MTF Supertrend Basic

MTF Supertrend Basic is a trend-confirmation indicator for the ATAS analytical platform. It consolidates Supertrend direction readings from up to five timeframes into a single compact panel — eliminating the need to switch between charts during active analysis.

Key Features

• Five-timeframe panel in one chart — Supertrend directions for M1, M5, M15, H1, and H4 are displayed simultaneously on whichever chart the trader is actively working on.
• Cross-instance registry — when the indicator runs on multiple charts of the same symbol, each instance contributes its timeframe's direction to a shared in-process panel. No external data connections required.
• No aggregation, no repainting — each timeframe is calculated on its own native chart data. There are no aggregation artifacts and no repainting when historical bars reload.
• Lightweight overlay — the panel is compact and offset so it does not compete with the chart for visual space.
• HWID-based licensing — license enforcement is hardware-bound. The Basic tier runs in bypass mode and requires no license key.

How It Works

The indicator calculates a standard Supertrend on each chart instance using ATR (default period: 10) multiplied by a configurable multiplier (default: 3.0) to build the trailing band. The resulting direction — BULL or BEAR — is published into a static in-process registry, keyed by symbol and timeframe.

A second render pass reads the registry and draws the consolidated panel showing the current direction for each supported timeframe: M1, M5, M15, H1, H4. Traders load one indicator instance per timeframe they want to monitor. The panel then displays the full picture on the active chart.

Configuration Parameters

In the Basic tier, the five displayed timeframes (M1, M5, M15, H1, H4) are fixed. Pro and Ultra tiers expose configurable timeframe selection and additional readouts.

Analysis Scenarios

1. Scalping confirmation

A trader on an M1 chart can review the panel before a potential entry. If M5 and M15 both show BULL, the setup has multi-timeframe directional alignment — traders use this context to assess the setup's strength.

2. Session bias definition

Traders use H1 or H4 direction to define their analytical bias for the session. M5 and M15 direction flips, then provide data for refining the timing of entries in the same direction.

3. Counter-trend context

When the four higher timeframes indicate a direction that opposes the M1 reading, traders can identify a potential counter-trend context and adjust their analysis and position sizing accordingly.

4. Exit analysis

Traders may use an H1 direction flip while holding a position as a cue to review their stop placement or consider partial exits — without needing to monitor the H1 chart separately.
