## Summary

This video presents a comprehensive tutorial on using the Supertrend indicator for day trading forex, emphasizing its simplicity and effectiveness for beginners. The presenter explains the basic usage of the indicator, highlights its main drawback in ranging markets, and introduces three advanced strategies to filter signals and improve accuracy.

### Key Points

- **Introduction to Supertrend** [00:03] — Supertrend is a simple trend-following indicator that provides immediate buy or sell signals. It is based on ATR, incorporating both momentum and market volatility.
- **Basic Usage** [01:11] — The indicator is a line that switches between green and red. Green indicates a buy signal, red indicates a sell signal. The basic strategy is to take a position whenever the line changes color.
- **The Problem with Basic Strategy** [01:27] — Supertrend constantly gives signals, even in ranging markets. This forces traders to take positions when there is no trend, leading to losses. The market can be trending or ranging, and the indicator does not distinguish.
- **Strategy 1: Triple Supertrend** [02:37] — To filter signals, use three Supertrend indicators with different settings: (3,12), (1,10), and (2,11). Only take a trade when all three lines are the same color. This confirms a strong trend.
- **Exit Rules for Triple Supertrend** [03:32] — Exit a trade when the lines no longer match in color, or use a take profit or stop loss. The example shows closing a buy when the lines diverge.
- **Strategy 2: Supertrend with 200 EMA** [04:39] — Combine Supertrend with the 200 EMA to filter trades based on the longer-term trend. Only take buy signals when price is above the 200 EMA, and sell signals when price is below it.
- **Strategy 3: Supertrend with Kumo Cloud** [06:17] — Use the Kumo Cloud (Ichimoku) with only the two lead lines. Only take buy signals when price is above the cloud, and sell signals when price is below the cloud. Avoid trades when price is inside the cloud.
- **Exit Rules for Kumo Cloud Strategy** [07:53] — Exit a trade when price crosses back over the cloud, or use a take profit or stop loss. The example shows closing a position when the candle closes inside the cloud.

### Conclusion

The Supertrend indicator is a powerful tool for beginners, but it must be used with filters to avoid false signals in ranging markets. By combining it with other indicators like the 200 EMA or Kumo Cloud, traders can significantly improve their accuracy.

you can use with the super trend indicator if you're still a new trader and you want to find a very simple indicator a trend but also gives specific buy or sell
immediately then the super trend is the perfect indicator for you so a good thing about this indicator is that not only it's very simple to use but it's also a very good indicator
atr so that means the indicator generates not only based on the momentum but also the current volatility of the market and
if you have any suggestions for future videos or just questions about trading you can drop them in the comments below i'm still a small channel so i'll still have time to read and reply to all of
the comments so without further ado let's continue with the video so if you open the super trend indicator this is what it looks like a single line that switches from green to red and vice versa and how you use it is
pretty self-explanatory if the line turns green meaning you take if the line turns green meaning you take a buy position close your previous buy position and open a new cell position but
there's actually one big problem if you use the strategy this way because the super trend indicator is constantly giving out signals non-stop so when you're using this indicator there are no times where you don't take
it's either you are forced to take a buy or sell position there are no stops so this can be a huge problem because if you're a trader you need to know that the market isn't always trending the market can
also go in a range so because the super trend is constantly showing signals non-stop meaning it will also show signals when the market is on a range like in this example
you can see that the market was on an uptrend and the super trend displayed a uptrend and the super trend displayed a buy signal already ended and the market went flat but the problem
because the super trend is always giving signals it displayed a sell signal even though there wasn't any trend these range markets so that we only take signals from the
super trend if the market is actually trending this is how you do it first you need to put three super trend indicators the first indicator value you need to set it by 3 and 12.
the next one you set it as 1 and 10 and the third one you set it as 2 and 11. so the way we use the supertrend strategy is by only taking positions if all the
lines are in the same color for example in this chart we can see that the bottom line turned green but the other two lines are still red so you don't want to take positions yet
you can see at this point all the lines turned green and this is where you want to take a buy position
chart we can see that the top line turned red but the other two lines are still green so you don't want to take any positions yet next you can see all the lines are now
so this is where you want to take a cell position a lot of ways you can do this the first one is set a take profit or
so you close your position if your trade reaches a certain amount of profit or losses another way is if the color of the lines no longer matches like in this example we can see that the
color of the lines are all green so you take a by position next switches to a red color
and now that the lines no longer matches this is where you want to close your buy this is where you want to close your buy position when trading the super trend indicator is by combining it with another
indicator such as the 200 ema [Music] so because the super trend can be used to detect short to medium term trends and the 200 ema line can be used to detect longer term trend
that is why these two can be the perfect combination for this strategy i'm using the default settings of the super trend indicator this is how you trade the strategy so you only take buy signals from the super
trend when the price is above the 200 ema line and you only take sell signals from the indicator if the price is below the 200 ema line let me give you an example in this chart
we can see that the super trend gave a buy signal line so we don't want to take positions yet once the price crosses above the 200 ema line
while the super trend is still colored green that is the time where you want to green that is the time where you want to take a buy position super trend turns red let's move on to another chart
indicates a sell signal but the price is still above the 200 ema so we don't want to take positions yet now once the price is below the 200 ema
while the super trend is colored red that is where you want to take a cell that is where you want to take a cell position
so this is where you want to close your position with the super trend is with the kumo cloud so the kumo cloud
indicator that you disabled all the parts except the two lead lines and i'm also going to change the color so that it's easier to look at so now we have the komo cloud the rules
of the kumo cloud is very simple if the price is above the kumo cloud you only take buy signals and if the price is below the kumo cloud you only take cell signals but
don't take any positions let me give you an example in this chart we can see that the indicator gave a buy signal
but the price is still below the clouds so you don't want to take positions yet next you can see that the price is inside the clouds so you also don't take any positions here
next you can see that the price is above the clouds while the super trend is colored green so this is where you want to take your buy position and it's exactly the same for our sell
signal as well we only take cell positions if the price is below the clouds and the super trend is colored red
this the first one is you can set a take profit or a stop loss so you close your trade if it reaches a certain amount of profit or loss you can also close your trade if the
price crosses over the clouds like in this example you can see that the candle closed inside the clouds so you can close your inside the clouds so you can close your position here
and effective super trend strategy that is perfect for beginners and if you want more indicator secrets and strategies that no other channel teaches because we upload new strategies like this
