Supertrend Strategy with ATR TP and SL


Overview
The Supertrend strategy is a trend-following trading system that utilizes the Average True Range (ATR) to determine the market's volatility and to set dynamic support and resistance levels. This strategy employs the Supertrend indicator to identify entry and exit points for trades, specifically focusing on long and short positions in the market.

Key Components
Inputs

ATR Period: This defines the lookback period for calculating the ATR, which helps in understanding market volatility. The default value is set to 10.
Supertrend Multiplier: This multiplier adjusts the sensitivity of the Supertrend indicator. A value of 3 is used, affecting the upper and lower bands of the Supertrend calculation.
TP (Take Profit) ATR Multiplier: This multiplier is used to calculate the take profit level based on the ATR (default value is 3).
SL (Stop Loss) ATR Multiplier: This multiplier dictates the stop loss distance from the entry point concerning the ATR, set to a value of 1.5.
Number of Bars to Use for Backtest: This setting determines how many bars are analyzed during testing, set to a default of 240.
Trading Mode: Options are provided to choose whether to take only long positions or only short positions.
ATR Calculation

The ATR is computed using a specified period, allowing traders to gauge market volatility effectively. This is crucial for setting appropriate stop loss and take profit levels.
Supertrend Calculation

The Supertrend indicator is calculated using the ATR and the multiplier to derive upper and lower bands. The current market price is compared against these bands to determine the trend direction.
Trade Signals

Buy Signal: Generated when the price closes above the Supertrend line, indicating a potential upward trend.
Sell Signal: Generated when the price closes below the Supertrend line, indicating a potential downward trend.
Entry and Exit Strategies

When a buy signal is triggered, the strategy will enter a long position while setting the take profit and stop loss based on the ATR values.
Conversely, if a sell signal occurs, a short position is opened with respective take profit and stop loss levels.
Alert Conditions

Alerts are set up for both buy and sell signals, allowing users to be notified when trade opportunities arise.
