Using Supertrend as stop loss

  Guys, how should I use a value in supertrend as initial stop loss?

  I don’t wanna close the order when close crosses over/under it, what I want is to use the value of Supertrend (or a moving average) at the bar of opening order as a level for stop loss.

  A the time you open an order, calculate the stoploss size by substracting the supertrend to the current Close:

  if condition then buy at market stoploss = close-supertrend[3,10] set stop loss stoploss endif

  1 2 3 4 5

  if condition then buy at market stoploss = close-supertrend[3,10] set stop loss stoploss endif

  (for a buy order, considering the Supertrend is below the price).
