Swami stochastic
This is a powerful addition to your MetaTrader 5 toolkit designed to optimize market analysis and performance. This technical indicator acts as a specialized analysis tool designed to visualize market data. It helps traders identify emerging trends, momentum shifts, and key support or resistance levels by plotting statistical calculations directly onto price charts.

Description & Settings
Theory:
In the March 2012 issue of TASC John Ehlers was describing the swami charts (indicators) again.
In addition to drawing colored zones, this indicator has what the original does not have : the "generic" stochastic (that is a type of average of all the stochastics calculated to display the "swami" zones). Without that generic stochastic it is virtually impossible to use any value as a criteria for some trend assessment (unless we consider the color as that, but with swami charts that can be quite difficult sometimes).
Usage:
Ehlers advises to use colors, but I strongly advise that you use the values of the "generic" stochastic for trend estimation.
PS:
Swami charts are not "CPU friendly". Take care of the settings for that reason.
