The 100 Non Repaint Indicator is a Parabolic SAR implementation with flip-arrow alerts. Also, cyan dots sit below the price during uptrends, magenta dots sit above during downtrends, and the moment the SAR flips sides a green BUY or red SELL arrow prints at the flip bar. Same Wilder formula traders have used for decades, packaged with the 4-channel alert system MT4 default SAR lacks.

What the 100 Non Repaint Indicator does on the chart
Also, the 100 Non Repaint Indicator is a Parabolic SAR (Stop And Reverse) implementation. Also, still, it plots small dots above the price during downtrends and below the price during uptrends. The dots are tight when volatility is low and widen as trend acceleration grows.
Cyan dots below price = the SAR is in BULLISH mode. Thus, magenta dots above price = BEARISH mode. When the SAR flips – which happens on a single close past the prior dot level – the indicator prints a green BUY arrow (bullish flip) or red SELL arrow (bearish flip).
Key features and settings
- Standard Parabolic SAR math (Wilder’s formula)
- Cyan dots below price during bull moves, magenta dots above during bear moves
- BUY arrow on bullish flip (dots move from above to below price)

- Adjustable acceleration step + maximum cap
- Full alert system: popup, push notification to mobile MetaTrader, email, and sound — all four channels can be toggled independently from the inputs panel. Alerts fire once per closed bar so you never get spammed mid-tick.
- Built for both MT4 and MT5; works on every timeframe and every symbol your broker offers.
- Lightweight code that does not slow down the chart.

How to read signals from the 100 Non Repaint Indicator

Watch the dot position relative to price. Also, still, hence, once dots move from one side of price to the other a flip arrow prints.
Entry idea (long). Wait for the cyan dots to appear below price (the first dot after a bearish run flips this way). Next, enter on the close of the flip bar.
In practice, Entry idea (short). Wait for the magenta dots to appear above price.
Exit idea. A simple trailing stop is the dot itself – many traders close when the next opposite flip prints.
Tuning the 100 Non Repaint Indicator inputs
Start with the defaults, then tune for your market. Step (default 0.02) tunes how the calculation behaves; Maximum (default 0.20) sets the averaging length — raise it for smoother, slower signals or lower it for faster, more sensitive ones. Then, every alert channel — pop-up, sound, email and mobile push — toggles independently in the same inputs panel, and alerts fire once per closed bar.

- H4 for confirmation and swing trades.
Higher timeframes give fewer but steadier signals. Thus, yet, common instruments are EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, XAUUSD and indices such as US30 and NAS100.

Does it work on instruments other than forex?
