Strategy Coming soon

Pure SuperTrend

One order each time the trend flips, in the direction the trend is pointing. No ladder, no averaging — every order lives or dies on its own take-profit and its own stop.

The idea

Ride the long trends. Take the profit when they turn.

The other strategies defend a position by adding to it. This one does the opposite — it takes a single position in the direction of the trend and lets it run. The aim is to be in the market only while a real trend is under way, and to capture as much of it as possible before the turn.

Every order is the same size. There is no capital pool and no compounding, so what each order risks is exactly what you set.

How it behaves

The rules, in order.

Entry
One order each time the SuperTrend flips, in the trend’s direction. You choose which flips to take: long on green only, short on red only, or both.
Order value
Every order is the same size. No capital pool, no compounding — each order’s risk is exactly what you configured.
Entry gate
Optional, and the setting that matters most. Require the trend to hold the same direction for a number of candles and to have moved a minimum percentage before committing. This filters out flat markets and short false flips. A flip that reverses during the wait is skipped, not taken late.
Signal source
The SuperTrend direction is read from a candle interval you choose, together with a factor and ATR length. Coarser candles mean fewer, longer trades. Orders execute against the live market price — the candle setting decides the trend only.
Exit rules

Three ways out, and three ways to protect the downside.

Because there is no ladder to fall back on, the exit rules are what shape this strategy. Each order carries its own.

Taking profit

Fixed target
A percentage target placed as a limit order on the exchange. It fills the moment price reaches it, with no dependence on our systems being awake.
Target, then trail
Arms at the target, then follows the move and closes on a retracement. Executed as a market order, because the bot is tracking price rather than resting an order.
Hold to reversal
Stay in until the SuperTrend turns, then close. This captures the most of a long trend — and accepts that the exit may land in profit or in loss.

Stopping a loss

Fixed stop
A percentage of order value. Simple, predictable, and known before the order is placed.
Trailing stop
Follows the position as it moves in your favour, protecting gains already made rather than only the original entry.
Stop or reversal
Whichever comes first — the fixed stop, or the trend turning against the position.
Worked example

Why the gate matters.

Gate set to: trend held for 3 candles and moved at least 1%

  1. The SuperTrend flips green. Without a gate the bot would buy immediately.
  2. With the gate, it waits. The trend must stay green for three candles and price must have travelled at least 1%.
  3. A brief flip that reverses inside those three candles is skipped entirely — not entered late, which is the difference that matters.
  4. A trend that holds passes the gate, the order opens, and it runs to its take-profit or until the trend reverses.

Illustrative only. A tighter gate means fewer trades; a looser one means more entries, including some that turn out to be false starts.
