How to trade with Parabolic SAR on Olymp Trade
Trading with Parabolic SAR on Olymp Trade is very easy. you just need to remember the golden rule of the indicator.
The golden rule of the indicator says:
- When the asset is in a bullish trend that means the asset is dominated by buyers then the Parabolic SAR dots will stay below the candlestick.
- Similarly, when the asset is in a bearish trend that means the asset is dominated by sellers then the Parabolic SAR dots will stay above the candlestick.
- When the asset has a very strong trend either Bullish or Bearish the distance between Parabolic SAR and Candlestick will be big. and vice versa the distance will be small in case of a weak trend.
Buy with the dots below the price
As, you can see above the dots are below the price and we can also see a good distance between the two so, it signals a strong upcoming bullish trend and we can place a buy trade. however, the best time to place a buy trade will be when you see two or three green candles.
Sell with dots above the price
Similarly, when the dots are above the price it signals an upcoming bearish trend but place a sell trade when you see two or three continuous red candles as it signals a strong trend.
