Here is the pine script code:
//@version=4 study("Supertrend", overlay = true, format=format.price, precision=2, resolution="") Periods = input(title="ATR Period", type=input.integer, defval=10) src = input(hl2, title="Source") Multiplier = input(title="ATR Multiplier", type=input.float, step=0.1, defval=3.0) changeATR= input(title="Change ATR Calculation Method ?", type=input.bool, defval=true) showsignals = input(title="Show Buy/Sell Signals ?", type=input.bool, defval=true) highlighting = input(title="Highlighter On/Off ?", type=input.bool, defval=true) atr2 = sma(tr, Periods) atr= changeATR ? atr(Periods) : atr2 up=src-(Multiplier*atr) up1 = nz(up[1],up) up := close[1] > up1 ? max(up,up1) : up dn=src+(Multiplier*atr) dn1 = nz(dn[1], dn) dn := close[1] < dn1 ? min(dn, dn1) : dn trend = 1 trend := nz(trend[1], trend) trend := trend == -1 and close > dn1 ? 1 : trend == 1 and close < up1 ? -1 : trend upPlot = plot(trend == 1 ? up : na, title="Up Trend", style=plot.style_linebr, linewidth=2, color=color.green) buySignal = trend == 1 and trend[1] == -1 plotshape(buySignal ? up : na, title="UpTrend Begins", location=location.absolute, style=shape.circle, size=size.tiny, color=color.green, transp=0) plotshape(buySignal and showsignals ? up : na, title="Buy", text="Buy", location=location.absolute, style=shape.labelup, size=size.tiny, color=color.green, textcolor=color.white, transp=0) dnPlot = plot(trend == 1 ? na : dn, title="Down Trend", style=plot.style_linebr, linewidth=2, color=color.red) sellSignal = trend == -1 and trend[1] == 1 plotshape(sellSignal ? dn : na, title="DownTrend Begins", location=location.absolute, style=shape.circle, size=size.tiny, color=color.red, transp=0) plotshape(sellSignal and showsignals ? dn : na, title="Sell", text="Sell", location=location.absolute, style=shape.labeldown, size=size.tiny, color=color.red, textcolor=color.white, transp=0) mPlot = plot(ohlc4, title="", style=plot.style_circles, linewidth=0) longFillColor = highlighting ?
