Parabolic SAR

 

In the world of short-term trading, experiences are defined by a trader's ability to anticipate a certain move in the price of currencies. There are many different indicators used to predict future direction, but few have proved to be as useful and easy to interpret as the parabolic SAR. The parabolic SAR is a technical indicator that is used by many traders to determine the direction of currency’s momentum and the point in time when this momentum has a higher-than-normal probability of switching directions.

The most lagging indicator I have ever seen.. amazing how popular such a shitty indicator can be.
