No, it's a PSAR. It's just a "nuanced" PSAR, you might say.
Thanks, I'll have to do that sometime.
Thanks, I'll have to look into it at some point.
Do it at your leisure :-)
It is quite interesting - all such SARs (stop-and-reverse and convergence towards price) are stationary, in the sense that they do not depend on the choice of the starting point. Even if the level from which the segment starts is not taken from the previous top, but just N points from the price crossing.
If you take two such SARs that have the same rules but different starting points, after several iterations they converge and show the same points.

It's quite curious .....
If you take two such SARs that have the same rules but different start times, after a few iterations they converge and show the same times.
The main interest is the process of "convergence" and how the switching points of the SAR segments change. They literally "drift", they are washed to the centre, to places where they are useless as trading signals.
if we take into account that SAR is a de facto visualisation of trading algorithms, then everything is very funny...with far-reaching conclusions:
any(*) "shifter" trading algorithm (buy-sell-buy-always_in_the_market), will converge to the state when P(win)=P(loss) regardless of initial momentum and setup options.
This is confirmed by a lot of tests :-) the robot is optimised, started and after some time the moments of entries turn into 50/50.
*) may not be any...it seems that this is already a real vysh-mat and types of symmetry.
I found this indicator in my Metatrader (attached).
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I've missed programming the indicators a bit and I'm not very comfortable with them,
I'll try to modify the indicator so that it can be used on 2 or even 3 TimeFrames,
And then I'm going to read this article you mention which will help me a little to improve my programming and I'll come back to it on this post.
That your posts are all over the place and it's a bit of a spider's web I think they're being updated because the dates don't match up I'm going to try to untangle that slowly I'm interested in it

tks Sergey Golubev for all your work, energy and sharing,
I'm slowly studying the code for the EA PriceChannel Parabolic system_v1.1.mq5, We'd like to see something different from my work and go a little deeper into programming.
What is the logic, the Setup for entering position if you can explain it to me, and discuss and why not try to improve it?
I'll take a look at the code right now 😊,
Best Reguards,

It is old thread, and I was not coder of this EA. I just made an idea about this trading system and traded it manually on demo and live (in real account) to estimate the rules for this trading system. Because there are raw ideas, and there are the developed idea (to code). So, this trading system is developed ideas (the rules of this system were defined by manual trading).
When the EA was created (by several versions) - I tested this EA to find the optimal settings, after that - traded it on demo and in live accounts.
But it was more than 10 years ago ...

Parabolic SAR indicator

The Parafrac V2 Oscillator: Integrating Parabolic SAR with Average True Range
The proliferation of technical indicators often leads to chart congestion and analysis paralysis for traders. This article introduces the Parafrac V2 Oscillator, an evolved technical analysis tool engineered through the synthesis of the Parabolic SAR (Stop and Reverse) and the Average True Range (ATR) indicators. This new oscillator addresses a critical limitation observed in its predecessor, the Parafrac Oscillator, which combined Parabolic SAR with Fractal indicators, where extreme, single-bar price spikes could generate anomalous and misleading signals.
By substituting the Fractal component with the ATR, a well-established measure of market volatility, the Parafrac V2 provides a more robust and smoothed mechanism for identifying trend dynamics, potential reversal zones, and bullish/bearish divergences. This paper delineates the theoretical foundation of the composite indicators, justifies the methodological shift from Fractals to ATR, and provides a framework for traders to develop and calibrate proprietary trading signals based on this novel oscillator.
