The SuperTrend Bulls Eye is revolutionizing how traders approach trend-following strategies. As the world’s first self-optimizing SuperTrend indicator, it automatically identifies the best parameter settings across any market, time frame, or chart type—eliminating guesswork and maximizing performance.
Unlike traditional indicators that rely on fixed inputs, SuperTrend Bulls Eye dynamically adapts to current market conditions using intelligent backtesting and real-time optimization. It also introduces Generation 3 Scanning, a breakthrough capability that not only detects entry signals but simultaneously discovers the most profitable settings for each asset.
To fully appreciate this innovation, let’s first revisit the foundation: the original SuperTrend indicator.
Understanding the Original SuperTrend Indicator
SuperTrend is one of the most widely used technical analysis tools for trend identification and reversal detection. Created by French trader Olivier Seban in his book Everybody Deserves to be Rich, it has become a staple among traders seeking reliable, rule-based systems.
At its core, SuperTrend follows a simple logic:
👉 Discover how top traders use dynamic trend signals to boost performance.
“When the trend reverses upward, go long with a trailing stop. When it reverses downward, go short with a trailing stop.”
This creates an “always-in-the-market” (AITM) strategy—meaning the indicator never sits out. Instead, it continuously flips between long and short positions whenever price crosses the trailing stop line.
On charts, green triangles signal long entries; red triangles indicate short entries. Each signal comes with an active trailing stop, ensuring risk is managed automatically.
Core Parameters: Period and Multiplier
SuperTrend uses just two adjustable parameters:
- Period: Determines the lookback window for calculating the Average True Range (ATR), a volatility measure.
- Multiplier: Sets how many times the ATR value the stop should trail behind price.
For example, with a 14-period ATR and a multiplier of 2, the stop trails by twice the current ATR value.
While simple, this setup presents a challenge: optimal settings vary drastically across assets and time frames. What works on EUR/USD daily charts may fail on Bitcoin hourly data.
Why SuperTrend Bulls Eye Is a Game-Changer
Manually testing countless parameter combinations is time-consuming and inefficient. That’s where SuperTrend Bulls Eye steps in—with automated optimization and performance analytics built directly into the indicator.
Key Features at a Glance

Win Rate and Performance Dashboard
Regardless of platform, SuperTrend Bulls Eye shows critical trading metrics including:
- Input settings used (Period & Multiplier)
- Profit Factor
- Total PnL (in ticks or currency)
- Number and profitability of long vs. short trades
- Average trade duration
- Backtest start date
These insights help traders assess signal reliability and avoid overfitting.
Generation 3 Scanning: Smarter Market Discovery
Traditional scanners detect signals based on fixed parameters. SuperTrend Bulls Eye goes further—it self-optimizes during the scan, delivering signals generated from the best-performing settings for each symbol.
This means you're not just finding any signal—you're finding the best possible signal under optimal conditions.
Platform-Specific Scanning Capabilities
- NinjaTrader 8 & MotiveWave: Run full study-based scans with auto-optimized parameters and performance filters.
- ThinkOrSwim: Use pre-built scan queries for Buy, Sell, and ProfitFactor to filter high-performance assets.
- TradingView: Leverage free screeners to identify symbols where SuperTrend Bulls Eye performs exceptionally well.
You can even sort results by Profit Factor, allowing you to focus only on instruments with proven track records.
Seamless Integration Across Trading Platforms
SuperTrend Bulls Eye isn’t just powerful—it’s flexible. It integrates deeply with popular platforms and third-party tools.

Customizing Your Strategy: Manual vs. Optimized Mode
Users can choose between two operational modes:
Manual Mode
Disable optimization to use fixed parameters. Ideal if you prefer consistency or are testing specific strategies.
Optimization Mode
Let the indicator find the best settings automatically. You define the search range:
- Start/End Values: Define min/max for Period, Multiplier, or Trail Stop %
- Increment Step: Control granularity (e.g., test every 0.5 or whole number)
For example:
- Test Multiplier from 1 to 4 (step: 0.5) → Tests: 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, ..., 4.0
- Test ATR Period from 5 to 45 (step: 5) → Tests: 5, 10, 15, ..., 45
The system evaluates every combination and selects the highest-performing set.
Advanced Feature: Percent Trailing Mode
Beyond classic ATR-based stops, SuperTrend Bulls Eye offers Percent Trailing Mode, replacing volatility-based stops with fixed percentage trailing stops.
In this mode:
- Entry signals remain based on standard SuperTrend logic
- Exits are triggered when price moves against the position by a user-defined percent
- Optimization adjusts accordingly to reflect this new exit strategy
This provides greater control in low-volatility environments or for traders who prefer consistent risk exposure.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can SuperTrend Bulls Eye work on all financial markets?
A: Yes. It’s designed for stocks, forex, crypto, futures, and indices—across any time frame.
Q: Does it repaint or lag significantly?
A: No. Signals are calculated in real-time without repainting. Delays are minimal and typical of any ATR-based system.
Q: Is coding knowledge required to use it?
A: Not at all. The interface is user-friendly across all platforms.
Q: How often should I re-optimize?
A: For auto-enabled versions, optimization happens automatically on reload. For manual setups, weekly review is recommended.
Q: Can I use it in automated trading strategies?
A: Absolutely. With full API and plot exposure, it integrates smoothly into algorithmic systems via Strategy Builder, PineScript, or custom bots.
Q: What makes Generation 3 Scanning different from regular scanning?
A: Traditional scanners use static rules. Generation 3 dynamically optimizes parameters during the scan—delivering smarter, higher-quality signals.
