What is Supertrend?
Hinglish mein padhein: Supertrend indicator kya hota hai?
Supertrend is a trend-following line built from the Average True Range. Price above the line is an up phase; below it, a down phase.
Common settings are a 10-period ATR with a multiplier of 3. The line trails price and flips when price closes through it.
Many traders use it as a trailing stop-loss rather than an entry signal.
