Function Prototype
/* Parabolic SAR */
/* Type: overlay */
/* Input arrays: 2 Options: 2 Output arrays: 1 */
/* Inputs: high, low */
/* Options: acceleration factor step, acceleration factor maximum */
/* Outputs: psar */
int ti_psar_start(TI_REAL const *options);
int ti_psar(int size,
TI_REAL const *const *inputs,
TI_REAL const *options,
TI_REAL *const *outputs);
Description
This documentation is still a work in progress. It has omissions, and it probably has errors too. If you see any issues, or have any general feedback, please get in touch.
The Parabolic SAR can help locate a reversal.
It takes two option, the acceleration factor f
, and the acceleration factor
maximum j
.
Calculation is as follows:

Example Usage
Calling From C
/* Example usage of Parabolic SAR */
/* Assuming that 'high' and 'low' are pre-loaded arrays of size 'in_size'. */
TI_REAL *inputs[] = {high, low};
TI_REAL options[] = {.2, 2}; /* acceleration factor step, acceleration factor maximum */
TI_REAL *outputs[1]; /* psar */
/* Determine how large the output size is for our options. */
const int out_size = in_size - ti_psar_start(options);
/* Allocate memory for output. */
outputs[0] = malloc(sizeof(TI_REAL) * out_size); assert(outputs[0] != 0); /* psar */
/* Run the actual calculation. */
const int ret = ti_psar(in_size, inputs, options, outputs);
assert(ret == TI_OKAY);
Calling From Lua (with Tulip Chart bindings)
-- Example usage of Parabolic SAR
psar = ti.psar(high, low, .2, 2)
Example Calculation
acceleration factor step = .2, acceleration factor maximum = 2
