  • Ref( +n) = forward looking ?

    Hi there,I have a stupid question, and I'm not sure whether I'm thinking the right way - I have constructed an momentum index that looks at a basket of currencies and then derives from that a momentum signal for the USDCHF rate.So I have an expert on the USDCHF rate that reads a value from a momentum signal coming from an an index that consist of a

    Is it possible or is there any known workaround to adjust the stop level ?As I understand it, the Parabolic SAR takes the last low (high) after entry as stop for the reversal.

    thanks for the quick note, but the output doesn't really make sense to me.
