Verified: May 27, 2026Lexicon Core Definition
The variable in Parabolic SAR's calculation that determines how quickly the SAR dot moves toward price as a trend extends. The acceleration factor starts small (far stop) in early trend stages and increases incrementally with each new high (for longs) or low (for shorts), causing SAR to self-tighten as the trend matures and automatically signal exhaustion when the trend reverses.
