Features and Functionality
1. Dynamic Trend Channels
The indicator calculates trend channels for five timeframes:
Each channel consists of:
DayTrade Channel Anchoring
The DayTrade channel, enabled by the "Show DayTrade Trend Lines" toggle, anchors its trendlines to the high and low prices of the previous and current trading days, with updates restricted to before 12 PM to capture significant price movements during the morning session, which is often more volatile due to market openings or news events. After 12 PM, the trendlines and projections remain static for the rest of the trading day, providing a consistent reference for potential support and resistance levels. This static anchoring allows traders to anticipate price reactions based on historical highs and lows from the previous day and the morning session of the current day, making it ideal for intraday trading strategies.
The static nature after 12 PM ensures that the trendlines and projections do not shift mid-session, offering a stable framework for assessing whether price action respects or breaks these levels, potentially indicating trend continuation or reversal.

This description details the indicator’s features, functionality, and display, focusing on the DayTrade channel’s anchoring, the role of static and dynamic channels in projecting future price action, the heartline’s potential as a volume indicator, and how traders can use the indicator for line-to-line trading strategies. It also covers the integration of SuperTrend, EMA, VIDYA, dynamic S/R, and market maker targets, explaining their roles in enhancing trading decisions.
Features and Functionality
1. Dynamic Trend Channels
The indicator calculates trend channels for five timeframes:
- DayTrade Channel: Tracks daily highs and lows, updating before 12 PM each trading day.
- Weekly Channel: Tracks highs and lows over a user-selected period (1, 2, or 3 weeks).
- Monthly Channel: Tracks monthly highs and lows over a user-selected period (1, 2, or 3 months).
- Quarterly Channel: Tracks highs and lows over a user-selected period (1 or 2 quarters).
- Yearly/All-Time Channel: Tracks highs and lows over a user-selected period (1 to 10 years or All Time).
Each channel consists of:
- Upper Trendline: Connects the high prices of the previous and current periods.
- Lower Trendline: Connects the low prices of the previous and current periods.
- Projections: Extends the trendlines forward based on the trend’s slope.
- Heartline: A dashed line drawn at the midpoint between the upper and lower trendlines or their projections.
DayTrade Channel Anchoring
The DayTrade channel, enabled by the "Show DayTrade Trend Lines" toggle, anchors its trendlines to the high and low prices of the previous and current trading days, with updates restricted to before 12 PM to capture significant price movements during the morning session, which is often more volatile due to market openings or news events. After 12 PM, the trendlines and projections remain static for the rest of the trading day, providing a consistent reference for potential support and resistance levels. This static anchoring allows traders to anticipate price reactions based on historical highs and lows from the previous day and the morning session of the current day, making it ideal for intraday trading strategies.
The static nature after 12 PM ensures that the trendlines and projections do not shift mid-session, offering a stable framework for assessing whether price action respects or breaks these levels, potentially indicating trend continuation or reversal.
Static vs. Dynamic Channels
- Static Channels: Once set (e.g., after 12 PM for the DayTrade channel or at the start of a new period for other timeframes), the trendlines remain fixed until the next period begins. This static behavior allows traders to use the channels as reference levels for potential price targets or reversal points, as they are based on historical price extremes.
- Dynamic Projections: The projections extend the trendlines forward, providing a visual guide for potential future price action, assuming the trend’s momentum continues. When a trendline or projection is broken (e.g., price closes above the upper projection or below the lower projection), it may suggest a breakout or reversal, prompting traders to reassess their positions.
2. Reflection Channels (DayTrade Only)
The DayTrade channel includes optional lower and upper reflection channels, which are additional trendlines positioned symmetrically around the main channel to provide extended support and resistance zones. These are controlled by the "Show Reflection Channel" dropdown:
- Lower Reflection Channel:
Position: Drawn below the lower trendline at a distance equal to the range between the upper and lower trendlines.
Projection: Extends forward as a dashed line.
Heartline: A dashed line drawn at the midpoint between the lower trendline and the lower reflection trendline, controlled by the "Show Reflection Heartline(s)" toggle. - Upper Reflection Channel:
Position: Drawn above the upper trendline at the same distance as the main channel’s range.
Projection: Extends forward as a dashed line.
Heartline: A dashed line drawn at the midpoint between the upper trendline and the upper reflection trendline, controlled by the "Show Reflection Heartline(s)" toggle. - Display Control: The "Show Reflection Channel" dropdown allows users to select:
"None": No reflection channels are shown.
"Lower": Only the lower reflection channel is shown.
"Upper": Only the upper reflection channel is shown.
"Both": Both reflection channels are shown. - Purpose: Reflection channels extend the price range analysis by providing additional levels where price may react, acting as potential targets or reversal zones after breaking the main trendlines.
3. Heartlines
Each timeframe, including the DayTrade channel and its reflection channels, can display a heartline, which is a dashed line plotted at the midpoint between the upper and lower trendlines or their projections. For the DayTrade channel:
- Main DayTrade Heartline: Midpoint between the upper and lower trendlines, controlled by the "Show DayTrade Heartline" toggle.
- Lower Reflection Heartline: Midpoint between the lower trendline and the lower reflection trendline, controlled by the "Show Reflection Heartline(s)" toggle.
- Upper Reflection Heartline: Midpoint between the upper trendline and the upper reflection trendline, controlled by the "Show Reflection Heartline(s)" toggle.
- Independent Toggles: Visibility is controlled by:
"Show DayTrade Heartline": For the main DayTrade heartline.
"Show Reflection Heartline(s)": For both lower and upper reflection heartlines. - Potential Volume Indicator: The heartline represents the average price level between the high and low of a period, which may correlate with areas of high trading activity or volume concentration, as these midpoints often align with price levels where buyers and sellers have historically converged. A break above or below the heartline, especially with strong momentum, may indicate a shift in market sentiment, potentially leading to accelerated price movement in the direction of the break. However, this is an observation based on the heartline’s position, not a direct measure of volume, as the script does not incorporate volume data.
4. SuperTrend Indicator
The script integrates a traditional SuperTrend indicator, which uses the Average True Range (ATR) to plot a trend-following line that adjusts dynamically to price action:
- Parameters: Hardcoded ATR period of 14 and multiplier of 3.0, with the source set to the closing price.
- Calculation: The SuperTrend line is calculated as the lower band (close - ATR * multiplier) in an uptrend or the upper band (close + ATR * multiplier) in a downtrend, switching based on price crossing the previous SuperTrend value.
- Display: Plotted as a solid line, green in an uptrend and red in a downtrend.
- Purpose: Provides a clear visual indication of the current trend direction, complementing the trend channels by highlighting immediate support/resistance levels based on recent volatility.
5. 10-Period EMA and VIDYA
The script incorporates a 10-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and a Variable Index Dynamic Average (VIDYA) from the SuperTrader indicator:
- 10-Period EMA:
Calculation: A simple moving average of the closing price over 10 periods, smoothed to act as an EMA.
Display: Plotted with a color that changes based on whether the current close is above (bright green) or below (darker green) the EMA.
Purpose: Acts as a short-term trend indicator, helping traders identify momentum and potential entry/exit points. - VIDYA:
Calculation: Uses a 10-period trend line with a 20-period momentum calculation, smoothed over 15 periods. VIDYA adjusts its sensitivity based on market volatility, making it more responsive in trending markets.
Display: Plotted in cyan, with the color reflecting the SuperTrend’s trend direction (uptrend or downtrend).
Purpose: Complements the EMA by providing a dynamic trend indicator that adapts to market conditions, useful for confirming trend direction. - Fill Between EMA and VIDYA: A background fill (green for bullish, red for bearish) is plotted between the EMA and VIDYA lines when they cross, highlighting trend changes and potential trading signals.
6. Dynamic Support/Resistance (S/R) Channels
The script includes dynamic S/R channels based on Heikin-Ashi candle patterns, derived from the SuperTrader indicator:
- Calculation: Identifies "lonely candles" using Heikin-Ashi calculations to detect significant highs (green candles) and lows (red candles). These levels are plotted as dynamic S/R lines.
- Highlighting: If the "Highlight Impulse Channels" toggle is enabled, the S/R lines are highlighted in yellow when their percentage distance is below the "Impulse Channel Distance (%)" threshold (default 3.0%), indicating a tight channel where price may react strongly.
- Display: Plotted as stepped lines (lime for support, purple for resistance), with optional background fill (green for bullish, red for bearish) when "Show Dynamic S/R Channels" is enabled.
- Percentage Distance Tags: When "Show Percentage Distance Tags" is enabled, labels display the percentage distance between the S/R lines, aiding in assessing channel tightness.
- Purpose: Provides additional dynamic support and resistance levels that complement the trend channels, helping traders identify key price zones for entries, exits, or reversals.
7. Market Maker Targets
The script includes multi-timeframe support and resistance levels, labeled as market maker targets, calculated using Heikin-Ashi-based dynamic S/R on higher timeframes:
- Timeframes: 1-hour, 2-hour, 4-hour, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Quarterly.
- Calculation: Uses the `f_dynamicSR` function to identify significant highs and lows on each timeframe, accessed via `request.security` with lookahead enabled.
- Display: When "Show Market Maker Targets" is enabled, labels are plotted at the right of the chart for each timeframe’s S/R levels (lime for support, fuchsia for resistance), showing the timeframe and price level.
- Purpose: Provides higher-timeframe context for potential support/resistance zones, useful for swing traders or those aligning intraday trades with broader market structure.
8. Alerts
The script includes alert conditions for all trend channel timeframes, triggered when a candle closes fully above the upper projection or below the lower projection:
- Upper Trend Break: Triggers when a candle closes fully above the upper projection of any timeframe.
- Lower Trend Break: Triggers when a candle closes fully below the lower projection of any timeframe.
- Alerts are combined across all timeframes, so a break in any timeframe triggers a general "Upper Trend Break" or "Lower Trend Break" alert with the message: "Candle closed fully above/below one or more projection lines." Alerts fire once per bar close.
- Purpose: Alerts traders to potential breakout or reversal signals, allowing timely decision-making.

Trading Applications: Line-to-Line Trading
The SuperTrend™ indicator provides a robust framework for line-to-line trading, using trendlines, projections, heartlines, SuperTrend, EMA, VIDYA, dynamic S/R channels, and market maker targets as reference points for entries, exits, and risk management. Below is a detailed explanation of how to use the DayTrade channel and its reflection channels, enhanced by the new features, for trading.
1. Why DayTrade Channel Anchoring
The DayTrade channel’s anchoring to the previous day’s high/low and the current day’s high/low before 12 PM, controlled by the "Show DayTrade Trend Lines" toggle, captures significant price levels during high-volatility periods:
- Previous Day High/Low: These represent key levels where price found resistance (high) or support (low) in the prior session, often acting as psychological or technical barriers in the current session.
- Current Day High/Low Before 12 PM: The morning session (before 12 PM) often sees increased volatility due to market openings, news releases, or institutional activity. Anchoring to these early highs/lows ensures the channel reflects the most relevant price extremes, which are likely to influence intraday price action.
- Static After 12 PM: By fixing the anchor points after 12 PM, the trendlines and projections become stable references for the afternoon session, allowing traders to anticipate price reactions at these levels without the lines shifting unexpectedly.
This anchoring makes the DayTrade channel ideal for intraday traders, providing a consistent framework based on recent price history, which can be combined with SuperTrend, EMA, VIDYA, and dynamic S/R signals for enhanced decision-making.
2. Using Static Channels and Projections
The static nature of the DayTrade channel after 12 PM, enabled by "Show DayTrade Trend Lines," and the dynamic projections, set via "DayTrade Projection Channel Color," provide a structured approach to trading:
- Support and Resistance:
The upper trendline and lower trendline act as dynamic support/resistance levels based on the previous and current day’s price extremes.
Traders may observe price reactions (e.g., bounces or breaks) at these levels. For example, if price approaches the lower trendline and bounces, it may indicate support, suggesting a potential long entry, especially if supported by a bullish SuperTrend or EMA above VIDYA. - Projections as Price Targets:
The projections extend the trendlines forward, offering potential price targets if the trend continues. For instance, if price breaks above the upper trendline and continues toward the upper projection, traders might consider it a bullish continuation signal, confirmed by a green SuperTrend or bullish fill between EMA and VIDYA.
A candle closing fully above the upper projection or below the lower projection (triggering an alert) may indicate a breakout, prompting traders to enter in the direction of the break or reassess if the break fails. - Static Channels for Breakouts:
- Because the trendlines are static after 12 PM, they serve as fixed reference points. A break above the upper trendline or its projection, especially with a bullish EMA/VIDYA crossover or dynamic S/R confirmation, may suggest bullish momentum, while a break below the lower trendline or projection may indicate bearish momentum.
- Traders can use these breaks to set entry points (e.g., entering a long position after a confirmed break above the upper projection) and place stop-losses below the broken level to manage risk.
- Because the trendlines are static after 12 PM, they serve as fixed reference points. A break above the upper trendline or its projection, especially with a bullish EMA/VIDYA crossover or dynamic S/R confirmation, may suggest bullish momentum, while a break below the lower trendline or projection may indicate bearish momentum.
3. Line-to-Line Trading Strategy
Line-to-line trading involves using the trendlines, projections, reflection channels, SuperTrend, EMA, VIDYA, dynamic S/R channels, and market maker targets as sequential price targets or reversal zones:
- Trading Within the Main Channel:
Long Setup: If price bounces off the lower trendline and moves toward the heartline (enabled by "Show DayTrade Heartline") or upper trendline, traders might enter a long position near the lower trendline, targeting the heartline or upper trendline for profit-taking. Confirmation from a green SuperTrend, EMA above VIDYA, or price above a dynamic S/R support level strengthens the signal. A stop-loss could be placed below the lower trendline or a nearby market maker target (e.g., Daily support).
Short Setup: If price rejects from the upper trendline and moves toward the heartline or lower trendline, traders might enter a short position near the upper trendline, targeting the heartline or lower trendline, with a stop-loss above the upper trendline or a market maker resistance level (e.g., 4H resistance). - Trading to Reflection Channels:
If price breaks above the upper trendline and continues toward the upper reflection trendline or its projection (enabled by "Show Reflection Channel" set to "Upper" or "Both"), traders might treat this as a breakout trade, entering long with a target at the upper reflection level and a stop-loss below the upper trendline. Confirmation from a bullish EMA/VIDYA fill or a tight dynamic S/R channel (highlighted in yellow) can enhance confidence.
Similarly, a break below the lower trendline toward the lower reflection trendline or its projection (enabled by "Show Reflection Channel" set to "Lower" or "Both") could signal a short opportunity, with a target at the lower reflection level and a stop-loss above the lower trendline. - Reversal Trades:
If price reaches the upper reflection trendline and shows signs of rejection (e.g., a bearish candlestick pattern or divergence with VIDYA), traders might consider a short position, anticipating a move back toward the main channel’s upper trendline, heartline, or a dynamic S/R level.
Conversely, a rejection at the lower reflection trendline, especially with a bullish SuperTrend or EMA/VIDYA crossover, could prompt a long position targeting the lower trendline, heartline, or a higher market maker target. - Risk Management:
- Use the heartline or dynamic S/R levels as midpoints to gauge whether price is likely to continue toward the opposite trendline or reverse. For example, a failure to break above the heartline after bouncing from the lower trendline might suggest weakening bullish momentum, prompting a tighter stop-loss.
- The static nature of the channels after 12 PM allows traders to set precise stop-loss and take-profit levels based on historical price levels, reducing the risk of chasing moving targets.
- Market maker targets (e.g., 1H or Daily S/R levels) can serve as additional stop-loss or take-profit zones, aligning intraday trades with higher-timeframe structure.
- Use the heartline or dynamic S/R levels as midpoints to gauge whether price is likely to continue toward the opposite trendline or reverse. For example, a failure to break above the heartline after bouncing from the lower trendline might suggest weakening bullish momentum, prompting a tighter stop-loss.
4. Heartline as a Volume Indicator
The heartline, controlled by toggles like "Show DayTrade Heartline" and "Show Reflection Heartline(s)," may serve as an indirect proxy for areas of high trading activity:
- Rationale: The heartline represents the average price between the high and low of a period, which often aligns with price levels where significant buying and selling have occurred, as these midpoints can correspond to areas of consolidation or high volume in the order book. While the script does not directly use volume data, the heartline’s position may reflect price levels where market participants have historically balanced supply and demand.
- Breakout Potential: A break above or below the heartline, particularly with a strong candle (e.g., wide range or high momentum), may indicate a shift in market sentiment, potentially leading to accelerated price movement in the direction of the break. For example:
A close above the main DayTrade heartline, confirmed by a green SuperTrend or bullish EMA/VIDYA crossover, could suggest buyers are overpowering sellers, potentially leading to a move toward the upper trendline or upper reflection channel.
A close below the heartline, supported by a red SuperTrend or bearish EMA/VIDYA crossover, could indicate seller dominance, targeting the lower trendline or lower reflection channel. - Trading Application:
- Traders might use heartline breaks as confirmation signals for trend continuation. For instance, after a bounce from the lower trendline, a close above the heartline, aligned with a dynamic S/R support level, could confirm bullish momentum, prompting a long entry.
- The heartline can act as a dynamic stop-loss or trailing stop level. For example, in a long trade, a trader might exit if price falls below the heartline, indicating a potential reversal.
- For reflection heartlines, a break above the upper reflection heartline or below the lower reflection heartline could signal strong momentum, as these levels are further from the main channel and may require significant buying or selling pressure to breach.
- Traders might use heartline breaks as confirmation signals for trend continuation. For instance, after a bounce from the lower trendline, a close above the heartline, aligned with a dynamic S/R support level, could confirm bullish momentum, prompting a long entry.
5. Using SuperTrend, EMA, VIDYA, Dynamic S/R, and Market Maker Targets
The integrated features enhance the trading framework:
- SuperTrend: Use the SuperTrend line to confirm the overall trend direction. For example, a long trade off the lower DayTrade trendline is stronger if the SuperTrend is green, indicating an uptrend.
- EMA and VIDYA: Monitor EMA/VIDYA crossovers and the fill color (green for bullish, red for bearish) to confirm momentum. A bullish crossover (EMA above VIDYA) near a DayTrade trendline bounce can strengthen a long signal, while a bearish crossover supports a short setup.
- Dynamic S/R Channels: Use the lime (support) and purple (resistance) lines as additional entry/exit points. If the lines are highlighted in yellow (tight channel), they may act as stronger support/resistance zones. The percentage distance tags help assess channel tightness for potential breakout trades.
- Market Maker Targets: Align trades with higher-timeframe S/R levels (e.g., 4H or Daily) to ensure confluence with broader market structure. For example, a long trade off the DayTrade lower trendline is more compelling if it aligns with a Daily support level from the market maker targets.
- Combined Signals: Combine signals for higher probability trades. For instance, a breakout above the DayTrade upper projection, confirmed by a green SuperTrend, bullish EMA/VIDYA crossover, and price above a dynamic S/R support level near a Weekly market maker target, suggests a strong bullish setup.
6. Practical Trading Considerations
- Timeframe Context: The DayTrade channel, enabled by "Show DayTrade Trend Lines," is best suited for intraday trading due to its daily anchoring and morning update behavior. Use higher timeframe channels (e.g., enabled by "Show Weekly Trend Lines" or "Show Monthly Trend Lines") and market maker targets for broader context, as breaks of the DayTrade channel may align with or be influenced by larger trends.
- Confirmation Tools: Use additional indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD, or volume-based indicators) or candlestick patterns to confirm signals at trendlines, projections, heartlines, or dynamic S/R levels. The script’s alerts and market maker targets can help identify breakouts or key levels, but traders should verify with other technical or fundamental factors.
- Risk Management: Define risk-reward ratios before entering trades. For example, a 1:2 risk-reward ratio might involve risking a stop-loss below the lower trendline or a market maker support level to target the heartline or upper trendline.
- Market Conditions: The effectiveness of the channels, heartlines, and other features depends on market conditions (e.g., trending vs. ranging markets). In choppy markets, price may oscillate within the main channel or between dynamic S/R levels, favoring range-bound strategies. In trending markets, breaks of projections, reflection channels, or market maker targets may signal continuation trades.
- Limitations: The indicator relies on historical price data and does not incorporate volume, news, or other external factors. Traders should use it as part of a broader strategy and avoid relying solely on its signals.

Conclusion
The SuperTrend™ indicator provides a comprehensive framework for technical analysis by combining dynamic trend channels, a traditional SuperTrend, a 10-period EMA, VIDYA, dynamic S/R channels, and market maker targets across multiple timeframes. The DayTrade channel’s anchoring to previous and current day highs/lows before 12 PM, enabled by "Show DayTrade Trend Lines," creates a stable reference for intraday trading, while static trendlines, dynamic projections, and reflection channels guide traders in anticipating price movements. The heartlines, controlled by toggles like "Show DayTrade Heartline" and "Show Reflection Heartline(s)," offer potential insights into high-activity price levels, with breaks indicating momentum shifts. The SuperTrend, EMA, VIDYA, dynamic S/R channels, and market maker targets enhance the indicator by providing trend confirmation, dynamic support/resistance, and higher-timeframe context. Traders can use the indicator for line-to-line trading by targeting moves between trendlines, projections, reflection channels, and S/R levels, while managing risk with stop-losses and confirmations from other tools. The indicator should be used as part of a comprehensive trading plan.
