Hey guys.

This simple strategy buys when there are three consecutive higher closes and shorts when there are three consecutive lower closes.
Normally, it is a reversal system which covers long at a short signal and cover shorts vice versa.
So I decided to trail it with SAR on zorro but it doesnt seem to work because it still obeys the reversal system
The code needs something to prevent either longs or shorts when a position is open unless the SAR has stopped the position out.

Here is the code:



function run()

{


StartDate = 2002 ;
EndDate = 2021;
BarPeriod = 1440;
MaxLong = 1;
MaxShort = 1;
LookBack = 200;


vars Close = series(priceClose());
Stop = 2*ATR(100);
Trail = SAR(0.02,0.02,0.2);



if ( (Close[2]>Close[3]) and (Close[1]>Close[2]) and (Close[0]>Close[1]) )
enterLong();

if ( (Close[2]<Close[3]) and (Close[1]<Close[2]) and (Close[0]<Close[1]) )
enterShort();

set(PLOTNOW);
plot("SAR",SAR(0.02,0.02,0.2),DOT,BLUE);

}

Kindly give me the cheat code....

Trail with SAR? That makes not really sense to me, for trailing you normally use a price distance. SAR is no price distance but an indicator that alternates above or below the price line. Maybe you meant ATR?

The SAR trail is as the dots alternates. SAR is a rather common trailing stop.
I know well about ATR trails and Chandeliers

You confused Trail and Stop. SAR is not for Trail. It is sometimes used to set the Stop.

To move the stop with the SAR, you can use a TMF.
