Jack690 Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 The chart from ticker TPAC on MT looks like this: The chart from stockcharts.com for the ticker TPAC looks like this: The site stockcharts.com is very reliable, but I see a different positioning of the parsar in MT and StockCharts. Both are SAR(0.02,0.2)How is this possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Medved Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 The only difference I see is in the second-to-last sequence, where MT terminates it earlier than Stockcharts. It may be due to some minute difference in timing of quotes. The rule for PSAR is that if the new point that is calculated on the upward sequence is higher than the low of the candle on which it falls, the PSAR switches directions. From what you're showing, that white dot is *right* on the low, so either that minute difference in quotes between the two systems has caused the condition to trigger or Stockcharts implemented it comparing it to close instead of low. Hard to tell. I also see the same boundary condition on one of the prior sequences. Could be same problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack690 Posted February 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 In MT the parsar was at 0.0046 when it was broken and flipped to 0.0022. On stockCharts the parsar is at 0.0065 and will not be broken in a long time. It has nothing to do with minute difference. I speak of the last candle.

Mike Medved Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Yes, that's because the previous sequence ended "early" on MT. I will go look at code again, but I checked it pretty extensively before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
