Hello roy,

i think you should forget the 20 and 80 lines... Just let the soft go short/long based of the type of crossing between %K and %D.
Than you don't need TP, because at the next crossing, not only you have a signal to close the opened position but also at the same time the opportunity to open the reverse operation. So a buy is closed by a sell signal, and viceversa. And the moment of the close, the opposite operation is opened....
You need a fixed stoploss in case of system crash, for the rest you don't need because any change in the curve of the indicator will make a cross that will quickly close the opened operation.
I would use in 5.3.3, on eurusd, 30 min.
One problem: the lines move all the time and the cross need to be shure, so i would give a little bit of latency, f.i. why not wait confirmation of the close of the bar of the next 5min.bar?
If you do it, please don't forget to send me your MQ4.

Here is a stochastic cross EA.

This is basically how it works:
If the %K line crosses below the %D line during the previous candle/bar and the %K line is above 80 it goes short.
If the %K line crosses above the %D line during the previous candle/bar and the %K line is below 20 it goes long.

Stochastic settings: 8,3,3

Inputs:
Lotsize, Stop loss, Take Profit.

Coded to work on any timeframe. Won't open a trade, if a trade on the pair is already open. Has no MM feature.

This is a new baby project of mine. If you would like this modified let...

Hi,
I tested the EA (EUR/USD-EUR/JPY - M1,M5,M15), simple and with correct TP and SL it generates good profits.
I find it very good.
will be possible to create the possibility of closing the orders with opposite sign of the Stochastic indicator would be the cherry on the cake.
Thanks

Crossing Stochastic is not enought.
To increase profits I suggest to add following restrictions:

Buy open (5min/15m/1h/4h):
- price is above MA 240 on the 4H chart
- stochastic is above 20

Buy close (5min/15m/1h/4h):
- stochastic is close to 80



Sell open (5min/15m/1h/4h):
- price is under MA 240 on the 4H chart
- stochastic is under 80

Sell close (5min/15m/1h/4h):
- stochastic is close to 20


I`m scalping with that settings. Its very profitable .
Would be perfect if You can automate it with Your script.


Thanks in advance.

To Royconnel,

how can I change the parameters, instead of 8,3,3, to 8,5,5. Also instead of crossing over 80, and 20, use 60/40?
Thanks,
Zatara

be careful when trading this in a trending situation, my suggestion is to add a moving average filter to this EA,
Stochastic works very well in sideways markets but not so well in trending markets
for example, in a down trending market, only allow short trades from overbought and avoid long trades and vice versa
if you have a 200 period ma, then only buy when price is above the ma and oversold, and only sell when below it and is overbought,
Bulls are stupid Animals!especially when Im short!

Sir Roy

This does not seem to work on the GBP/JPY pair. Could you please help?
BTW, this is a great EA!

Here's a modified version with an MA filter. Seems to do OK on 15min charts.

I should say that's using EURUSD with the following settings mid-April 2016 to mid-May 2016 as that's the only history I have.

Lots 1
SL 30
TP 60
MA 200
Shift 0

I found running this on a 15m with a SL of 100 and TP of 100 got me some nice profits. Although it does enter the market sometimes make a very bad choice you must monitor it, you will see in back testing there are a lot of losses once it gets going...
