So my team runs Everest Fortune Group – an award-winning research house (The Technical Analyst 2019, 2020 & 2021 for Best FX Research & Best Equity Research to be specific) – and we have advised the trading desks of the largest banks, hedge funds and asset management companies and I can assure you that there’s a different way to look at Stochastic that can really improve your profitability.
Now, this can work really well by itself but my personal recommendation when it comes to trading – try to find as many different studies to agree on a certain outcome. What I mean is – if you have 3 oscillators (eg. RSI, Stochastic, MACD) that all tell you an instrument is overbought, it most likely won’t work as they are all oscillators. Instead, look for different studies that complement your trading. I particularly recommend combining this with:
- Support and Resistance
- Fibonacci Retracements
- Fibonacci Extensions
- True RSI
- Price Action
And of course, ensuring everything is properly managed with good MT4 Trade Management.
