Safe Supertrend Strategy (No Repaint)Overview
The Safe Supertrend is a repaint-free version of the popular Supertrend trend-following indicator.
Most Supertrend indicators appear perfect on historical charts because they flip intrabar and then repaint after the candle closes.
This version fixes that by using close-of-bar confirmation only, making every trend flip 100% stable, safe, and non-repainting.
Why This Supertrend Doesn’t Repaint
Most Supertrend indicators calculate their trend direction using the current bar’s data.
But during a live candle:
ATR expands and contracts
The upper/lower bands move
Price moves above/below the band temporarily
A false flip appears → then disappears when the candle closes
That is classic repainting.
This indicator avoids all of that by using:
close > upper
close < lower
This means:
Trend direction flips only based on the previous candle,
No intrabar calculations,
No flickering signals,
No “perfect but fake” historical performance.
Every signal you see on the chart is exactly what was available in real-time.
How It Works
Calculates ATR (Average True Range) and SMA centerline
Builds upper and lower volatility bands
Confirms trend flips only after the previous bar closes
Plots clear bull and bear reversal signals
Works on all markets (crypto, stocks, forex, indices)
No repainting, no recalc, no misleading flips.
Bullish Signal (Trend Up)
A bullish trend begins only when:
The previous candle closes above the upper ATR band,
And this flip is fully confirmed.
A green triangle marks the start of a new uptrend.
Bearish Signal (Trend Down)
A bearish trend begins only when:
The previous candle closes below the lower ATR band,
And the downtrend is confirmed.
A red triangle signals the start of a new downtrend.
Inputs
ATR Length - default 10
ATR Multiplier - default 3.0
Works on all timeframes and market
Simple, but powerful.
Why Use This Version Instead of a Regular Supertrend?
Most Supertrends:
Look great historically
But repaint continuously on live charts
Give false trend flips intrabar
Cannot be reliably used in strategies
This version:
Uses strict previous-bar logic
Never repaints trend direction
Works perfectly in live trading
Backtests accurately
Is ideal for algorithmic strategies
Ideal For:
Trend-following strategies
Breakout trading
Algo trading systems
Reversal detection
Filtering market noise
Swing trading & scalping
Final Note
This is a safer, more reliable Supertrend designed for real-world use — not perfect-looking repaint illusions.
If you use Supertrend in your trading system, this no-repaint version ensures your signals are trustworthy and consistent.
