Indicator Description ​

SAREXT (Extended Parabolic Stop and Reverse) is an extended version of the SAR indicator, providing more flexible trend tracking and signal generation by incorporating additional parameters.

Calculation Principle ​

SAREXT is calculated using the following formulas:

Uptrend:
SAREXT(t) = SAREXT(t-1) + acceleration * (EP - SAREXT(t-1))
Downtrend:
SAREXT(t) = SAREXT(t-1) - acceleration * (SAREXT(t-1) - EP)

Where:

  • EP (Extreme Point) is the extreme point in the trend
  • acceleration is the acceleration factor, using different initial and maximum values based on trend direction
  • The offsetonreverse parameter can be used to adjust the offset during reversals

Usage Scenarios ​

  1. Trend identification and tracking
  2. Stop-loss level setting
  3. Trend reversal confirmation
  4. Trading signal generation

Usage Recommendations ​

  1. Adjust parameters based on market volatility
  2. Use in combination with other technical indicators
  3. Monitor SAREXT point breakthroughs
  4. Pay attention to market trend changes
