Parabolic SAR (Stop and Reverse) – FX Replay

The Parabolic SAR (Stop and Reverse) indicator in FX Replay helps you visually track trend direction and potential reversals during backtesting. It's represented by a series of dots that shift positions based on price action.

How to Use It in FX Replay:

Trend Identification:

  • Dots below price = Uptrend
  • Dots above price = Downtrend

Entry Signals:

  • Buy when the dots flip below the price
  • Sell when the dots flip above the price

Exit Strategy:

  • In a long trade, exit when dots flip above the price
  • In a short trade, exit when dots flip below the price

Spot Reversals:

  • When SAR flips from above to below or vice versa, it can signal a potential reversal

Optimize Settings:

  • Tweak the Acceleration Factor (AF) and Max Acceleration in FX Replay to make SAR more or less responsive to price swings

Best Practices:

  • Works best in trending markets
  • Combine with structure, volume, or confirmation indicators to improve your edge
