Indicator Description
Stochastic Osciliator is a momentum indicator, ranging from 0 to 100, which shows where the closing price of the current bar is in relation to the highs and lows over the given period. The indicator consists of two lines: main line (%K) and signal line (%D), which is the moving average of the main line.
The signal line is also known as the trigger line. The most common use of the Stochastic Oscillator is to identify oversold and overbought levels, however this strategy is focusing on the crossovers of the two lines, which may indicate new trends: crossing of the main line by the trigger line from below is a bullish signal and the reverse is a bearish signal.
The MetaTrader 4’s default setting for the main line and trigger line are 5 and 3 periods, respectively. This strategy is using setting of 5 and 13 periods in order to limit the number of false signals.
The strategy is most likely to be successful when the market is in a strong trend in either direction. During the sideways market the strategy is likely to be less successful.
