SuperTrend Indicator – FX Replay Guide

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

- 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
