Suggestion Stochastic oscillator

The stochastic oscillator is used to compare the current price level of an asset to its range over a set timeframe – again, this is usually 14 periods.


Within an uptrend, a market will tend to close nearer to its highs and in a downtrend, it would close nearer to its lows. When prices move away from these extremes and toward the middle of its price range, it is often a sign that the momentum is exhausted and likely to change direction.

Like the RSI, the stochastic moves on a scale between zero and 100. A stochastic value of over 80 usually indicates an overbought status, and a value of 20 or lower typically indicates oversold conditions.

The problem is that when trading with this indicator, the price can leave such zones, giving a signal and hope for a reversal, and then after a small rollback, enter these zones again and hook your stop losses, moving further along the trend.
