You've heard the phrase BUY LOW and SELL HIGH! Stochastics are a great indicator of where to do that, especially when multiple time frames agree. Single stochastics on lower time frames especially cannot be relied upon.
NEVER buy when stochastics are over 80 and NEVER sell when they are below 20.
Stochastics form a key part of many systems and oscillators have always been used to help identify market waves and moves. Most professional traders use multiple time frame analysis to time their entries and spot key areas to get in and out of the market.
Having 4 key time frames displayed instantly on one chart for traders that use multiple time frame analysis and stochastics is priceless.
Common Strategies & How To Trade With the MTF Stochastics Indicator
The MTF stochastics indicator can be used alone or in conjunction with your other favorite indicators.
Exhaustion Strategy
On it's own a great strategy is to use stochastics for identifying when pullbacks are likely to occur.
- When all selected time frames are either overbought (above the 80 level) or oversold (below the 20 level) look for price action signals on the lowest time frame.
- The indicator will alert you when the stochastics are in these areas
- Price action signals could be a pinbar, engulfing candle or any good candlestick formation that traditionally signals a reversal.
Trend Pullback Strategy
Us the highest time frame to signal trend direction to you. e.g. M15, H1, H4 or daily time frame for trend.
- Us the highest time frame for general trend direction. Only take trades in the direction this time frame stochastic is heading. If stochastics have recently left the oversold area (under 20) crossed and are heading up you have a temporary uptrend.
- Use the lower time frames to time entries into the market in the direction of the higher trend.
- Wait for the lower time frames to be oversold (if trend direction is up) and buy when you get a cross on the lowest time frame stochastics or a good price action candlestick formation.
Great indicator, needs to be updated with complete settings for Stoch types like built-in stoch, look forward to RSI and MACD version and mt5
