Parabolic SAR
Dots drawn below the price in an uptrend and above it in a downtrend, that speed up as the trend runs.
- What it means
- A flip of the dots to the other side marks a possible change of trend.
- What to watch
- Works best in clear trends and as a trailing stop; in sideways markets it flips constantly.
