SuperTrend

CCI will trigger SuperTrend switch. The user can specifies the distance from High / Low (in pips) after switch. SuperTrend moves only in the direction of the trend. If Price Filter is On. And the price goes in the other direction, the Super Trend will hold its position. Shift Values proposed by the author, based on Chart Time Frame length in minutes.
case 1: Shift = 3; case 5: Shift = 5; case 15: Shift = 7; case 30: Shift = 9; case 60: Shift = 20; case 240: Shift = 35; case 1440: Shift = 40; case 10080: Shift = 100; case 43200: Shift = 120;

I’m a little confused since there’s so many “SuperTrend” indicators on this site… how is this one different from this SuperTrend: http://fxcodebase.com/code/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=3102&hilit=supertrend
Is it fundamentally that this new one is based on CCI while the older was based on ATR? Or is there other crucial differences?

This is an unfortunate coincidence. Unfortunately I did not gave their names. One thing is certain, their algorithms are completely different. It his case, CCI is the trigger. Line is higher / lower from High / Low, for X Pips set by user.
Your (the second) example. The trend is determined, by Midian + / - ATR

Would it be possible to create an alert for the ST indicator - ie audio, visual, email alert when colour changes?
