It depends on how you use it and the time frame.
It has a sort of simple rule to start the signal which I'm sure you can figure out.
All indicators lag. And as LasV has pointed out.......
It can put you in great trades and very bad trades. Don't trust indicators, there is no magic combination. Trust yourself and do your homework or the market will eat you.

The main problem with SAR on short time frames is that it will ride the sell or buy signal right up until the Price Action which is paramount in my book, adversely changes giving you a false signal if you are not in the trade from a while ago.
You have to use it with discretion and it works better on longer term charts. IMO
