SuperTrend MT5 is one of the most popular trend-following indicators used by traders worldwide. If you enjoy using the SuperTrend indicator on TradingView but execute your trades on MetaTrader 5 (MT5), this version is designed specifically for you.
This indicator has been converted from the original SuperTrend indicator on TradingView to MetaTrader 5, allowing MT5 users to experience a nearly identical visual appearance and trading logic without switching platforms.
What is SuperTrend MT5?
SuperTrend is a trend-following technical indicator built on the Average True Range (ATR), which measures market volatility to identify the current market direction.

- Uptrends
- Downtrends
- Potential trend reversals
- Buy and Sell signals
- Dynamic Stop Loss levels
Converted from the Original TradingView SuperTrend Indicator
