I tested the strategy version of this indicator on Bitstamp:BTCUSD and compared the results to the Parabolic SAR. I changed the settings on both indicators to achieve the best results on each indicator. This indicator outperformed the Parabolic SAR by a large margin.
You need to calibrate the indicator depending on the asset and time frame. It works best in trending markets.
