We use the same algorithm for the TPR on all platforms, it will work exactly the same on any platform, you can also view some screenshot and videos we took from other platforms.

This is a video of how TPR indicator on NT8 performs in a relatively long-term downtrend of Forex AUDUSD 5min chart.

You may think it looks like supertrend or braintrend, right?

 

Actually, most trend indicators have similar plot, the differences are where and when they give signals.

 

Unlike other trend indicators, TPR will focus on main trend and filter out most minor price movements. The green cross-line represents an uptrend, the red cross-line represents a downtrend and the blue dots are signals for possible reversals.

The additional band and center line may look like bollinger band, but the TPR band algorithm is completely different from bollingerband. There is no standard deviation in TPR band calculation.

 

The following image is a comparision of TPR and BOLL.

 

 

The TPR band gives a possible range of the TPR movement, if TPR is outside of the band for many bars or far away from the band, it could be a sign of trend reversal.

The chart below is an example of TPR outside of band.

 

You can see how TPR reacts to price movement from the following images.
The orange and cyan dots give possible reversal signals.

 

If you are familiar with Supertrend indicator, you may think the TPR is almost the same as Supertrend. In this case, you should read the following content.

If only check the line plot from both Supertrend and TPR, it’s easier to notice that TPR may change trend ealier than supertrend, as shown in the charts below, but that’s not the main difference between them.

The most important difference bewteen TPR and supertrend is that TPR can be used as support and resistance indicator as well, not just a trend indicator.

The following 2 charts have both TPR and supertrend. The solid line is from supertrend, the cross line is TPR.

 

As you can see, the line from TPR provides a very good support and resistance level, but supertrend is far away from the price bar which cannot be used as support and resistance level at all.

In short, if you only need a trend indicator, both TPR and Supertrend will do the job.

But if you also want it to provide support and resistance level, TPR is much better than supertrend.

Comparison between Trend Pullback Reversal TPR indicator and Supertrend.

The main difference between Trend Pullback Reversal TPR indicator and Supertrend indicator is that TPR will not consider pullback as a breakout.

TPR has its unique algorithm to detect possible reversal signals in sideways.

Let’s look at some examples.

In the chart below, TPR considered it as a downtrend before the gap, but Supertrend showed it as a uptrend and give sell signal after the gap. If you were to follow Supertrend and hold a long position before the gap, you could lost a lot.

The following example shows that TPR filtered out some noises in a sideway.

The upper chart is TPR and the lower chart is Supertrend. You can see that where Supertrend gave sell signals but TPR was still in uptrend and gave a possible reversal signal after a pullback.

The reason is that Supertrend is more sensitive than TPR, so it will change trend whenever there is a breakout of its trend line, but in sometime, a pullback can also break through the trend lines. So it’s important to distinguish a pullback and a breakout.

In the charts below, supertrend changed trend 5 times, but TPR only changed once. When TPR gave a reversal signal at the pullback, supertrend gave a sell signal.
