if you test PSAR alone it is a very poor indicator of
anything. So thinking that it alone would give good signals
for exiting a system trade early is most likely not true.
There are other indicators to use as trade filters that would
probably be more worthwhile.........
but druck -- get a platform where you can backtest this
stuff. Then when you get an idea, you just try it out.
Its fun. You ask for thoughts, but the only worthwhile
thought, really, is "backtest it" because you're modifying a
backtested system.
