Any math people here? How to calculate parabolic SAR given an input data array? OK: SAR(i) = SAR(i-1)+ACCELERATION*(EPRICE(i-1)-SAR(i-1)) Where: SAR(i-1) â is the value of the indicator on the previous bar; ACCELERATION â is the acceleration factor; EPRICE(i-1) â is the highest (lowest) price for the previous period (EPRICE=HIGH for long positions and EPRICE=LOW for short positions). The question is what to take as SAR(initial) ? Tradingboy
Thanks! Thats what I suspected. N periods back - meaning set N as a parameter? Or if I have N point size data array, this has to be the first element available? Tradingboy
