First, the ADX Indicator signals an uptrend with DI+ crossing above DI-. The Parabolic SAR is in a buy signal mode already. However, we notice that price starts to move a bit lower with the PSAR now signaling a downtrend. Pending long order is placed at the PSAR level, which is triggered after two sessions, highlighted by the rectangle. The stops are placed at the low of the candle session where the long position was triggered. The stops are then trailed according to the PSAR levels and eventually, the long position is stopped out for a fairly decent profit.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"> <b>Sell Signal Example</b></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PDArW4MeVFw/VpQJh3Vkz1I/AAAAAAAAAW8/OIDVEW47Qhs/s1600/PSARS5.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="274" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PDArW4MeVFw/VpQJh3Vkz1I/AAAAAAAAAW8/OIDVEW47Qhs/s640/PSARS5.PNG" width="640" /></a></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"> <b><br /></b></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"> <img alt="Parabolic SAR and ADX - Sell Signal" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5754" height="425" sizes="(max-width: 975px) 100vw, 975px" src="http://www.forexstrategieswork.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Parabolic-SAR-and-ADX-Sell-Signal.png" srcset="http://www.forexstrategieswork.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Parabolic-SAR-and-ADX-Sell-Signal-300x131.png 300w, http://www.forexstrategieswork.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Parabolic-SAR-and-ADX-Sell-Signal-768x335.png 768w, http://www.forexstrategieswork.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Parabolic-SAR-and-ADX-Sell-Signal-126x55.png 126w, http://www.forexstrategieswork.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Parabolic-SAR-and-ADX-Sell-Signal.png 975w" style="border: 0px; height: auto; margin-bottom: 15px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="975" /><br /><em>Parabolic SAR and ADX Strategy – Sell Signal</em></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"> In the example above, we can see that the ADX indicator has signaled a downtrend. However, the Parabolic SAR still remained in a buy signal with the PSAR continuing to plot the reversal levels below price. A short position is trailed at the PSAR level, which is eventually triggered. By the time the short position is in play, the trend is already strong and price continues to move lower. Stops are initially placed at the high of the candle and then trailed to the subsequent PSAR levels. A few sessions later, the short position is closed out with price breaking the trailing stop near the PSAR level.</div> <h2 style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px 0px 12px; padding: 0px;"> Parabolic SAR and ADX Strategy – Short Term Momentum Trading Strategy</h2> <div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;"> As illustrated, the Parabolic SAR and the ADX trading strategy is one of the most simplest and uncomplicated of trading strategies.
