Parabolic SAR is used by traders to set trailing gold price stoploss areas

The Parabolic SAR provides good exit points that keep trailing the gold price of xauusd.

In an upwards xauusd trend, you should close long trade positions when the price drops below the parabolic SAR

In a downward xauusd trend, you should close short trades when the price rises above the parabolic SAR.

If you are trading long then the gold price is above parabolic SAR, the parabolic SAR will move up every day, regardless of the direction in which the gold price is moving. The amount the parabolic SAR moves up depends on the amount that gold prices moves.
