Often times we find traders “system-hopping” a term that denotes market participants who repeatedly change their trading technique.
Traders do this when their current system isn’t offering them the much needed results.
The SAR HAMA Oscillator forex trading strategy is designed to help you trade with the most profitable currency trend. It works for any currency pair and any time frame.
To make this possible, we added the SAR_oscillator.ex4 and HAMA_.ex4 custom indicators, two very important technical trading tools that will aid us in defining trend power and direction respectively.

About The Trading Indicators
The HAMA_ indicator deploys a 2-color visualization (red and royal blue) scheme to deliver sell and buy signals respectively.
The SAR_oscillator.ex4 custom indicator simply put is a Parabolic SAR in the form of an oscillator.
Just like the original Parabolic SAR (0.02, 0.20), the SAR_oscillator.ex4 MT4 indicator is also laced with the same values.
