Hi

I am new to supertrend indicator.
If one is day trading with 3min or 5min time frame on ES or TF what is the appropriate parameter to use on TS supertrend. I tried changing the period and smoothing MA from default but could not see the different.
Also is there any accompanying indicators for use with it?

Here is an improved and modified version of SuperTrend.

Aparently this feature dissappeared on the latest versions of the code.

Strategy with the latest version?

Is there a simple buy, sell strategy written for the latest version?.

Hi All,

I am in the process of writing a strategy that trades when DoubleMA and TSSuperTrend agree. I was able to successfully compile and test the DoubleMA part alone but cannot, for the life of me, figure out the TSSuperTrend part. I've read through every post of this thread (twice) and none of the suggestions I've tried have worked. I am attaching a zip file of what I have so far. If anyone can post (or edit my current strategy and turn it around to me) I would be forever grateful. In fact, at this point, I'm ready to name my first born child after the successful coder. I am using the latest version if TSSuperTrend (2.3) with the following parameters: 14, HMA, 1.5, 14, ATR. If possible, please write it in such a way that it only trades upon an initial crossover, i.e.: if TSSuperTrend(parameters).UpTrend[0] && !TSSuperTrend(parameters).UpTrend[1] so that I only get one entry per trend crossover.

Thank you,
Dave

I think if you use:

if (TSSuperTrend(params).Trend[0]   
    && !TSSuperTrend(params).Trend[1])

this will catch the breakout to the upside for a long and vice-versa for short.

Hi laparker,

I truly appreciate the effort but there is something different about TSSuperTrend than other indicators and I can't figure out what it is. Your suggestion (and the other combos I've tried) results in the following error message:

'NinjaTrader.Strategy.Strategy.TSSuperTrend(int, TSSuperTrend.Utility.MovingAverageType, double, int, TSSuperTrend.Utility.SuperTrendMode)' is a method, which is not valid in the given context.

Unfortunately, I don't really know what that means or how to fix it.

Any ideas?

[laparker]

do you have

using TradingStudies.NinjaScript.Utility;

included in the Using declarations region at the top of your strategy script?

[dsraider]

Okay, I'll be honest. No I did not....

However, now I get: The type or namespace name 'TradingStudies' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Maybe the newest version has a different utility name?

[laparker]

There is a file - TradingStudies.NinjaScript.Utility.cs that should be in your indicator directory. This sounds like it is missing. It should have been installed when you downloaded the indicator. You might like to try to re-install TSSuperTrend from the web site.

[dsraider]

Okay, just checked. Yes, I have it, but I think it's called "TSSuperTrend.Utility" (without the 'NinjaScript' part). The actual indicator matches in the code. After adding that to the declarations, I'm now back to the "...is a method" error.

[laparker]

The version of TSSuperTrend I have is 2.1. It uses TradingStudies.NinjaScript.Utility in the indicator code and by putting the same in a strategy with the TradingStudies.NinjaScript.Utility.cs being in the indicator directory, it works.

Don't know what else to suggest

[dsraider]

Well, I deleted my version (2.3), went back through the thread and found 2.1. After installing and following your instructions verbatim, it COMPILED! Onto testing. Will report back. Get my unborn child's name ready

[dsraider]

Almost there...

It took the first signal in each direction perfectly but it didn't take any following pullbacks and breakouts. (Note that it does not take the initial DoubleMA crossover, which is right). Please see pic for what I'm hoping for.

My condition code is as follows. Am I missing something? When I tried throwing an extra set of parentheses around the TSSuperTrend && !TSSupertrend part, it ended up just entering again at each new bar, which I don't want:

if ((DoubleMA(5, NinjaTrader.Indicator.DoubleMA_internal.DMAType.HM A, 45, NinjaTrader.Indicator.DoubleMA_internal.DMAType.VM A).Signal[0] == 1)
&& TSSuperTrend(14, TradingStudies.NinjaScript.Utility.MovingAverageTy pe.HMA, 1.5, 14, TradingStudies.NinjaScript.Utility.SuperTrendMode. ATR).Trend[0] && !TSSuperTrend(14, TradingStudies.NinjaScript.Utility.MovingAverageTy pe.SMA, 1.5, 14, TradingStudies.NinjaScript.Utility.SuperTrendMode. ATR).Trend[1])

Thanks,
Dave
