Description & Settings
Related: Stochastic Reversal Signal Indicator - another powerful indicator for MetaTrader 5 traders.
theory:
in the march 2012 issue of tasc john ehlers was describing the swami charts (indicators) again.
Also recommended: stochastic multi-timeframe indicator - similar indicator with strong performance on MetaTrader 5.
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.
