Anyone Using Supertrend for Crypto Entries? Let’s Compare Notes 📈

[Belin]

However, I agree that it struggles a bit in sideways conditions. The lack of noise is great when the market is trending, but in choppy markets, it can give false signals.


I’ve been combining Supertrend with RSI for confirmation, and I’ve seen it improve the accuracy of entries and exits. I haven’t yet experimented much with MACD or volume spikes, but I’m curious if they would add more reliability in trend-following setups.


As for settings, I’ve adjusted them slightly depending on the asset and timeframe. I typically use a slightly longer ATR period (like 10, 3), and it’s been working well in markets with less volatility. Would be great to compare notes on how others are tuning these settings.

The Supertrend Indicator appears to be a solid tool for capturing breakouts, especially when the market exhibits clear trends. It offers a streamlined approach with its use of ATR and price action, which minimizes complexity and provides clear visual cues.


From your observations, it's clear that the indicator performs well for mid-cap altcoins such as LINK, ARB, and APT, particularly on higher timeframes like the 4H and daily. Its effectiveness in trend-following is evident, although its performance diminishes in sideways conditions, which aligns with the limitations of trend-following indicators in non-trending markets.


The Supertrend’s ability to provide precise exit signals on reversals is a strong point, potentially outperforming traditional EMA crossovers, which can sometimes produce lagging signals. This feature is especially valuable in volatile markets where timely exits can help mitigate risk.

Supertrend Indicator too and gotta say, it’s been a pretty solid tool when the market’s behaving. It’s like having a nice, clean traffic light on your charts green go, red stop. No clutter, just a clear view of where the market might be headed.


Definitely agree on the mid-caps like LINK and APT – they seem to react well to it. Sideways markets though yeah, it’s like trying to find a clean line in a messy scribble.


I’ve been combining it with RSI for a bit of extra confirmation. It’s like having a second opinion on your trade setup a little extra peace of mind. Haven’t tried adjusting the settings too much yet, but might give it a go and see if it improves the results. Always down to swap some ideas and setups to see what works best!

Been testing out the Supertrend Indicator lately across a few altcoin pairs (mainly on the 4H and daily timeframes), and I’m honestly impressed with how well it catches breakouts — when the market isn’t too choppy.

For those not familiar, it’s a trend-following indicator that combines ATR (Average True Range) and price action. Super clean visual: green = buy zone, red = sell zone. No noise, no complicated setups.

What I’m finding:

• Works surprisingly well for mid-cap alts like LINK, ARB, and APT
• Less reliable in sideways conditions (as expected)
• Gives really solid exit signals on reversals — arguably better than EMA crossovers imo

But I’m curious — anyone here use Supertrend as part of a larger strategy?Maybe combining it with:

• RSI for confirmation
• MACD or volume spikes
• On-chain whale alerts?

Would love to swap some entry/exit setups or even chart screenshots if you’re down.
Also, if anyone has tuned the settings beyond the standard (7, 3) — how’s that working for you?

Let’s optimize together

Supertrend’s like that friend who’s chill until stuff actually happens — then suddenly knows all the exits.
Pair it with RSI or whale alerts and boom, you’re basically trading with a sixth sense and a spy in the whales' group chat.

Supertrend’s like that friend who’s great at parties… until things get awkward and sideways.
Solid for clean breakouts, but pair it with RSI or volume or you’ll get ghosted mid-trade when the chop hits.

I’ve been trying out Supertrend too, but I’m getting concerned about how unreliable it can be in choppy markets. Might need to pair it with something like RSI for confirmation, but still trying to fine-tune my strategy.
