For MetaTrader 4 & MetaTrader 5
Every standard Supertrend uses the same fixed ATR multiplier on a calm trend and a violent chop. That single setting is why it whipsaws you sideways and turns late on reversals. Algo Shadow Matrix fixes that at the source.
It runs a continuous Trend Quality Index — a 0-to-1 score rebuilt every bar from four independent factors — and reshapes the band width in real time. Clean trend? The bands compress and ride the move. Quality collapses? The bands widen and step aside. An asymmetric ratchet locks profit on the active side, and character-flip detection catches the turn before a full band break.
No black box. Four mechanical stages, every one computed on closed bars. The same sequence on EUR/USD M15, Bitcoin H1 or Tesla daily.
The TQI engine scores trend quality 0–1 from Efficiency Ratio, Volume Regime, Structure and Momentum — recomputed every bar.
That score bends the Supertrend band: high quality compresses it to ride the move, low quality widens it so chop can't flip you.
A trend break or early character-flip is graded by 6 confluence layers. Only signals that clear the bar print, with a 1–5 star rating.
The entry, an automatic stop-loss and TP1/TP2/TP3 are drawn instantly and tracked — the dashboard ticks each as it's hit.
"How clean is this trend, really — and what's my risk if I'm wrong?" Algo Shadow Matrix answers both, on every signal, before you click.
The 4-factor TQI reshapes the bands in real time — compressing on clean trends, widening on chop. The same settings stay sensible across symbols and timeframes.
A 6-layer confluence engine grades each signal 1–5 stars and filters out the weak ones, so what prints has real agreement behind it.
Every signal ships with an automatic stop-loss and TP1/TP2/TP3 at configurable R-multiples, with live hit-tracking on the dashboard.
A complete decision system — adaptive trend, confluence, risk and monitoring — not just a coloured line. The same engine on MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5.

A fixed multiplier can't tell a clean trend from chop. The TQI engine measures it — and reshapes the bands accordingly, every bar.
A single 0–1 score, rebuilt every bar from four independent measurements so noise in one is checked by the others:
Add the asymmetric ratchet, efficiency-weighted ATR and character-flip detection, and the bands behave like a trader, not a formula.
Every signal is graded by six layers and only prints if it clears the confluence bar — then the whole trade plan is drawn:
The entry-to-stop distance defines one R, so position sizing is arithmetic, not emotion.
Algo Shadow Matrix is fully configurable yet sensible out of the box — leave the Preset on Auto and it tunes itself to your timeframe. Here is the complete input reference, in the eight groups exactly as they appear in the settings window on both MT4 and MT5.
