Time frame:
Last week I tried exactly this on a M5 timeframe, more or less as some kind of scalping (on demo account).
Worked well in Sydney session but in London session it turned faster from overbought to oversold as I was able to generate any profit. As result, I had to wait for the next return and my loss became bigger and bigger.
Wouldn't suggest this on shorter timeframes, at least without other confirmation tools.
Trading stochastic on a shorter time frames is not safe at all
Also, stochastic in a ranging period is OK, but in trending periods can kill you in no time at all. It needs some other indicator to avoid that
