Stochastic signals

Alexander.Gettinger · Thu Aug 19, 2010 2:54 am

There are several ways to interpretation a Stochastic Oscillator. Three popular methods include:

Overbought / Oversold Buy when the Oscillator %K falls below a specific level (e.g., 20) and then rises above that level. Sell when the Oscillator rises above a specific level (e.g., 80) and then falls below that level.

Code: Select all `function Init() strategy:name(“Stochastic Overbought/Oversold signal”); strategy:description(“”);

Sirs,

I work with the Stochastic indicator. On the graph of Marketscope2 I have mounted “Stochastic_Divergence.lua” and “Stochastic_Divergence1.lua” and all is OK. Then I followed the steps indicated in “How to Download and Install a Custom Signal/Strategy” to mount “Stochastic_Divergence_Signal.lua.” in “Menage custom strategy” and in “Add Panel Strategy” I have select “Stochastic_Divergence_Signal.lua.”, I have set the parameters and I have click OK, but I can’t place it on the chart. Why this? Can someone help me?

Thanks Germano

Re: Stochastic signals

sunshine · Mon Oct 10, 2011 1:04 am

Could you please provide more details about the issue

1) Did you get a error message? If so, please provide the text of the message. Please also check whether there are errors in the Events log (you can open it by choosing Show Events in the Strategies menu).

2) Please check whether the signal is in the list of available signals. For that, open the Add Strategy dialog (Strategies menu -> Add Strategy). You will see the list of signals. Scroll the list down and check if your signal is in the list. If must be in the Other group. To start the signal, you should add it by clicking the Add button in the Add Strategy dialog. Note that the signal won’t be shown on the chart. You can see it in the list of started strategies (Strategies -> Manage Strategies):

I hope this will help.

Re: Stochastic signals

germano · Mon Oct 10, 2011 3:05 am

Thanks for the reply.

Then:

1) I do not receive any error message. In “log Events” is everything OK. Indicates no error.

2) Yes, the signal is in the list of available signals (1 in Recent list + 1 in Others list) and in the “Menage strategy” panel I see “stochastic divergence signal” with the little green circle. However, on the chart does not appear the words “Showsignal (stochastic divergence signal)” and not appear the white circles with the dot inside.

This is the first time that I have a problem in Marketscope.

Note: Please excuse any errors, but English is not my mother tongue.

Re: Stochastic signals

If you use “Menage custom strategy” window then the strategy will not generate on chart display. For this you can use ShowSignal Indiktor or test strategy functionality.

Hi FXcodebase team,

Thanks a lot for your good work.

Can you write signal and strategy of a combined Stochastic strategy like this:

Buy when crossover appears in Oversold Area and the candlestick touches the lower band of the Bollinger Band Sell when the crossover appears in Overbought Area and the candlestick touches the upper band of the Bollinger Band. (It means that the candlesticks must touch the BB just before the crossover for this strategy to be valid).

Showsignal is indicator helper tool, which has existed in previous versions of Trade station.

Re: Stochastic signals

mozelly · Thu Sep 13, 2012 4:36 am

Well it seems that “showsignal” is proving a problem. I have contacted fxcm re marketscope to enable how to find it and they are confused. Could you just clarify if the stochastic crossover K & D can be shown on a candlestick chart and if this is via “showsignal”. If so,exactly how do you find it? I can inform you that I cannot find the signal menu either. Regards Peter

for the time being showsignal not exist as such, anywhere. hopefully it will be available in the next version of TS.

Hello Alexander,

I tried to test the Stochastic Divergence Indicator, but for me it seems that not all divergences are selected. Instead, Divergences are marked wich are from my point of view are not so good.

For me a normal divergence is:

Higher prices (or higher highs) but lower stochastic signals for short. Lower prices (or lower lows) but higher stochastic signals for long.

I have attached a picture to compare the divergences found by the indicator and some divergences wich were not selected (dotted dark blue lines). Whats the problem? Is it possible to code this and if yes, could you also change the strategy?

Have a nice day and thank you for all the work you are doing here for us

Hello,

I am making a little change to this strategy in order to add a confirmation in a TF lower the stochastic has to be on the same direction that the actual stochastic but the I am getting this error: “Index is out of range” I have been looking for this error but I do not find any clue about it.

Could any body help me with this?

Many thanks in advanced,

JCR

You can not use same period index, for multiple time frame data sources. Try to use core.findDate or methods used for MTF strategies. viewtopic.php?f=28&t=2712

Bug with Stochastic_Overbought_Oversold_Strategy.lua

I haven’t tested the others.

Your request is added to the development list. Development reference 1351.

I keep getting the same error message.

I tried the other 2 indicators, I also have the same error message for each one.

This one works. Thank you.

Is it possible to have the signal in the input of the oversold/overbought area instead of the output as at present?

I’m not sure I understand, can you elaborate with an example?

Shifted by one candle back in time? Not sure we can do it for signals/strategies. We can have this on indicators.

Right now the signal is there:

I want him there:

For K/D line cross, this is simply not possible. We can do it for indicators, still, the arrow will be placed “post festum”.
