I will only be trading this on demo for a while, but in looking back at the data, looks like there are several setups that the stochs can show in addition to the ropes (though the ropes may be the safest). Below is one example I just saw, and then came back 10 minutes later and saw that the price had jumped 200 pips.
This chart is the 1 hour GBPAUD chart. I would not have made this trade because the markets are going CRAZY right now, but it is an example of what the stochs can show.
Although this setup is not quite a complete rope, there are no stochs below the 14,3,3 stochs and the shorter term stochs are going up. It could have been a great trade.
I hope to help bring this thread back to life!
