Tip:
Try using a different Acceleration or Acceleration Step.

Alerts
- When the SAR reverses
Signals
| Strong Long | When the SAR is below the price (and if EMA values are entered EMA fast is above EMA slow) |
| Weak Long | This signal only appears if EMA values are entered and SAR is below price but EMA fast is not above EMA slow |
| None | Never |
| Weak Short | This signal only appears if EMA values are entered and SAR is above price but EMA fast is not below EMA slow |
| Strong Short | When the SAR is above the price (and if EMA values are entered EMA fast is below EMA slow) |
If only one of the EMA values is specified, that EMA is combined with the SAR based on it’s slope. A Long SAR becomes Strong Long and a Short SAR becomes Weak Short if the slope is rising and vice versa with a falling slope.
If both EMA values are set to zero, the SAR will only give Strong signals.
