Moving Average SAR
Updated
Hello Traders,
Today, I have brought to you an indicator that utilizes the Parabolic SAR.
To begin with, the Parabolic SAR is an indicator that trails the price in the form of a parabola, seeking out Stop And Reverse points.
The indicator I present merges the calculation formula of the Parabolic SAR with the Moving Average.
One aspect I pondered over was how to determine the starting point of this SAR. Trailing the price flow with the logic set by the moving average was fine, but the question was where to begin.
My approach involves a variable I call 'sensitiveness,' which automatically adjusts the length according to the timeframe you are observing. Using pinescript's math.ceil, I formulated:
This formula represents the length, and through variables like:
I have managed to set the risk at a level that does not impose too great a burden.
Moreover, the 'Trend Strength Parameter' allows you to choose how strongly to trail the current price.
Lastly, think of the Band Width as a margin for accepting changes in the trend. As the value increases, the Band Width expands, measured through the ATR.
This indicator is particularly useful for holding positions and implementing trailing stops. It will be especially beneficial for those interested in price tracking of trends, like with Parabolic SAR or Supertrend.
I hope you find this tool useful.
