Overview

Parabolic SAR Strategy plots current and next-bar SAR levels directly on the main price chart. When the SAR flips, the strategy places stop orders to reverse positions from long to short or vice versa. Inputs allow configuration of the start step, increment step, and maximum acceleration factor. Note that the strategy does not include explicit hard stop losses or profit targets beyond position reversal.
