## What it means

Parabolic SAR draws a trail of dots that follows price and speeds up as the trend runs. When price crosses the dots, they flip to the other side, signalling a possible change of direction.

## How it is confirmed without repainting

Each dot is calculated from closed candles and fixed once printed.

## When it fails

Sideways markets, where the dots flip back and forth.
