MTForge SuperTrend — Adaptive Trend Following for MT5
A professional-grade SuperTrend indicator built for serious traders. Unlike basic SuperTrend tools, MTForge SuperTrend gives you two trend detection modes and six moving average types, letting you fine-tune the indicator to match any market condition.
What It Does
The indicator plots a single colored line on your chart that flips between support (green) and resistance (red). When price is trending up, the line sits below price as dynamic support. When price turns down, the line jumps above as dynamic resistance. The color change is your signal — green means bullish, red means bearish.
Two Trend Modes
ATR Mode uses the classic Average True Range to calculate how far the trend line sits from price. Works well in steady, directional markets. DualThrust Mode adapts the offset using both highs vs closes and closes vs lows, making it more responsive in volatile or choppy conditions. Switch between them with a single dropdown.
Six Moving Average Types
The trend line is built on a moving average core. You choose which one: SMA for simplicity, EMA for responsiveness, WMA for weighted smoothing, HMA (Hull) for minimal lag, TMA (Triangular) for extra smoothness, or TEMA for fast signals. Each changes how quickly the SuperTrend reacts to price moves. HMA is the default — it gives the best balance between speed and noise reduction.
How Traders Use It
Enter long when the line flips green. Enter short when it flips red. Use the line as your trailing stop — if price closes beyond it, the trend has changed. Combine with volume or RSI confirmation for higher-probability setups. Works on any timeframe and any instrument — futures, forex, stocks, crypto.
Key Settings
Period controls how many bars the ATR or DualThrust calculation looks back. Multiplier controls how far the line sits from price — higher values give fewer signals but less whipsaw. Smoothing Period controls the moving average length. Optional arrows mark trend changes directly on the chart. Optional bar coloring lets you see the trend state at a glance.
