Thanks for sharing that. Unfortunatley my program doesn't have a Stoch-RSI. They are separate and I am unable to place a moving average over the stochastics (%k and %d). I have fiddled with the stoc and the RSI and havn't come up with much. Sounds like a good idea if someone has that capability. Didn't know there was a stoc-RSI indicator. MMK

Somewhere...in a book? mag article? SI post?...I read of a guy who uses RS and a moving average as crossovers. Your idea with Stochastics sounds good too. It makes some sense: with RS you've got a trend-following indicator where price strength is calculated relative to trend strength, and with Stochastics you've got a trend-leading indicator where price strength is calculated relative to trend direction. If effect, I suppose, the RSI would act as the smoothing line, and Stoch. as the signal line. Wouldn't one need to use the same periods, though? This has potential, Cat. Let me do some research on it... TC

Does QC have that capacity? I.e., to superimpose RSI and Stoch? I suppose, if we were playing simple X's, we could just eyeball the numbers... TC

Just noted that BEI superimposes Stoch and RSI, but without the smoothing factors, there are simply too many signals. But it does, at least, seem to signal at the right times, catching the turns at their peaks (setting 5 for each). TC

Cat, Let me just clarify your periodicity figures. You are saying an RSI-Stoch indicator, with both RSI and Stoch set at 5, and each smoothed by taking a 3 or 4 period moving average of each...? And Stoch plays the trigger for the signal? Is this what we are looking at on the chart you posted? TIA, TC of
