Exp Sar Tm Plus Strategy

High-level StockSharp port of the Exp_Sar_Tm_Plus expert advisor. The strategy monitors Parabolic SAR reversals on a configurable timeframe and mirrors the original money-management and time-out features while keeping the logic compatible with the StockSharp high-level API.

Trading logic

Candles are subscribed from the CandleType parameter (default: 4-hour time frame). The Parabolic SAR indicator is calculated with the user-defined SarStep and SarMaximum coefficients.
For every finished candle the algorithm buffers close prices and SAR values. The SignalBar parameter selects which closed candle is evaluated (default: the last closed bar) and compares it to the preceding candle to detect a change in SAR direction.
A long position is opened when price crosses above the SAR (previous candle below SAR, selected candle above SAR) and long trading is enabled. Existing short exposure is closed automatically before switching direction.
A short position is opened when price crosses below the SAR (previous candle above SAR, selected candle below SAR) and short trading is enabled. Existing long exposure is flattened first.
Positions are closed when the SAR moves against them (AllowLongExit / AllowShortExit), when optional stop-loss / take-profit levels are breached, or when the maximum holding time (UseTimeExit + HoldingMinutes) expires.
Stop-loss and take-profit levels are recalculated on every entry using the instrument PriceStep. Both levels are optional and ignored when the corresponding value is zero.

Parameters

MoneyManagement – fraction of the base Volume that will be traded on every entry. Values ≤ 0 fall back to the plain Volume value. Normalized to the instrument VolumeStep.
ManagementMode – enumeration preserved from the original expert. All modes currently behave like Lot (fixed volume) inside this port.
StopLossPoints / TakeProfitPoints – distance in price steps used to set protective levels around the entry price. Set to zero to disable.
DeviationPoints – original slippage setting. It is kept for completeness, but the high-level API executes market orders without using this value.
AllowLongEntry, AllowShortEntry – toggles for opening long/short positions.
AllowLongExit, AllowShortExit – toggles for closing positions when price crosses the SAR in the opposite direction.
UseTimeExit – enables position liquidation after HoldingMinutes minutes in the market.
HoldingMinutes – duration for the time-based exit window.
CandleType – candle data type for SAR analysis.
SarStep, SarMaximum – Parabolic SAR configuration.
SignalBar – number of closed candles to shift the signal evaluation (0 = current finished candle, 1 = previous, etc.).

Risk management and notes

The strategy invokes StartProtection() on start, enabling StockSharp built-in protection services.
Time-based exits rely on the candle CloseTime (fallback to OpenTime if it is not available) to measure the holding period accurately.
Only one net position is maintained at any time. Position reversals automatically close the opposite side before entering a new trade.
The implementation keeps the parameter set of the original MQL5 expert. Some options (like non-Lot money management modes or order DeviationPoints) are placeholders because the high-level API abstracts broker-side mechanics.
