SAR Oscillator [Bellsz]

Converts Parabolic SAR into a normalized oscillator with crossover signals, gradient fills, and trend strength levels. A cleaner way to read SAR momentum. Making it easier to read momentum shifts, trend strength, and reversals directly in the sub-chart. Instead of dots on price only, this tool converts SAR dynamics into a smooth oscillator that highlights bias and turning points.

What it shows

• Normalized Price Line — scaled view of price relative to SAR.
  
• Normalized SAR Line — SAR value normalized across the high/low range.
  
• SAR Dots — visual cue when crossovers occur (potential reversal or trend acceleration).
  
• Gradient Fill — color-coded background for quick read of momentum direction/intensity.
  
• Guide Levels — ±50 baseline to track trend strength and overextension.
  

Why use it

• Converts SAR into an oscillator format, easier to compare across instruments & timeframes.
  
• Highlights momentum shifts early (crossovers, gradient flips).
  
• Adds structure with gradient fill and baselines, making SAR more actionable than standard dot plots.
  
• Works as a trend bias filter or confirmation tool alongside other indicators.
  

Inputs

• Acceleration / Increment / Maximum — adjust SAR sensitivity.
  
• Custom Colors — choose your scheme for price, SAR, and gradients.
  

Best practices

• Use on intraday or swing TFs as a trend bias filter.
  
• Look for Normalized Price crossing Normalized SAR as potential entry signals.
  
• Watch how SAR dots cluster near ±100 for exhaustion or reversal signals.
  

Notes

• This is a visual enhancement of SAR; it does not repaint.
  
• Combine with volume, FVGs, or session models for added context.
