	Incredible Charts: Parabolic SAR - Construction
		On day 1 of a new trade (the day that the trade is entered), the Parabolic SAR is taken as the significant point from the previous trade.
		Parabolic SAR is never moved within the range of the current or previous day (highest High to lowest Low over the 2 days).
		Repeat the Parabolic SAR calculation for each subsequent day, adjusting the Acceleration Factor whenever a new extreme point is recorded.

	Parabolic SAR - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Technical analysis, Parabolic SAR (SAR - stop and reverse) is a method devised by J. Welles Wilder, Jr, to find trends in market prices or securities.
		It may be used as a trailing stop loss based on prices tending to stay within a parabolic curve during a strong trend.
		The concept draws on the idea that time is an enemy, and unless a security can continue to generate more profits over time, it should be liquidated.

		The purpose of the Parabolic is to allow room for movement during the initial stages of a trade, but close in with progressively tighter stop-loss points as the trade develops.
		Once a Parabolic SAR is reached, the current position is liquidated and a new position in the opposite direction is taken.
		Often, 2 to 3 consecutive bars with a declining distance between price and the parabolic indicates a sufficient weakening in the current trend to close a position before the parabolic is actually reached.

		For each time period take the difference between the low of the period and the SAR for the period and multiply this number by the AF and subtract this total from the SAR for the period and this will be the SAR for the next trading period.

		The basic premise of the Parabolic SAR is to create a trailing stop that is at first far enough away from the initial buy so that retracements in the early stages of the trend do not stop you out of your position.
		Many times as the SAR hugs the price curve, it is penetrated by a price bar by a small amount, causing the SAR to generate an opposite signal.
		The initial stop loss for the SAR after a buy signal is set at the lowest low encountered while in the previous sell signal or after a sell signal at the highest high encountered while in the previous buy signal.

	Introduction to the Parabolic SAR
		The 'parabolic SAR' is an indicator that we can safely say is a very useful and accurate tool during a trending period, but is otherwise absolutely useless.
		Sometimes called a reversal system, the Parabolic SAR allows the investor to follow the dots in either an upward or downward trend until SAR is reached and the trend reverses.
		One of the tricks of the trade is the use of stop-loss orders using the development of the SAR to lock-in profits that have been realized on paper in an upward trend.
