Parabolic Sar Volume Strategy

Strategy that combines Parabolic SAR with volume confirmation. Enters trades when price crosses the Parabolic SAR with above-average volume.

Testing indicates an average annual return of about 151%. It performs best in the stocks market.

Parabolic SAR identifies trend shifts, and higher volume validates the signal. Trades commence when the SAR flip comes with expanding volume.

Useful for traders who track volume-based moves. The SAR trail and an ATR factor guard against big losses.
