Double Supertrend (Python)

Double Supertrend

Double Supertrend employs two ATR‑based moving averages with different periods and multipliers. The first line sets the trade direction, while the second can act as a target or trailing exit. This combination allows flexible trend following with defined profit and risk parameters.

When price moves above both lines and the strategy is set to trade long, a position is opened. For short trades the conditions are mirrored. Exits depend on the selected take‑profit type or a percentage stop loss.
