Make Indicators Profitable Again
If you have been in the market for some time, then you have probably tried a few different indicators. Some may have worked well, others not so much. However, just because the indicator's default version didn't work, that doesn't mean it doesn't have potential!
Parabolic SAR Default
We have tested the Parabolic SAR with its default settings, on ETH/USDT 4h chart, on Kucoin. Each trade was taken with 100% of the available equity, and resulted in a total profit of -89%. This means that you would have decimated your account if you had used the default Parabolic SAR. The default Parabolic SAR values on Tradingview are: "Start" 0.02, "Increment" 0.02 and "Maximum" 0.2.
Modified Parabolic SAR
By modifying the "Increment" and "Maximum" values to 0.002, you will create a version that has a total profit of 492%! This version even works on shorts. There are even more profitable versions of the Parabolic SAR strategies which you can use. We have just tested a few different values, but more extensive testing would almost certainly bring better results.
Although you can use this indicator for your entries and exits, it is better to use it as a filter. This version is a lot slower than the default one, and as such, it only catches the big trends. As mentioned earlier, it also works on shorts; therefore, it can identify bear markets accurately. Therefore, you can use this version as a filter to find the long-term trend, and then use another indicator that signals more often, such as the MACD, to find the appropriate entries and exits.
