I'm not sure I understand your question, but the parabolic SAR is your
stop-loss point.  It then switches to the "other side" of the market so
you are always long or short; never flat.

Since I only use it on one side or the other, I simply use it as a
stop-loss; if I'm long, it's below the price.  If the market ever
reaches down to it, I get out and wait for an indication other than the
parabolic SAR to get back in.  Maybe on the same side of the market as I
was, maybe not.

I hope this answers your question.
