“I use a long-term Supertrend…”

Feedback in:

Hello,

I am a 20-year-old from Vietnam.

I am truly fascinated and enjoy reading the book Trend Following. Although I have not yet been able to fully apply it to my business, I am confident that the method is highly effective.

If you happen to read this message, I would like to ask if the method I am developing is truly aligned with the trend following approach.

Here is my method:

1. Identifying the main trend on the daily chart (1D): I use a long-term Supertrend (ATR Period: 14, Multiplier: 3) and a short-term Supertrend (ATR Period: 7, Multiplier: 2) to identify the main trend.

Enter a buy order when both Supertrends (long-term and short-term) show a bullish signal (green).

Enter a sell order when both Supertrends show a bearish signal (red).

2. Identifying Entry Points on the 4-Hour Chart (4H): I use both the long-term and short-term Supertrend on the 4H chart to confirm entry signals.

Enter a buy order when both Supertrends on the 4H chart show a bullish signal (green).

Enter a sell order when both Supertrends show a bearish signal (red).

3. Risk Management (SL and TP):

SL (Stop Loss): Place the stop loss below or above the short-term Supertrend on the 4H chart, depending on the type of order.

TP (Take Profit): Take profit when the price crosses the short-term Supertrend on the 1D chart. This signal suggests a potential reversal or slowdown of the trend.

Thank you.
