Investment Dictionary:

Parabolic Indicator

A technical analysis strategy that uses a trailing stop and reverse method called "SAR," or stop-and-reversal, to determine good exit and entry points.

Investopedia Says:
This method was developed by J. Wells Wilder. Basically, if the stock is trading below the parabolic SAR you should sell. If the stock price is above the SAR then you should buy (or stay long).
