Supertrend

A trailing line based on volatility that flips between above and below the price.

Supertrend places a band a number of ATRs away from the price. When price closes through it, the line flips side and the trend is considered changed.

The series 'direction' is +1 in an uptrend and −1 in a downtrend.
