Parabolic SAR is an excellent indicator, often among the first to give good entry and exit signals. It tests better than most indicators in Metastock, too. Achelis seems to be a fan of it, from what he says in "TA from A to Z" (that it "provides excellent exit points"). The calculation of SAR is explained in Wilder's "New Concepts In Technical Trading Systems." I don't know how effective it would have been during the market's recent gyrations. Probably not very. Like most indicators, it would be more effective when there are clear, sustained trends. Most indicators are always a step behind candlesticks in signaling changes in trend, as Monty will affirm.
