INDICATOR
Super Alpha
A very powerful momentum indicator that generates buy and sell signals with super precision. The indicator is developed for the TradingView platform.
Description - Super Alpha v1.0 [by TC]
Description
Super Alpha by TradingCanyon is a very reliable indicator that successfully generates accurate buy and sell signals. The algorithm script is based on a momentum oscillator and volatility strategy to identify trends and reversals. The indicator can be incredibly reliable to determine the trend strength and price direction of a financial instrument.
Super Alpha generates signals for when to initiate new positions or recognizes when an existing trend is about to reverse in order to exit positions. The indicator was originally developed for long strategies (+), but it can also be used for short positions (-). Buy signal: Green triangle, up ▲ – and Exit/Sell signal: Red triangle, down ▼
The Super Alpha indicator works very well for all instrument types and time frames.
All our indicators are 100 % non-repainting indicators. (They do not change signal after the price bar is closed.)
Key benefits
- Easy to use. There is nothing more to do than install the indicator with a few clicks. You can use it either as a trading tool to identify optimal entry or exit positions or as a trading system. You don´t have to spend days studying how the indicator works before you start making profitable trades.
- Very accurate trading signals. This indicator only produces high probability trading signals, so you don’t have to chase setups that end up as losing trades.
- Less time-consuming. The indicator makes trading much less time consuming than traditional trading systems. Thus, you can spend less time in front of your computer and more time doing the things you enjoy. Just set the alerts and get a push notice or signal straight to your phone!
- No false signals. The Super Alpha indicator has a “Noise reduction”-filter to minimizes low-quality signals and avoid false trading alerts.
- High win-rate. The Super Alpha indicator has achieved very high win-rates in the backtests performed over a historical period of 24 months.

How to use
1. Use on any instrument and time frame (fine-tune Settings).
2. When ‘Buy’ signal is confirmed (Green triangle, up ▲) –> enter Long position.
3. When ‘Exit’ signal is confirmed (Red triangle, down ▼) –> exit Long position (or go Short).
4. Exit also when -> trade hits your profit target/limit or stop loss (determined by user).
IMPORTANT: Wait for candlestick close to ensure signal is a confirmed signal!
Exactly how the indicator is used varies from trader to trader. When interpreted correctly, a trader can initiate new positions in the direction of the new trend and exit before the trend reverses. It can be used as a scalping tool in shorter time frames, but also as a timing indicator for day trading or swing trading strategies.
If you use it to trade very low or high time frames, you may need to fine-tune the filter settings a bit to optimize it for your trading. This indicator has been developed to work with regular bar candles, but we also recommend you to use it with Heikin Ashi candles or Line Break bars to filter out as much noise as possible and as these often have an improved ability to capture high-quality trends.
If you are new to trading and/or technical analysis in general, we always recommend a demo account (“paper-trading”) until you become familiar with how to use the indicator.
When using the Alert function, use the “Once Per Bar Close” configuration and wait for bar close to confirm entry/exit signal. Super Alpha is a non-repainting indicator (meaning that signals do not change or disappear after bar close).
All our indicators are developed for TradingView. For more info on adding an indicator to your charts and to adjust settings, go to: How it works
Settings
The default settings for the Super Alpha indicator are optimized for use on all time frames. If you use the indicator to trade very low or high time frames, you may need to adjust the default settings a bit to optimize it for your trading style.
Each financial instrument has its own rhythm and oscillation, so if you want to optimize your trading results, you must learn to tweak the indicators to improve signal generation accuracy. You need to test different settings of the indicator as this will help you fine-tune the signals. Settings can sometimes be very personal, depending on your trading style and the timeframe used. Super Alpha is developed to obtain the most optimal settings with minimal adjustment.
Different settings may apply to different instruments and also to different market periods. A more volatile market regime may require a different approach and strategy for the same instrument. You must try to find the best settings for your strategy or stick to the default settings (optimized by the TradingCanyon team).
The default settings work for most instruments and time frames, but we suggest that you adjust (increase/decrease) the settings just a few steps to optimize the signals.
Multiplier – the multiplier input is used for the oscillator calculation and has an impact on the sensitivity in predicting the trend strength. You can play with the settings and adjust it for the instrument type you are trading.
Factor – is a constant used in the momentum calculation. You can tweak the settings a bit and adjust it for the instrument type you are trading.
Filter – the filter value can be tweaked to allow the output to better follow the underlying price. You can try to tune the settings a bit to improve signal generation or smooth signals – but in most cases you can leave the default setting as it is.
Super value – a coefficient in the calculation of the super signal (output values). Try to adjust the settings just a few steps to optimize the signals.
Noise reduction – has been implemented to filter false signals. Try to tweak the settings so that you get accurate signals for the instrument and the selected time frame. Set “Noise reduction” to somewhere between: 0 – 12 depending on time frame and instrument.
We suggest you also try these custom settings:
- close, 0.92, 1.85, 11, -2, -0.2, 10
- close, 0.51, 0.975, 11, -2, -0.2, 11
- ohlc4, 0.47, 0.975, 13, -4, -0.2, 19
Backtesting
Backtesting refers to applying a trading system to historical data in order to verify how a system would have performed during the specified time period and with the current data sample. Backtesting and optimizing provide many benefits to a trader, but this is only part of the process when creating a trading system or strategy. You also have to use forward testing and live trading.
Over the past 24 months, we have tested all our algorithms and indicators across a wide range of instruments and timeframes to ensure maximum and optimal performance. The results vary slightly, depending upon instrument type and timeframe used, but overall, the Super Alpha indicator has a very high average success ratio on all instruments tested. We have also successfully performed forward testing when developing the algorithms, posting high win-rates. During the last 12 months, we have also used the indicators ourselves when trading live, and with great results.
The Super Alpha indicator is an exceptional trading tool as it will generate fantastic trading signals for you! You can use the Free Trial to check it out.
