Jeffry, what do you mean by that exactly StochLength Numeric 14 Number of bars used to calculate FastK SmoothingLength1 Numeric 3 Number of bars used to slow FastK to FastD SmoothingLength2 Numeric 3 Number of bars used to slow FastD to SlowD how would you set your values using the 3 values described above?

Fair enough. I will spend the w/end playing with levels to see what it produces. What I generally use is Fast K = 21 Slow K = (Fast K)3 Day EMA D= (Slow K) 3 Day EMA. (I also use a 10 Day but this is too help spot divergences.) Probably my signal line is 'too sensitive', which could explain a lot. I do not actually use the stochastic on a signal cross basis, and always wondered about how anyone could use it that way. As I said before I trade when Weeekly is High/Low and daily (signal)is Oversold/Overbought. I just use it to try and time (re)joining a trend. A succesful example over the past week has been drug stocks. An unsuccessful one has been utilities. (The weekly sto has recovered very well over the past week) Admittedly now there are few tech stocks that I see that are o/sold in daily with rising weekly. - macavity
