Описание: SuperTrend — One Line, Two Colors, and a 64% Win Rate | Strategy #9 of 300

After the most complex indicator in the series (Ichimoku Cloud), here is the simplest. The SuperTrend draws one line on your chart. Green below price = buy. Red above price = sell. Two parameters. Zero ambiguity.

This video covers how the SuperTrend calculates its line using ATR bands, why the ratchet effect makes it a superior trailing stop, the head-to-head comparison with the Parabolic SAR, step-by-step entry and exit rules, 20 years of backtest data, and the simplicity vs. complexity debate.
