Signals are generated by changes in SAR indications.

MTF version of this strategy If the shortest TF switch the direction And the longer TF is in the same direction position will be opened.
Tick SAR With Second Time Frame Confirmation Strategy.lua
To work, please install Tick_sar Indicator viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2450&p=5320&hilit=tick_sar#p5320
The Strategy was revised and updated on January 22, 2019.

The limit function is not working for me, am I doing something wrong or is this a glitch that needs to be fixed, thanx. PS if you help me I’ll donate…

Unfortunately yesterday I discovered that the template that I use to have a bug. The worst thing I need to update all or nearly all strategies. The plan is to do it within 10 days. So much of my vacation by the sea.
Rpleandro · Wed Jun 15, 2011 9:34 am
I see, so this also explains the glitch in the Heiken-Ashi. I’ll wait patiently Apprentice. Can you please e-mail me when the work is done? Let me know how I can donate a few bucks for the cause. Thanx Bro…

Have you install it?
Here you can find the article on how to do it. viewtopic.php?f=17&t=17
t1982t · Sun Jun 26, 2011 12:48 pm
Yes, I have. I can actually open and use the indicator, but but when I go to test the strategy shows me the message
Apprentice · Mon Jun 27, 2011 5:53 am
Very strange. Have you changed names of indicators, Like Tick_Sar (1). Lua
t1982t · Mon Jun 27, 2011 7:59 am
Nope
t1982t · Mon Jun 27, 2011 8:09 am

Happy New year to all,
I have tried the strategy in many time frames and the result is the same. The signals lag the change of SAR by one candle. This has the result of turning winning positions into losers most of the time. I have tried it on both open and close positions to no effect. In fact on the open position it operates two candles late. I understand that on the ordinary SAR this is to be expected but I thought that since this operates on tick data the signal would be more accurate. Any ideas or tweaks to make this work properly. Hopefully this link should explain

HI, I am new to this, please pardon mi ignorance.
I would like to use ASHI with SAR (eider Parabolic or Tick), but signals buy sell should only generate when the trend is on. Similar as you have done on Trendbar.lua but for ASHI,
If possible have a filter measuring the angle of the trend as to calculate the strength of the trend.
I have tried to install the TIC SAR strategy but it seams like is not working in the Backtester, could you post what and how is it need to be instated.
Thank you.
Apprentice · Sun Mar 11, 2012 5:18 am
I have test this strategy, works as expected. Two possible reasons for your problem. You have not installed an tick_sar indicator. OR, AND, you have not set Allow strategy, to trade parameter to yes.

Hello Apprentice,
Thanks for the great job. I requested for an upgrade on the TICK SAR Strategy months back, yet no reply or even an upgrade.
I simply requested that the following conditions be included so that users can choose to enable this parameter or not:
dewaal · Mon Mar 25, 2013 9:46 am
Dear Apprentice The TIC SAR Strategy only allows you to put “trade amount in lots” up to 100. Can you please change this to 1000. This is necessary as to smaller currencies needs larger lots. Yours truly
Apprentice · Mon Mar 25, 2013 5:28 pm
Limit increased to 10.000
dewaal · Tue May 07, 2013 8:09 am
Dear Apprentice Can you please ad to the TIC SAR Strategy a START/STOP time for trading with manditory closing time.
VERY PLEASE !!!

Your request is added to the development list.
zoltanh · Mon Oct 13, 2014 2:20 pm
hi, Could you program a MTF version of this strategy? If the shortest TF switch the direction and the longer TFs are in the same direction, position should be opened. thanks

When I try to start this strategy with “T” selected for Time Frame, I get the following error:
Tick SAR Strategy.lua:101: timeframe must not be tick
What’s my problem?
Apprentice · Fri Oct 24, 2014 2:12 am
“t1” time frame is not allowed time frame for this strategy.
Apprentice · Fri Oct 24, 2014 2:29 am
Tick SAR Strategy StrategyUpdate. Tick SAR With Second Time Frame Confirmation Strategy Added.
Wrongside Red · Fri Oct 24, 2014 4:31 am
Thank you kindly, Apprentice.
When I backtest the “Tick SAR With Second Time Frame Confirmation Strategy” on any Yen pairs, the strategy always trades USD/JPY… even when I am only testing GBP/JPY and EUR/JPY.
Bug?
Apprentice · Fri Oct 24, 2014 5:34 am

I am sure that this is not the indicator bug. I believe this is known TS bug. Simply selected desired instrument.
(Update) This is a bug and will be fixed in the future TS release.
