Optimize Your Trading with Stochastics

The Stochastic Oscillator compares where the price is trading relative to the range (high/low) over a given period. The basic premise is that in an uptrend, the price should be closing near the highs of the trading range, signaling upward momentum in the security. In downtrends, the price should be closing near the lows of the trading range, signaling downward momentum.

While many terms in technical analysis are imprecisely defined, and can be open to interpretation, this is not the case with the Stochastics, which are solidly defined and have rigid formulae for calculation.

There are generally three different kinds of stochastic oscillators that are used by traders. They are fast, slow and full stochastic oscillators. Each of them functions in an analogous manner. Whenever traders make reference to trading with stochastic oscillator, they are simply making reference to the slow stochastic, which will be the main focal point of this webinar.
