did somebody mention SAR?

I've found that parabolic SAR in a choppy consolidation period is more likely to give you whiplash from a whipsaw than to make you money.

this chart of SNDK shows SAR, stocastics and MACD. Stocastics was most rewarding in the 3 month non-trending price range period. Stocastics would have gotten you out before the 15 point drop last week, while with MACD you'd just be getting a nice tax loss yesterday. SAR, not even close. MACD wold have been best used to confirm the moves indicated by stocastics.
