Hey Guy's,

I am looking to use the SUPERTREND Indicator Study and want to have my Buy/Sell Entries & Buy/Sell Exit Stops be Automatic when a Price Bar Closes above or below the SUPERTREND Indicator Lines... This would take my emotions out of the deal and let my trading rules do the work! What is the easiest way to do this? Also is there a way to set a LIMIT Target or trailing stops?

I have an email alert that lets me know to enter, but I am not at the PC to enter the trades!

Any other way than spreadsheets ect...

Does anyone have a sample spreadsheet they can sent to me to review on how to set up this indicator crossover entry and stop exits?

If you are using the SuperTrend Stop study, try this for entries on the Spreadsheet System for Trading study's spreadsheet:

Put this in K3:
=AND(AA4>E4,E3>AA4)

Put this in M3:
=AND(AA4<E4,E3<AA4)

Exits can be handled by setting Support Reversals to Yes, with no formulas in L3 and N3. There are other settings you may also want to set to Yes.

This assumes the SuperTrend Stop study outputs to column AA. If the study is at the top of the Studies to Graph list, it will be.

Here are some tips on spreadsheet studies:

1. Never getting audio alerts from Trading Spreadsheet with SuperTrend columns K and M. Chart is printed correctly. But no sounds.
2. Any way to get SuperTrend study to emit alerts? I've tried this with no results.
=or(sg4<>0,or(sg2<>0,or(sg1<>0,sg3<>0)))
Help appreciated. Thanks.

Please ignore previous request. I've figured out a way to have SuperTrend issue alerts by using the Color Bar Based on Alert Study.

I coded this with =id25.sg1<>id25.sg1[-1] (ID25 is my SuperTrend Study)

Generates a few extra alerts so far - but better than nothing.

Am exploring this indicator with the following inputs as posted by tomgilb.

K3:
=AND(AA4>E4,E3>AA4)

M3:
=AND(AA4<E4,E3<AA4)

support reversal is set to yes. If I manually entered short, will the spreadsheet reverse my position when the trend switches to long? I have followed the auto trading spreadsheet procedures and have the correct settings in study.
