parabolic sar

[f.saeidi]

how can i determine candle[0] is below or above parabolic sar?
for up trend i use :
double value=ParabolicSAR(0.02,0.2,0.02)[0];
if ( candle[0] > value)

for down trend i use:
if ( candle[0] < value)

but its not work correctly.
how can i fix this?

Hello f.saeidi,

If you want the Close price of the bar use Close[0].

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/close.htm

If you want the Low price of the bar use Low[0].

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/low.htm

Print(string.Format("{0} | Low[0]: {1} > ParabolicSAR(0.02,0.2,0.02)[0]: {2}", Time[0], Low[0], ParabolicSAR(0.02,0.2,0.02)[0]));

if (Low[0] > ParabolicSAR(0.02,0.2,0.02)[0])
{
Print(Time[0] + " | the Low of the bar is greater than the ParabolicSAR");
}

Thnx for notes.
I don't need create parabolic for candle0 and candle 1?
For example
If (sar candle 0 > sar candle 1) trend is up
If (sar candle 0 <sar candle 1) trend is down.
Can I use above method?

Hello f.saeidi,

I'm not quite sure what you are asking.

Are you asking if you can compare the Low of the current bar with the ParabolicSAR() value from the previous bar (1 bar ago)?

if (CurrentBar > 1 && Low[0] > ParabolicSAR(0.02,0.2,0.02)[1])

I guess ur mention script don't work well.
I just want when parabolic sar in above candle tell me down trend and when parabolic sar is below candle tell me up trend.
I understand we must compare candle 0 and candle 1 parabolic sar condition to determine what is the trend.

Hello f.saeidi,

I've tested this and I am seeing this is working as expected.

Below is a link to a video.

"I just want when parabolic sar in above candle tell me down trend and when parabolic sar is below candle tell me up trend."

I'm not clear on what this means. Can you specific on what values you want compared and how you want them compared?

"when parabolic sar in above candle"

Do you mean the Low[0] of the current bar is greater than the value returned from the ParabolicSAR indicator?

"candle tell me down trend"

Do you mean the Close[0] of the current bar is greater than the Close[1] of the previous bar?

Thnx for notes.
You use low and high for parabolic sar.
I use current bid value and I will try your method.
Best regard
