The Supertrend is a trend-following indicator that helps identify the direction of the market and gives clear buy or sell signals. It is plotted as a line above or below the price, changing position when the trend reverses. Supertrend uses the Average True Range (ATR) and a multiplier to determine its position and sensitivity. It works best in trending markets, offering easy visual cues for traders to follow the price direction.
