Parabolic SAR
Welles Wilder · 1978
What it measures
Dots trail the price, and the moment price crosses through them the indicator declares the direction flipped. Dots under the candles mean an up phase; above, a down phase.
How TickTurn reads it
Dots below the candles count bullish, dots above count bearish. This indicator has **no neutral** — it is built to always point one way or the other.
That judgement is made on closed daily bars only; a bar still in progress is left out, because including it makes the same symbol change its answer within the day. On the result screen this indicator holds one vote out of 21.
It is not an answer on its own
If one indicator could call tomorrow, everyone would use only that one. TickTurn asks 21 of them together not because any single one is trusted, but to show plainly where they disagree. Even the combined score, measured against the right baseline, came out only a shade better than chance — the scoring is written up in how we tested.
