Super Trend Indicator Buffer - ChelseaB Request

[AaronKTradingForum]

Hello,

I see you made this super trend indicator, so I am reaching out for a personal request.

I know this is a big ask, but could you add a buffer for when the trend flips?

What does 'add a buffer for when the trend flips' mean?

Can you give an example of what this would/should look like?

So basically when the trend flips from bullish to bearish, the value in the buffer value should change so you know in the code that the trend has changed.

I've given it a go, maybe you can give me some ideas.

My suggestion is to use two different colors to indicate
a bullish or bearish trend.

For example,
When the SupreTrend is bullish, paint the plot line green.
When the SuperTrend is bearish, paint the plot line red.

Does that work for you?

Yeah that could work, how would I go about doing that?

I'm not quite sure what you are referring to as the buffer value.
Further, what you do consider bearish or bullish? Do you mean the current bar's value is greater than the previous bar's value for bullish and the current bar's value is less than the previous bar's value for bearish?
