Stochastics Oscillator
Here’s one way a leading indicator can be used. Stochastics is based on a statistical formula which detects if a currency is overbought or oversold.
Stochastics Oscillator
An overbought/oversold indicator that compares today's price to a preset window of high and low prices. These data are then transformed into a range between zero and 100 and then smoothed.
The stochastics oscillator has a fast (%K) and a slow (%D) component, and the interactions between the two form the basis of analysis.
The Slow Stochastics oscillator is similar to the Fast Stochastics oscillator, where the new %K line corresponds to the fast %D line, and the new %D line is computed as a moving m-period average of the new %K line.
The Full Stochastics oscillator uses three parameters: the period for %K (fast), the period for the SMA that smooths %K (fast), and the period of the SMA that forms %D (full).
