Finish creating the standard Supertrend Indicator
14 Dec 2024, 09:54


The standard Supertrend indicator does not allow you to change the line style, it is permanently Dots which is useless.  If you are only going to allow one line style please adopt the solid line.  Better still allow the full range.  It seems a very strange decision to just allow Dots on such an important and valuable indicator.

Don't hold your breath waiting. They did it as dots because of the limitations of their system. 

While Spotware may implement a SuperTrend as a line with one color, unless they use the dots, they can't do up/down colors easily. I suspect they chose to do dots instead of a one color line since the ST usually has an “up” and “down” color. 

I agree with you that dots are pointless, which is why I wrote my own ST to have colored lines.
