​Super Trend is a useful technical analysis algorithm for identifying the possible trend direction and possible trading position. It works with the help of volatility in price movement.&#x20;

Two parameters, period and multiplier, are used when calculating this technical analysis algorithm. Usually the period value is 10 and the multiplier value is 3. Super Trend; It is found by subtracting the result obtained by multiplying the 10-period ATR (**Average True Range**) value by 3 from the average of the highest and lowest price in the period. (ATR is a volatility indicator that is calculated based on candle lengths and the previous close.)
