Steemit Crypto Academy Week 5 Task: SuperTrend Indicator | lecture by @stream4u
Introduction
Hello guys,
Welcome again to another phase of the crypto Academy week. The week is filled with much outpouring of knowledge from the professor where he talked about SuperTrend Indicator. And I will be talking briefly about the assignment given concerning this very topic. I want to once again appreciate the professor in the person of @stream4u for his continuous guidance and correction.
What is A SuperTrend Indicator?
SuperTrend indicator is an indicator in form of a line that is used on an asset chart to show the price of an item on the chart. It shows when to buy and also sell an item. It is important to mention here that no one indicator is 100% efficient. Most often than know it is associated with the error. When the line is above the current price of an asset, it indicates a sell of an asset whereas whenever the line is below the current price it indicates the buy of an asset.
Below is a screenshot showing a SuperTrend line chart on an asset.

False Indications are scenario where users have to be very careful while using the SuperTrend line. Because a lot of false information may be given to you as regard buying and selling. The screenshot below shows the false indications of the SuperTrend line on the Chart.

According to your view what Stoploss you will suggest?
I will suggest that when dealing with SuperTrend, one should not be in a rush to make a transaction whether buying or selling. Recall that we discussed false but and false sell signal, hence to avoid been a victim you have to carefully check and be certain you are on the right track before making any transaction.
