What is SAR parabolique?

Le SAR parabolique (Parabolic SAR) est un indicateur de tendance utilisé en analyse technique. Il aide les traders à identifier les points d'entrée et de sortie potentiels en analysant la dynamique des prix, la direction de la tendance ou la volatilité.

Signal Types

Bullish Reversal

Occurs when the dots flip from being above the price to below the price, suggesting a new upward trend.

Bearish Reversal

Occurs when the dots flip from being below the price to above the price, suggesting a new downward trend.

Trailing Stop Level

The current position of the dot acts as a dynamic stop-loss level that moves closer to the price as the trend matures.

FAQ

Why does Parabolic SAR perform poorly in sideways markets?

Because it is a trend-following indicator designed to capture directional moves; in a range, the price frequently hits the dots, causing constant false reversals (whipsaws).

What happens if I increase the 'Step' parameter?

Increasing the step makes the indicator more sensitive to price changes, causing the dots to follow the price more closely and flip more frequently.

Can Parabolic SAR be used as a standalone strategy?

While possible, it is not recommended. It is best paired with trend-strength indicators like ADX or volume oscillators to filter out low-conviction signals.
