SuperTrend Indicator – FX Replay Guide

The SuperTrend Indicator in FX Replay is a trend-following overlay that dynamically shifts with price action and volatility. It helps you identify directional bias, time entries, and manage exits with visual clarity during both intraday and swing backtesting.

How to Add It in FX Replay:

  • Open the Indicators panel
  • Search for “SuperTrend”
  • Add it to your chart
  • Default settings:
    • ATR Period: 10
    • Multiplier: 3
  • Adjust settings based on volatility or asset class

How It Works:

  • Bullish Signal:
    Price closes above the SuperTrend line → line turns green → suggests long bias
  • Bearish Signal:
    Price closes below the SuperTrend line → line turns red → suggests short bias

Trade Setup Examples:

  • Long Entry:
    Price breaks above SuperTrend during London or NY session
    → Confirm with RSI rising or structure break
    → Enter long
  • Short Entry:
    Price breaks below SuperTrend at session open with rejection wick
    → Confirm with bearish candle
    → Enter short

How to Use in FX Replay:

  • Test SuperTrend entries around FVGs, session opens, or liquidity zones
  • Use the SuperTrend as a trailing stop
    → Adjust your stop to just outside the indicator line during playback
  • Evaluate false flips by checking for structure and confluence
    → Avoid trading during flat/noise periods

Optimization Tips:

  • Short-term traders:
    • ATR = 10
    • Multiplier = 1.5–2 for more responsive entries
  • Swing traders:
    • ATR = 14–21
    • Multiplier = 3+ for smoother signals
  • Combine with:
    • SMMA
    • VWAP
    • Volume spikes for added confirmation

Pro Tip:

In FX Replay, the SuperTrend is especially useful for avoiding chop. Use it as a bias filter:
If the line is red, don’t take long trades unless there’s a clear reversal setup
→ e.g., liquidity sweep + bullish candle + structure break
