The main difference between Trend Pullback Reversal TPR indicator and Supertrend indicator

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.
