The bars
The SAR
The trend is up. The SAR is at 2,290.75, below the last close of 2,319.40; for the next bar it moves to 2,293.66.
- When it turned
- It turned 9 bars ago.
- As a trailing stop
- A long would exit if the next bar trades down to 2,293.66, 25.74 from the close. Each bar the stop now closes 4% of the gap to the high of 2,363.50.
- Read it with care
- The SAR is always in a trade, long or short, so in a sideways market it turns often and many turns are small losses.

Education only, not investment advice. The answer comes from the numbers you typed in, not from your account or the market. Simulated results are hypothetical and have limits: real trading has slippage, gaps, changing results and emotions. Trading leveraged products can lose money quickly, including all of it. Risk warning
Educational only, not financial advice; trading involves risk.
A stop that speeds up
J. Welles Wilder's parabolic SAR ("stop and reverse") starts a stop away from the price and moves it toward the trend's extreme each bar. Every new high in an up trend, or new low in a down trend, makes it move faster, up to the maximum step. When a bar trades through it, the trend flips and the stop jumps to the other side.
A smaller step gives the trade more room and turns later; a bigger one locks in more and turns sooner. Compare it with the Supertrend calculator and the trailing stop calculator, and size the trade with the position size calculator.
Not advice. Arithmetic on the bars you type; a trend that held is not a promise that it will.
