Triple SAR Scalping 5M
Dec 11, 2016

The Triple SAR Scalping 5M indicator provides a multi-layered trend-following approach by plotting three distinct Parabolic SAR calculations to identify high-probability scalping opportunities.
Usage
The Triple SAR Scalping 5M is primarily designed for the 5-minute timeframe. Traders should look for specific patterns where the three Parabolic SAR bands overlap or align in the same direction.
A common strategy involves:
- Bullish Bias: When the price is trading above all three SAR levels.
- Bearish Bias: When the price is trading below all three SAR levels.
- Scalping Targets: The script is optimized for quick trades, aiming for a profit of approximately 4-5 pips, though users can adjust their exit strategy based on personal risk tolerance.
The alignment of the "Slow," "Moderate," and "Fast" SAR components helps filter out market noise and provides a clearer picture of short-term momentum.
Details
The indicator utilizes the standard ta.sar() function with varying acceleration and maximum step parameters to create three unique sensitivities:
- Slow SAR: Uses an acceleration of 0.01 and a step increment of 0.01.
- Moderate SAR: Uses an acceleration of 0.01 and a step increment of 0.02.
- Fast SAR: Uses an acceleration of 0.01 and a step increment of 0.03.
By displaying these three levels simultaneously, the indicator acts as a trailing support/resistance system that responds at different speeds to price action. The script also includes built-in alerts for when the price crosses any of the three SAR levels.
Settings
- Slow SAR: Represented by blue crosses, this set uses the lowest step increment (0.01) for a broader trend view.
- Moderate SAR: Represented by green crosses, this set uses a mid-range step increment (0.02) for balanced sensitivity.
- Fast SAR: Represented by red crosses, this set uses the highest step increment (0.03) to react quickly to price changes.
FAQ
