Trading Overbought and Oversold Bars with Stochastics

Image
Defining a Trade Setup using Stochastics Using the Stochastic Indicator we can define several simple and easy Trade Setups. With the Ninjatrader Stochastics Indicator we can define Overbought and Oversold Bars when the K line is above or below these levels. The D line is an average of the K line, so the closest is its period to 1, the closest this line will be with the K. With a period of 1, both lines overlap one each other. We can use 2 different methods to trade with Stochastics ; Using both K and D lines ; we watch for Crossover of these lines, and take an entry depending where the crossover happened ; if it was on the overbought, we have a sell. If it was on the oversold, then it is a buy signal. Using only the K Line ; we wait for the K line being on the overbought/oversold area and trying to get out... Example using Method 1 ( K vs D Crossover :  TIS_STO_XO ) Example using Method 2 ( TIS_Reversal ) Watch this YouTube Video for more i...

Trade Setup Examples : Defining Entry Signals

Entry Signals There are different ways to Trade a Market, no matter what Instrument or Time Frame, we must analyze which works best ; I would classify the possible Setups in 2 Ways ; Trade Breakouts We must define a rule to specify an area ( over and below the market ) that once broken will trigger an entry signal ; a long when the area is broken to the upside, and a short when broken to the downside. Trade Pullbacks We must define a rule to calculate the Trend. When it exceeds a threshold, then we are trade ready to enter on a retracement Some instruments can be traded better on one mode than the other. The combination of instrument and timeframe is also important, because the same instrument can perform better with breakouts on one time frame while working better with pullbacks on other.
