Parabolic SAR robot Review

[civfan]

Hey... how about if one want to tweak somehow the parameters?

I think the default values are (short):

Lot: 0.2
Sar step: 0.02
sar maximum: 0.2

So, for instance, if I wanna change the lots to 1.0... should I change also the sar step or sar maximum?

Hi civfan, change it if you want and let us know your results. Lot 0,2 was made for safe trading

[civfan]

Ok, but if I would to increase the risk, and for instance increase lot to 1.0, in porpotion what would be in your opinion the increase size of the other setups:

Sar step: ?
sar maximum: ?

[david.jukl]

I wouldn´t change neither Sar step nor Sar max. You might enlarge stop-loss and trailing stop if you want.

[civfan]

ok. Thought it will be nice to know what would be the effect of sar step and sar max...?

So finally I finished a webpage about Parabolic SAR - I just changed name to ATS2009 - Automatic trade system of year 2009 http://www.obchodujeme.eu/en/
My system is focused on short sells on EURUSD currency pair . However EURUSD rose from 1,2850 to 1,4405 in last 3 months - my system is still profitable. In this strong trend system would be more profitable if you enabled also "buy" option.

So on my EA you can see, that every EA should be optimised for current situation every few months. This EA runs 10months already - EURUSD rose from 1,2300 to 1,4300. In Parabolic SAR I enabled SHORT trades only, that was not the best option for this strong trend . I always say "trend is your friend" So you should use this EA on any currency pair or commodity that is not in this strong long-term rising trend .
It performed well on USDJPY, GBPUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF, EURCHF

Hi David,

I'm new to this forum, but your EA seem very interesting for me.
Can you tell me what is the difference between Parabolic SAR v2 with your ATR 2009?
