Parabolic SAR

[darwisy]

The Parabolic Stop and Reverse (SAR) indicator combines price and time components to generate buy and sell signals. The Parabolic SAR is also effective as a tool to determine where to place stop loss orders.

The chart below of the 100 ounce Gold futures contract is a good illustration showing buy and sell signals generated by the Parabolic Stop and Reverse (SAR) technical indicator:

Parabolic SAR Buy Signal

Buy when the price closes above the upper Parabolic SAR. When the Parabolic SAR changes from being above price to below price, then the stock, futures, or currency trader should "stop" and buy to cover their existing shortsell and "reverse" direction and buy to go long.

Parabolic SAR Sell Signal

A sell signal is generated whent the price closes below the lower Parabolic SAR. At the time that the Parabolic SAR changes from being below price to being above price, the trader should "stop" and sell to exit their existing long trade and "reverse" direction and sell to go short.

One of the best uses of the Parabolic SAR is in determing where to place stop loss orders. How to place stop losses using the Parabolic SAR is discussed on the next post.

Parabolic VER 2
This is the newest adviser, based on popular indicator Parabolic SAR.

Parabolic uses Fibonacci levels and based on them, and exposes Take stop, automatically calculating the size.
Parabolic has control over the lot, pulling a trailing by necessity.
The new version Adviser trader himself sets the size of the lot - it is very convenient!
Can be used on any pair and any period.
I recommend for EURUSD for 15 min, also showed well-behaved on GBPUSD 15 min.
Can be used on different pairs at once, which gives the best result.

Stop Loss Placement Using SAR

An effective use of the Parabolic SAR is determining where to place stop loss orders to protect profits or minimize losses. The chart below of Gold illustrates stop loss placement using the Parabolic SAR indicator:

The Parabolic SAR is an effective stop loss placement tool for two reasons:

1. It acts as a trailing stop. Rather than putting in one stop loss below where a trader entered a long position or above where the trader entered a short position, using the Parabolic SAR as a trader's guide, the stop loss is gradually raised for a long position and lowered in a short position, effectively locking in any profits.
2. It acts as a time stop. Time stops are used by traders because they enter in buy or sell orders expecting a certain move to occur. If the expected move never occurs and the reason the trader initiated the trade is no longer relavent, then the trader should exit their trade. Similarly, the Parabolic SAR incorporates time into its calculation making sure a stock, future, or currency trade is working for the trader, if the trade is not moving in the desired direction, the Parabolic SAR will signal an exit.

In yet another effective technical indicator created by Welles Wilder and chronicled in his classic New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems, the Parabolic SAR gives easy to interpret buy and sell signals as well as creates an easy to follow methodology for entering stop loss orders.
