Description & Settings
Related: Stochastic Reversal Signal - another powerful indicator for MetaTrader 5 traders.
The indicator contains 8 stochastic oscillators. The default value of the "slow" and "period %d" parameters is 3, and %k varies from 6 to 24. This results in 8 stochastics with the following parameters: (6, 3, 3), (9, 3, 3), (12, 3, 3), (14, 3, 3), (16, 3, 3), (19, 3, 3), (21, 3, 3), and (24, 3, 3).Also recommended: stochastic multi-timeframe indicator - similar indicator with strong performance on MetaTrader 5.
Only the main line is used for each indicator. When all stochastics are combined, forming a single thin line, it indicates a potential trading opportunity. The line should form a peak and turn in the opposite direction, signaling market entry. This peak should be within overbought/oversold areas or near their boundaries.
Color bars are set when all stochastics exit the overbought/oversold zones.
