Do you have the formula of the supertrend indicator in another program language? how it looks like? (I saw a lot of versions)

I have been working with this one (link) for years.
The formula/variables are in english.
The explanations are in german.
Maybe you can use a translator like google or babelfish.

After you add the indicator, right click on a chart then add the following formula: (Let me know if this is what you were looking for)

s1 = supertrend(10, 3);
plot(absolute(s1), "", colorRed);
UpdateColor(s1 < 0, colorDarkGreen);


Indicator:

VectorD volaValue = TA.Atr(Period);
VectorD avgValue = TA.MedPrice();

VectorD upperValue = cFunctions.CreateNumericVector();
VectorD lowerValue = cFunctions.CreateNumericVector();
VectorD trendFlag = cFunctions.CreateNumericVector();
VectorD flagValue1 = cFunctions.CreateNumericVector();
VectorD flagValue2 = cFunctions.CreateNumericVector();
VectorD close = cFunctions.Close;
double lastTrendValue = 0;

for(int i=1;i < result.Length;i++)
{
upperValue[i] = avgValue[i] + ( Factor[i] * volaValue[i] );
lowerValue[i] = avgValue[i] - ( Factor[i] * volaValue[i] );

if(i == 0)
{
continue;
}


if(close[i] > upperValue[i - 1])
{
lastTrendValue = 1;
}

if(close[i] < lowerValue[i - 1])
{
lastTrendValue = -1;
}

trendFlag[i] = lastTrendValue;

if(trendFlag[i] < 0 && trendFlag[i - 1] > 0)
{
flagValue1[i] = 1;
}
else
{
flagValue1[i] = 0;
}

if(trendFlag[i] > 0 && trendFlag[i - 1] < 0)
{
flagValue2[i] = 1;
}
else
{
flagValue2[i] = 0;
}

if(trendFlag[i] > 0 && lowerValue[i] < lowerValue[i - 1])
{
lowerValue[i] = lowerValue[i - 1];
}

if(trendFlag[i] < 0 && upperValue[i] > upperValue[i - 1])
{
upperValue[i] = upperValue[i - 1];
}

if(flagValue1[i] == 1)
{
upperValue[i] = avgValue[i] + ( Factor[i] * volaValue[i] );
}

if(flagValue2[i] == 1)
{
lowerValue[i] = avgValue[i] - ( Factor[i] * volaValue[i] );
}

if(trendFlag[i] == 1)
{
result[i] = -lowerValue[i];
}
else
{
result[i] = upperValue[i];
}
}

I tested it here and I am getting the right indicator (picture 2)

I forget to tell you to add 2 parameters: (Period and Factor)

OK. Once again something with my charts.
When using a new one, it works fine.

Well done!
Thanks.

Sorry.
The indicator changes its style by changing time frame or factor of vola

The green line is displayed when a certain condition is met. Otherwise only the red line is shown. It is normal that decreasing the Factor will result in more signals and thus displaying the green line.

Sorry, but this is not right.
The supertrend must work in all timeframes and with all factors of vola.

Change the following line:

for(int i=0;i < result.Length;i++)

to

for(int i=1;i < result.Length;i++)
