Supertrend Multi-Timeframe

Discuss Supertrend Multi-Timeframe (an MTF panel indicator with alerts to work with multiple timeframes) for MT4 and MT5 in this thread. You can ask any questions about this indicator here.
Hi how can you make the supertrend indicator line show base on selected timeframe?


Eg . When I'm M15 timeframe I want the H1 timeframe supertrend indicator line to show base on the H1 timeframe while on m15 timeframe . So it better filter .

This indicator cannot do that. It's the original Supertrend that should be re-coded to allow something like that.

hey enivid...... unless i'm mistaken, the input Comment is being used in both the supertrend and multi-time frame versions mq5 zip files of the supertrend itself......

is that allowed...... thanks......h


input string Comment = "===================="; // Notification Options

MQL5:
//------ line 44
 
input string Comment">Comment = "===================="; // Notification Options

and another question, when i put the code in the mq5 code box it doubles the word comment...... wonder why.....

Has anybody explored the possibility of incorporating the Supertrend Multi-Timeframe into an EA ?
What other confirmation indicators have other users found effective with it ?

hey maverick...... i've written ea's just about every indicator that's practical...... could not even begin to guess how many......

unless your countertrend trading, the same things seem to benefit them all...... higher timeframe confirmations of trend......

such as, consider timeframes 30 thru 1440 are all above the raghee horner 34 ma wave which is rising..... in addition, the stochastics are rising on all...... the jjma and jfatl are rising......

almost any signal, which includes the supertrend, will be effective a large % of the time on the 1 and 5 minute charts.......

better still is the above conditions where the 240 and 1440 zigzags are down.......

it's just a collection of confirming bools.......h

It was allowed until some recent update. It no longer is because Comment is a name of a built-in MQL5 function.
and another question, when i put the code in the mq5 code box it doubles the word comment...... wonder why..... MQL5:
I think, it's the same issue - our syntax highlighter gets confused between the function name and the input parameter name.

JJMA (Jurik Moving Average) indicators
are high-performance, adaptive technical analysis tools designed to smooth price data with minimal time lag, offering superior responsiveness compared to standard moving averages. They are commonly used to identify trend directions, filter noise in fast-moving markets, and identify potential reversals.
 
Still not sure about ...

H'mmm
//------

for me, it's best to have a line in the sand....... quite often it will be the wave...... when the price is above i will lean to buys, when below i'll lean to sells......

when we consider many indicators, if they all somewhat agree on the higher timeframes, the lower time frames signals seem work out better.....

the jjma and jfatl react the fastest...... so those i watch for turns......

the supertrend line is in the stop and reverse family of indicators...... similar to psar, bbands stops and the like......

stop and reverse indicators work well with momentum indicators...... like macd and stochastics.......

the more you have on your side the better......h

JFATL (Jurik Fast Adaptive Trend Line) indicators
Sorry, couldn't find a suitable video 🙁
are technical analysis tools for MetaTrader (MT4/MT5) that combine a digital FATL filter with Jurik (JMA) adaptive smoothing to identify trends with high speed and minimal lag. They are designed to detect early trend reversals and provide smooth trend direction, often utilizingcolor-coded signals.

yeah, there is a very sad reason for that....... known as , appeal to the lowest common denominator........

the jurik indicators are designed to be quick in response with little overshoot...... if you put them on a chart you will see.....

if you take all indicators and display them as dots, where up is blue and down is red, you can quickly see direction and speed of reaction of all....... so you can compare......

imagine a time when all are blue or red on the 60, 240 and 1440 charts......... the lower timeframe signals have the wind to their backs.......

supertrend signals will do better......h

yellow line is jjma......

IMO, rather like waiting for a blue moon ... getting them all to agree at the same time ... not saying it never happens, but blink and you will miss it ... hence the need for a bot 🙂
//---

it happens more often and longer than anyone would think..... it's relatively easy to predict...... and well worth the wait......

consider the daily chart below...... they all don't have to agree, but just enough to clear the fog........

my trading so often reminds me of that scene in the movie shadow....... seems it is so hard for me to see through......

metatrader can do that somewhat........h

So busy chatting here, I missed this move ... WTF has Trump said now ? ... Need an EA asap
No idea what MT SuperTrend was showing at 16:00 chart time (14:00 GMT)
Got it right for the bounce though
Question is ... How to avoid the sideways market ?
Is there anyway for the MTST to show historical data ?
