SAR Indicator for Financial Markets

=====================================

Description​

The SAR (Stop and Reverse) indicator is a trend-following indicator used in financial markets to determine the direction of the market and to set stop-loss levels. This worker calculates the SAR indicator based on high and low prices.

What does this worker do?​

This worker takes a list of high and low prices, along with acceleration and maximum parameters, and calculates the SAR indicator. The SAR indicator is used to identify the trend direction and to set stop-loss levels.

How to interpret the results​

The SAR indicator is plotted on a chart and can be used to identify the trend direction. When the SAR indicator is below the price, it indicates an uptrend. When the SAR indicator is above the price, it indicates a downtrend. The SAR indicator can also be used to set stop-loss levels.

Parameters​

The following parameters are required to calculate the SAR indicator:
