANN are available. But the problem is that the risk involved in such system are tough to evaluated.

    From your amib upper tool bar click on ‘Formula Editor’ ( icon resembles hammer) and just copy paste that code from text file and save that AFL to desired sub- folder under Formuals.

  62. Very very thanks Rajandra for your code. I have recently purchased Amibroker Professional and made and tried many system, But today i found your super trend and I visualize it on 3-min IEOD data of Nifty future and found excellent.

    But when I back tested I found it giving negative results can you please tell me what position size, periodicity and equity, margin and brokerage to be used when backtesting to get original results as we see in the charts.

    I am going to trade your system for next month and I am sure will get huge profit, obviously with my own risk.

    Once again very thanks for your help.

  65. Average True Range (ATR)
    Introduction

    Developed by J. Welles Wilder, the Average True Range (ATR) is an indicator that measures volatility. As with most of his indicators, Wilder designed ATR with commodities and daily prices in mind. Commodities are frequently more volatile than stocks. They were are often subject to gaps and limit moves, which occur when a commodity opens up or down its maximum allowed move for the session. A volatility formula based only on the high-low range would fail to capture volatility from gap or limit moves. Wilder created Average True Range to capture this “missing” volatility. It is important to remember that ATR does not provide an indication of price direction, just volatility.

    Wilder features ATR in his 1978 book, New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems. This book also includes the Parabolic SAR, RSI and the Directional Movement Concept (ADX). Despite being developed before the computer age, Wilder’s indicators have stood the test of time and remain extremely popular.
    True Range

    Wilder started with a concept called True Range (TR), which is defined as the greatest of the following:

    Method 1: Current High less the current Low
    Method 2: Current High less the previous Close (absolute value)
    Method 3: Current Low less the previous Close (absolute value)

    Absolute values are used to ensure positive numbers. After all, Wilder was interested in measuring the distance between two points, not the direction. If the current period’s high is above the prior period’s high and the low is below the prior period’s low, then the current period’s high-low range will be used as the True Range. This is an outside day that would use Method 1 to calculate the TR. This is pretty straight forward. Methods 2 and 3 are used when there is a gap or an inside day. A gap occurs when the previous close is greater than the current high (signaling a potential gap down or limit move) or the previous close is lower than the current low (signaling a potential gap up or limit move). The image below shows examples of when methods 2 and 3 are appropriate.

    ATR -- True Range Image

    Example A: A small high/low range formed after a gap up. The TR equals the absolute value of the difference between the current high and the previous close.

    Example B: A small high/low range formed after a gap down. The TR equals the absolute value of the difference between the current low and the previous close.

    Example C: Even though the current close is within the previous high/low range, the current high/low range is quite small. In fact, it is smaller than the absolute value of the difference between the current high and the previous close, which is used to value the TR.
    Calculation

    Typically, the Average True Range (ATR) is based on 14 periods and can be calculated on an intraday, daily, weekly or monthly basis. For this example, the ATR will be based on daily data. Because there must be a beginning, the first TR value is simply the High minus the Low, and the first 14-day ATR is the average of the daily TR values for the last 14 days. After that, Wilder sought to smooth the data by incorporating the previous period’s ATR value.

    Current ATR = [(Prior ATR x 13) + Current TR] / 14

    -- Multiply the previous 14-day ATR by 13.
    -- Add the most recent day’s TR value.
    -- Divide the total by 14

    ATR -- Spreadsheet

    Click here for an Excel Spreadsheet showing the start of an ATR calculation for QQQQ.

    In the Spreadsheet example, the first True Range value (.91) equals the High minus the Low (yellow cells). The first 14-day ATR value (.56)) was calculated by finding the average of the first 14 True Range values (blue cell). Subsequent ATR values were smoothed using the formula above. The spreadsheet values correspond with the yellow area on the chart below. Notice how ATR surged as QQQQ plunged in May with many long candlesticks.

    ATR -- Chart 1

    For those trying this at home, a few caveats apply. First, ATR values depend on where you begin. The first True Range value is simply the current High minus the current Low and the first ATR is an average of the first 14 True Range values. The real ATR formula does not kick in until day 15. Even so, the remnants of these first two calculations linger to slightly affect ATR values. Spreadsheet values for a small subset of data may not match exactly with what is seen on the price chart. Decimal rounding can also slightly affect ATR values.
    Absolute ATR

    ATR is based on the True Range, which uses absolute price changes. As such, ATR reflects volatility as absolute level. In other words, ATR is not shown as a percentage of the current close. This means low priced stocks will have lower ATR values than high price stocks. For example, a $20-30 security will have much lower ATR values than a $200-300 security. Because of this, ATR values are not comparable. Even large price movements for a single security, such as a decline from 70 to 20, can make long-term ATR comparisons impractical. Chart 4 shows Google with double digit ATR values and chart 5 shows Microsoft with ATR values below 1. Despite different values, their ATR lines have similar shapes.

    ATR -- Chart 4

    ATR -- Chart 5
    Conclusions

    ATR is not a directional indicator, such as MACD or RSI. Instead, ATR is a unique volatility indicator that reflects the degree of interest or disinterest in a move. Strong moves, in either direction, are often accompanied by large ranges, or large True Ranges. This is especially true at the beginning of a move. Uninspiring moves can be accompanied by relatively narrow ranges. As such, ATR can be used to validate the enthusiasm behind a move or breakout. A bullish reversal with an increase in ATR would show strong buying pressure and reinforce the reversal. A bearish support break with an increase in ATR would show strong selling pressure and reinforce the support break.
    SharpCharts

    Listed as “Average True Range”, ATR is on the Indicators drop-down menu. The “parameters” box to the right of the indicator contains the default value, 14, for the number of periods used to smooth the data. To adjust the period setting, highlight the default value and enter a new setting. Wilder often used 8 period ATR. SharpCharts also allows users to position the indicator above, below, or behind the price plot. A moving average can be added to identify upturns or downturns in ATR. Click “advanced options” to add a moving average as an indicator overlay. Click here for a live example of ATR.

    Installed your super trend today, the first time when manshi rt opened amibroker it showed the box on the left side where you inform last buy/sell call sl etc. I closed amibroker lot of pain went in actually getting odin data in amibroker and finally data came in to amibroker. Your buy sell is also appearing for previous day. But today (saturday) is not getting updated.

    My question is does your code not work on Saturday ??. Does it work only on weedays? Also I am trying to use your indicator for commodities, will that be a problem?

    I also have another question, is it not possible for your code logic to be somehow put directly in ODIN?

The formula appeared to target changes in Trend which I want to use as trade signals in trading ETF’s long/short (pairs trading) . There are over 100 Long/Short ETF Pairs.
    I would appreciate if you could send me the necessary changes to the program so it will work on a EOD basis. I especially like the PopUP (red) but it is useless with current time periods so a change to daily would be most appreciated. Thanks

    This is in follow up to my recent post. I find the Super Trend formula (without the red message board and black background to be more accurate on trend Buy/Sell arrows than the aforementioned newer one. This is based on the long/short silver ETF’s (USLV & DSLV) Why so? As I presume same basic formula used.
    I do like the “Message board” box but would like to get version (tell me how to change) so that daily time period rather than minutes or seconds. Your help on this will be most appreciated. Thanks

  89. Your super trend formula for amibroker is excellent -- the only drawback for me is that it is an automated formula system, and also to change the parameters I have to use the edit function. It would be great if you can make a minor modification wherein we can change the settings in the parameters menu. Unfortunately I am not skilled in programming.
    I would also like to know how to plot only the lines of the supertrend on to the price chart itself with an ability to change the parameters from the parameter menu

  99. Raj, I tried the supertrend strategy on Nifty 5Mins for the period August 2012 to July 2013 with the same parameter of 2 and 11. The strategy has lost 8% during this period against 11% gain on Nifty (this is excluding the cost). I also tried with Nifty 60 Mins and Gold 60 and 5 Mins, the results are not satisfactory as the strategy lost money in most cases. Does this strategy really work? Has any one traded on live basis and made money? How can I improvise the strategy so that it really makes money in real trading.

    Reply

    • @Kannan : The Finetuned parameters for Nifty futures is 3 and 7 in 5min. And backtest should be done with atleast with 2-3 years of data to look into the actual result. with three or four month of backtesting we can judge the entire strategy performance.

      • @ Raj, may be my trade logic needs to be corrected. I buy when current close is greater than previous supertrend value and vice versa for sell; no stop as it a toggle. Is this logic correct? Also, what is the optimized parameters for Nifty 60Mins?

  113. Hi Rajendran,

    I have modified the Super trend, and signals are reversed if the High/Low touches the TrendUp/TrendDown line. I have done this to achieve 2 things.

    a) Reducing the Slippage (As the Stoploss order is already with server and there is no delay when the signal is generated and order execution. This is helpful in volatile markets.)

    b) I can trade multiple scripts at the same time as my automated trading system will not work when the multiple orders are generated at the same time.

    Further some of the features are:
    1) I am using the ATR -6 and Multiplier-4 and 10 min TF

    2) I keep trailing the Stoploss as mentioned in step 1.

    3) My setup is fully automated and runs on the VPS.

    Last 3 months I am not getting good results. I would like to know if I am doing anything wrong?
    Can you share the performance of the ST used by you for last 3 months?
