Trend Detection
SuperTrend Bands Calculator
Enter the current bar's high, low, close, and ATR to get the SuperTrend upper and lower bands (built from the HL2 midpoint plus an ATR multiple) and a directional bias based on where the close sits relative to those bands. This gives you the core building block of the SuperTrend indicator for the current bar.
3.0 is the standard SuperTrend multiplier.

Educational tool only, not financial advice. The full SuperTrend indicator carries its bands forward bar to bar with flip logic; this calculator gives you the underlying bands for a single bar as a starting point for your own charting platform or spreadsheet. Always confirm with your own strategy.
