The​ ​Main​ ​Idea  


The​ ​SImple​ ​SAR​ ​Indicator​ ​show​ ​the​ ​trend​ ​reversal.​ ​It​ ​uses​ ​the​ ​oldest​ ​and​ ​the​ ​most​ ​reliable 
indicators​ ​ever​ ​been:​ ​moving​ ​averages​ ​and​ ​SAR.​ ​The​ ​main​ ​idea​ ​is​ ​to​ ​find,​ ​where​ ​the​ ​price​ ​is 
changing​ ​the​ ​direction​ ​globally,​ ​using​ ​Moving​ ​Average’s​ ​crossing​ ​and​ ​then​ ​find​ ​appropriate 
moment​ ​to​ ​enter​ ​the​ ​trade,​ ​using​ ​SAR. 

The​ ​simplest​ ​situation​ ​of​ ​entering​ ​the​ ​trade​ ​is​ ​show​ ​below: 

Figure​ ​1​ ​–​ ​As​ ​soon​ ​as​ ​2​ ​MAs​ ​cross,​ ​we​ ​open​ ​the​ ​trade 


 

The​ ​question​ ​is:​ ​why​ ​do​ ​we​ ​need​ ​SAR​ ​at​ ​all?​ ​We​ ​have​ ​MA​ ​cross,​ ​and​ ​this​ ​is​ ​enough? 
Unfortunately,​ ​sometimes​ ​MAs​ ​cross​ ​each​ ​other​ ​too​ ​frequently​ ​and​ ​we​ ​need​ ​to​ ​eliminate​ ​this 
noise:

Tuning​ ​The​ ​Indicator 


There​ ​are​ ​3​ ​groups​ ​of​ ​parameters​ ​which​ ​deal​ ​with​ ​strategy: 


 

Note**​ ​Signal​ ​#1​ ​is​ ​know​ ​as​ ​Super​ ​Cross​ ​Entry​ ​Now.​ ​Signal​ ​#2​ ​is​ ​know​ ​as​ ​Reverse​ ​Power​ ​Move 
Strategy. 

Red​ ​group​ ​is​ ​about​ ​MA​ ​parameters.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​standard:​ ​period,​ ​method,​ ​applied​ ​price…. 

Blue​ ​group​ ​is​ ​about​ ​SAR​ ​parameters.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​standard​ ​as​ ​well 

The​ ​most​ ​interesting​ ​is​ ​3rd​


​ ,​ ​black​ ​framed​ ​group.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​parameters​ ​for​ ​coupling​ ​together​ ​SAR​ ​and 
MA 

The​ ​parameter​ ​“Use​ ​signal​ ​type​ ​#1​ ​(MAs​ ​cross​ ​with​ ​SAR​ ​confirms)”​ ​enables​ ​MA​ ​cross​ ​plus​ ​SAR 
confirmation​ ​mode:​ ​if​ ​2​ ​MAs​ ​cross​ ​and​ ​at​ ​this​ ​moment​ ​SAR​ ​is​ ​pointing​ ​to​ ​the​ ​same​ ​direction,​ ​then 
enter​ ​the​ ​trade.​ ​Most​ ​of​ ​the​ ​situation​ ​are​ ​processed​ ​with​ ​this​ ​type​ ​of​ ​signal​ ​(see​ ​fig​ ​.1) 


 

The​ ​parameter​ ​“Use​ ​signal​ ​type​ ​#2​ ​(SAR​ ​reverses​ ​with​ ​MAs​ ​confirm)”​ ​enables​ ​mode,​ ​when​ ​SAR 
direction​ ​does​ ​not​ ​coincide​ ​with​ ​MA​ ​cross​ ​(see​ ​the​ ​fig.​ ​2).​ ​For​ ​this​ ​mode​ ​we​ ​seek​ ​for​ ​SAR​ ​reversal 
and​ ​then​ ​check​ ​how​ ​long​ ​ago​ ​the​ ​SAR​ ​cross​ ​was.​ ​We​ ​use​ ​parameter​ «​ Max​ ​distance​ ​from​ ​MA 
cross,​ ​bars​ ​»​to​ ​define​ ​how​ ​many​ ​bars​ ​back​ ​we​ ​can​ ​use​ ​in​ ​searching​ ​cross

The​ ​Tweaks  
Tweaking​ ​your​ ​indicator​ ​is​ ​critical.​ ​As​ ​you​ ​just​ ​saw​ ​there​ ​are​ ​many​ ​different​ ​tweaks​ ​you​ ​can​ ​do​ ​to 
make​ ​this​ ​indicator​ ​perform​ ​better​ ​over​ ​time. 

Here​ ​are​ ​the​ ​current​ ​defaults: 

We​ ​have​ ​come​ ​up​ ​with​ ​a​ ​list​ ​of​ ​settings​ ​we​ ​think​ ​you​ ​should​ ​try​ ​based​ ​on​ ​your​ ​level​ ​of​ ​trading​ ​the 
markets. 


 

Scalper​ ​Settings​ ​(M1-M15) 


 

Most​ ​scalpers​ ​are​ ​known​ ​to​ ​get​ ​in​ ​and​ ​out​ ​of​ ​trades​ ​quickly​ ​so​ ​they​ ​need​ ​the​ ​indicator​ ​to​ ​perform 
quickly. 

Because​ ​of​ ​that,​ ​the​ ​indicator​ ​will​ ​need​ ​a​ ​tune​ ​up​ ​when​ ​you​ ​are​ ​trading​ ​these​ ​lower​ ​time​ ​frames. 

Here​ ​are​ ​some​ ​recommended​ ​settings​ ​you​ ​can​ ​try​ ​that​ ​our​ ​team​ ​have​ ​tested​ ​and​ ​had​ ​success: 

Note**​ ​We​ ​highlighted​ ​the​ ​settings​ ​that​ ​are​ ​not​ ​a​ ​default​ ​setting

Conclusion 
In​ ​conclusion,​ ​we​ ​recommend​ ​you​ ​try​ ​out​ ​some​ ​of​ ​these​ ​setting​ ​if​ ​you​ ​are​ ​having​ ​a​ ​hard​ ​time 
deciding​ ​on​ ​what​ ​to​ ​tweak. 

Some​ ​of​ ​our​ ​team​ ​experienced​ ​5,​ ​8,​ ​3,​ ​5​ ​wins​ ​in​ ​a​ ​row​ ​with​ ​some​ ​of​ ​these​ ​settings​ ​as​ ​default.  

A​ ​few​ ​things​ ​to​ ​note​ ​about​ ​this​ ​indicator. 

We​ ​don’t​ ​trade​ ​every​ ​signal​ ​that​ ​is​ ​given…. 

If​ ​the​ ​Simple​ ​SAR​ ​shows​ ​you​ ​an​ ​entry​ ​you​ ​still​ ​have​ ​to​ ​make​ ​the​ ​trade.  

The​ ​best​ ​success​ ​you​ ​will​ ​find​ ​using​ ​this​ ​system​ ​is​ ​analyzing​ ​price​ ​action​ ​before​ ​making​ ​the​ ​final 
call​ ​to​ ​make​ ​the​ ​trade. 

Look​ ​for​ ​support​ ​or​ ​resistance​ ​being​ ​broke.​ ​Look​ ​and​ ​see​ ​if​ ​price​ ​is​ ​consolidating​ ​and​ ​if​ ​it​ ​is​ ​and 
you​ ​see​ ​ ​a​ ​trigger​ ​then​ ​don’t​ ​take​ ​that​ ​trade.​ ​This​ ​indicator​ ​is​ ​designed​ ​to​ ​help​ ​you​ ​spot​ ​new 
trades​ ​emerging​ ​and​ ​ready​ ​to​ ​break​ ​out 

For​ ​example: 

You​ ​see​ ​here​ ​that​ ​the​ ​price​ ​has​ ​not​ ​broke​ ​any​ ​prior​ ​support​ ​or​ ​resistance​ ​levels.

However​ ​when​ ​we​ ​saw​ ​this​ ​signal​ ​appear​ ​after​ ​it​ ​broke​ ​a​ ​support​ ​level​ ​then​ ​we​ ​can​ ​trade​ ​this 
with​ ​confidence  

This​ ​was​ ​a​ ​H4​ ​time​ ​chart​ ​so​ ​was​ ​a​ ​quick​ ​150​ ​pips​ ​in​ ​basically​ ​one​ ​day​ ​of​ ​trading. 

Updates 
Below​ ​you​ ​will​ ​find​ ​the​ ​new​ ​features​ ​and​ ​updates​ ​to​ ​the​ ​indiactor..

NEW​ ​UPDATE:​ ​September​ ​2017 

This​ ​update​ ​allows​ ​the​ ​trader​ ​to​ ​see​ ​potentially​ ​when​ ​the​ ​two​ ​moving​ ​averages​ ​will​ ​cross​ ​each 
other​ ​which​ ​will​ ​be​ ​a​ ​good​ ​indication​ ​that​ ​there​ ​is​ ​a​ ​trend​ ​reversal​ ​in​ ​the​ ​making! 

You​ ​can​ ​turn​ ​this​ ​off​ ​by​ ​selecting​ ​enabled​ ​to​ ​“false”​ ​if​ ​you​ ​do​ ​not​ ​want​ ​to​ ​see​ ​this​ ​new​ ​feature.
