Dots that trail the price and speed up as a trend lasts.
The SAR starts at the last extreme and moves closer to the price every candle, faster the longer the trend runs. When price touches it, it flips.
Worked out by the same code the builder uses, on stored daily candles. Move a setting and the line moves with it. This is what happened, not what will happen.
Entry: Price close crosses above Parabolic SAR(0.02, 0.2).
Made for trends; in a sideways market it produces a stream of small losses.
