Parabolic m Trail LX

Parabolic m Trail LX places a long exit order according to a Parabolic calculation.

When a long position is entered, Parabolic m Trail LX generates a stop order at the low of the current bar minus the average true range of the number of bars specified in ATRLength input and multiplied by the value specified in NumATRs input. The parabolic calculations are run on each of the consecutive bars and a new stop order is generated.

Parabolic SAR determines stop and reverse (SAR) points and may be used to define when the position should be reversed and a trade in the opposite direction should be taken. During the calculation, the parabolic curve crosses over and under the price. When the parabolic curve goes below the current prices the market is considered bullish, and when the curve crosses above the current prices, it may indicate a down trend.

This signal generates a long exit only. Use Parabolic m Trail SX for exiting from a short position.
