The standard parameters are .2, .2, but I like .1, .2 better.  I plot both of them on my charts.  I have found that there are times when the values coincide or are very close.  

Bruce, can you help me by writing a scan to determine when they coincide?  And/or when they are close?

Many thanks, GLMUS.

I do not know of a way to reproduce Parabolic SAR in a formula

About the best you can do is add a 1-period envelope channel to one of the PSAR indicator with the Width(%) set to something arbitrarily small enough to "coincide" or be "close" to each other.

Then you could click on the envelope channels and select Create Condition to create a Channel Position Range condition checking for the other PSAR indicator being within the channel by setting the rangefinder to -100 to +100.

Hi Bruce:

Could you please explain how PSAR is different from Volatility Stop?

They appear similar on the chart. Thanks.
