Good to know

SuperTrend shows the trend. Order flow shows the entry.

A trend filter keeps you on the right side, but it will not tell you where the trend is being defended or exhausted. That is what order flow does — it shows where real buyers and sellers are acting, so you can time entries instead of chasing them.
