Stoch summary card
Formula
- Raw %K = (close − lowest price of 14 candles) ÷ (highest − lowest) × 100
- %K = 3-candle average of raw %K; %D = 3-candle average of %K
Default settings
14, 3, 3 with levels 80 and 20
Settings by trading style
| Style | Setting | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Scalping | 5, 3, 3 | Very fast, many signals |
| Daily | 14, 3, 3 | Classic setting |
| Swing | 21, 5, 5 | Calmer, fewer errors |
Main signals
- %K crossing above %D below 20
- %K crossing below %D above 80
- Divergence between price and the stochastic
- In a strong trend: only signals in the trend's direction
Common mistakes
- Trading against the trend at every overbought or oversold reading
- Confusing the fast and slow stochastic
- Relying on very low timeframes without a filter
