SuperTrend With Custom Signal Shapes
Overview
SuperTrend is a custom technical indicator for MetaTrader 5 designed to help traders visualize market trends and identify potential bullish and bearish reversals directly on the price chart.
Using Average True Range (ATR) calculations and a configurable multiplier, the indicator plots dynamic trend lines that adapt to market volatility. Green lines represent bullish trends, while red lines represent bearish trends.
When the indicator detects a change in trend direction on a completed historical candle, it can display a corresponding Buy or Sell signal on the chart.
With customizable ATR settings, selectable signal shapes, adjustable signal sizes, and an option to show or hide trading signals, SuperTrend provides a flexible charting tool for traders who prefer a clean visual representation of market direction.

Important Information
SuperTrend is a technical analysis indicator, not an automated trading system. It does not open, manage, or close trades.
Buy and Sell markers identify changes in the indicator's calculated trend direction. They should not be interpreted as guarantees of profitable trades or as recommendations to enter the market without additional analysis and risk management.
