How This Signal Works

How the Signal Works

  • BUY (Uptrend): Price is above the SAR dot → Uptrend in progress
  • SELL (Downtrend): Price is below the SAR dot → Downtrend in progress
  • Neutral: No clear signal or insufficient data

Customization Options

AF Start (Acceleration Factor Start) – Default: 0.02
Determines how quickly the SAR reacts to price. Lower = slower; higher = more sensitive.

AF Max (Acceleration Factor Maximum) – Default: 0.2
Caps how fast the SAR can accelerate toward price.

You can tune these in the widget for your own trading strategy.

Key Takeaways

  • Use on daily timeframes for cleaner signals
  • Combine with indicators like ADX or MACD to avoid false entries in sideways markets
  • Treat SAR as a trailing stop guide — not a stand-alone entry system
