SuperTrend is the trend indicator most retail traders cycle through three or four versions of before settling. The free options on NinjaTrader all repaint, lack ADX filtering, or default to integer-only multipliers that miss the 1.5 / 2.5 sweet spots traders actually want. This one fixes all of that. Bar-close no-repaint is the default. ADX whipsaw filtering is built in. Decimal multipliers work out of the box. The trend duration label sits next to the line and shows exactly how many bars the trend has been running, the line price, distance from current price, and the % move since the flip — all inline. Per-direction line styling lets you set bullish and bearish color, thickness, and dash style independently. Free, fully audited, modern NT8 thread-safe code, built by a trader who uses it daily.
"Finally a SuperTrend that actually doesn't repaint. I've been through three other free NT8 SuperTrends and every one of them jumps around mid-bar — useless for live trading. This one nails the bar-close default and the line stays where it should. The ADX filter on top of that cuts most of the chop noise I used to ignore signals from. Decimal multipliers work too, which sounds like a small thing until you realize most of the older ports refuse 2.5. Smart inline label showing bars-since-flip and the line price right next to where the line ends is the touch I didn't know I needed — replaces a chunk of the manual chart annotation I used to do. Easily the cleanest SuperTrend on NT8 right now."
"Switched from a paid SuperTrend that cost me $90. This one has more features for free — ADX filter, the inline label, full per-direction line styling. Honestly embarrassed I paid for the other one for two years."
"Solid. The percent-since-flip in the label is genuinely useful — tells me at a glance whether the trend is doing real work or just drifting. Would love a multi-timeframe confluence option down the road but for v1 this is excellent."
"I came to NT8 from TradingView and the SuperTrend experience was honestly worse here for years. This one feels like the version Pine traders are used to but with NT8's reliability. The distance-to-line label option is a trail-stop-management dream — tells me how much room I'm giving the trade in real time without hovering or eyeballing the scale."
"Loaded it on day one and it just worked. The ADX threshold default of 0 means I see every flip out of the box, then I tune up to 20 once I figure out my preference. Sensible defaults, clean settings dialog, no bloat. Recommended."
