Indicators to Complement to the Parabolic SAR
In trading, it is better to have several indicators confirm a certain signal than to rely solely on one specific indicator. Complement the SAR trading signals by using other indicators such as a stochastic, moving average, or the ADX.
For example, SAR sell signals are much more convincing when the price is trading below a long-term moving average. The price below a long-term moving average suggests that the sellers are in control of the direction and that the recent SAR sell signal could be the beginning of another wave lower.
Similarly, if the price is above the moving average, focus on taking the buy signals (dots move from above to below). The SAR indicator can still be used as a stop-loss, but since the longer-term trend is up, it is not wise to take short positions.
