Signal occurs at the candle closing

Hello and good day to everyone.

Below is the Stochastic with 4 Levels indicator that I obtained from here. It's quite useful for me. Is there any helper that can help me to tell me where I supposed to put "when the candle is closing" condition and what line should I put since I'm not really good in coding?

Any help will be much appreciated in advance. Thank you.

credit to fxdaytrader_ for the useful push notification.

I have modified it a bit (pls. see attached) and implemented e.g. the external parameter "SignalCandle".
if it is = 0 it should alert immediately, if set to 1 it should alert after barclose only ...

Sir, you are a very good guy. Thank you for the modification. Will test it later. Thank you very much, sir!

Hi. I am not going to download or use your indicator, but it sounds like it alerts you to level line crosses? Or is it a new method for calculating stochastic?

I just wanted to mention that the 50 line of the stochastic most likely crosses at the same point as the price crosses the corresponding SMA. In other words, if you stoch is 14/3/3, then when it crosses the 50 line, the price also crosses the 14 SMA on the main chart.

I think this is useful information for you. Stochs have a tendency to run out of room on their range so sometimes it can be difficult to know when price maxes from the SMA you are monitoring. To compensate I usually change the %D to some value other than 3 For instance try 14/10/3 or 14/7/3 or 14/14/3 or 28/14/3. You can also place Bollinger bands and additional moving averages on stochs. The idea is not to know what level they are crossing, but how far from the moving average have they traveled and when are they heading back to the moving average. Okay? Does that make sense? Crossing the 20 line or 40, or 80...doesn't really mean that much. The stoch is going to move with the price action. You need to determine the moving average of your entire system, and then set the stoch to it. Once you accomplish that, the 50 line becomes predominant.

You are of course not obligated to use my knowledge. I have studied stochs for years and even used multiple values overlayed on top of each other. But when I eventually figured out they use a moving average array in their coding, then I knew how to actually use them) My advice is not meant to discredit but to enhance your effectiveness

Actually I've been using stoch + MA for months manually (not with this kind of indicator) and never meet with losses, so far. I don't know if in future I will be having loss. I'm using 533 and 800 + 50 MA in H1 to detect the trend changes. And the levels are 15 20 80 and 85. The setting in the attached file is the default setting.

Btw, thank you very much for the knowledge you've shared. Will try it in backtest. I believe your experiences are much valuable for a new trader like me. Thanks again.

cheers and have a great weekend!

yes, just level crosses ...

btw., thanks a lot for your post, I am sure it is useful for many

I've found that the alert has been triggered exactly right at candle closing time (let say on 14:00 at H1 timeframe). But, they were like 2 candles late. The alert should be triggered on 12:00, not 14:00. Which part should I change, sir?

Another thing is, the indicator works great in my desktop. I've set 100 MA and 15 & 85 levels. Each time the price is above the MA, the alert will trigger each time the stoch moving upward from 15 level. But this not happened in my laptop. The indicator did not fire the alert of upward, but downward only. If the price below MA, my laptop only fire an alert of upward instead of downward. It's opposite. I don't know why.
