Parabolic SAR rules in EL

Postby Automeq » 22 Nov 2017

Any place where I can check the rules of Parabolic SAR, specifically when the previous bar Parabolic is violated and a new Parabolic is calculated ?

I know that this is in extreme past range of Hi-Lo of previous bars (it's easy to see that visually) but there is any link to read specific rules, preferably in easy language ?

You can always open the code and read the logic.

If you need specific help, please give specific examples.

The code of Parabolic SAR doesn't show how the indicator is calculated

Code: Select all

inputs: AfStep( 0.02), AfLimit( 0.2 ) ;
variables: var0( 0 ), var1( 0 ), var2( 0 ), var3( 0 ), var4( "" ) ;

Value1 = ParabolicSAR( AfStep, AfLimit, var0, var1, var2, var3 ) ;

Plot1( var0, "ParCl" ) ;


if var3 = 1 then
Alert( "Bullish reversal" )
else if var3 = -1 then
Alert( "Bearish reversal" ) ;
Whenever the previous bar Parabolic is violated, the trend is changed and a new value is plotted under/over the price. That corresponds to the last relevant low/high before that event. It could be 1 bar ago, it could be 6, it could be 50. Whatever.

That's what I would like to see in easy language: the way of determining what is the last relevant high/low and then how it increases/decreases.

Damm it. The mechanics is in the function and not in the indicator. Sorry about this. I'll have a look.
