Beast Super Signal Indicator: An ATR Baseline That Flips

Written by Dominic Walsh · Published 29 Jul 2026 · Last updated 21 Sep 2026

The beast super signal indicator draws a line that only moves one way. An ATR band trails price and ratchets in the direction of the move. It never gives ground until price closes through it, and that bar is the signal.

This build ships as a compiled .ex4 for MT4 and .ex5 for MT5; the screenshots below come from EURUSD H1.

Platforms	MT4 (.ex4) + MT5 (.ex5)
Chart window	Main price chart
Plots	4: Baseline Up, Baseline Down, Beast Buy, Beast Sell
Alerts	popup, push notification, email, sound
Inputs	12

Drawn output, plot by plot

`Baseline Up` runs lime while the line sits under price.

`Baseline Down` runs orange red while it caps price from above.

`Beast Buy` uses arrow 233 and `Beast Sell` uses 234 on the flip bar.

A corner panel and text labels report the current state.

• Baseline Up: line, lime, width 2
• Baseline Down: line, orange red, width 2
• Beast Buy: arrow, lime, width 3, arrow code 233
• Beast Sell: arrow, red, width 3, arrow code 234

How each value gets built

The band comes from range

iATR at `InpAtrPeriod` `10` measures recent range. `InpMult` `3.0` sets how far each band sits from the midpoint of the bar. So the band widens when the market speeds up.

The ratchet

While direction reads up, the baseline keeps the higher of the new band and the previous one. It therefore holds or rises, never falls. The bearish side mirrors that. Pullbacks that do not break it change nothing.

The flip is the signal

A close through the baseline reverses direction and fills an arrow. That test reads completed bars only, so a printed mark stays where it printed.

How to watch it

Baseline colour is the trend state, and it changes only on a flip.

Distance from price to the line shows how much room the move has.

`InpMult` `3.0` is wide, so flips are rare and each one covers ground.

Marks sit `InpArrowOffset` `48` points clear of the candle.

Alert channels in this build: popup, push notification, email and sound, one message per closed bar.

`EnableAlerts` is the parent switch and starts true alongside `EnablePopup`. Add the phone with `EnablePushNotify`, mail with `EnableEmail`, or a clip with `EnableSound` and `SoundFile`. Those three begin off. A flip reports on the closed bar.

Matching chart to settings

A three times range band is a wide stop. EURUSD H1 is the reference chart, where flips arrive every few days. On M5 the band still filters most noise. H4 and daily turn it into a position tool with very few marks.

When it will mislead you

A wide band means the flip lands well after the turn it reports.

In a range price crosses the baseline repeatedly, and each crossing costs.

The line ratchets, so it can sit far from price after a long run.

FAQ

What does InpMult 3.0 control?

How far the band sits from the midpoint of each bar, measured in range units. Three is wide, so ordinary pullbacks cannot reach it. Lowering it toward two gives earlier flips and considerably more of them.

Why does the baseline never fall in an uptrend?

Because the code keeps the higher of the new band and the previous one while direction reads up. That ratchet is what stops the line loosening during a pullback and turns it into a trailing reference.

What makes Beast Buy print?

A close through the baseline that reverses the direction state. It is the flip that matters, not the distance travelled, so one decisive close is enough while a long drift underneath is not.

Does InpAtrPeriod 10 make it fast?

It is shorter than the usual fourteen, so the band reacts sooner to a change in range. That mostly affects band width rather than flip timing, since `InpMult` is doing most of the work.

Are results guaranteed?

No. Trading involves risk. Results are not guaranteed; past performance is not indicative of future results. Use the Beast Super Signal Indicator as one input. Always backtest before trading live.
