Stochastic Oscillator was devised by George C. Lane in 1950s. It is a momentum indicator that compares the security price close relative to it price range (high - low) over a period of time. According to George Lane, the Stochastic Oscillator does not follow price, it doesn't follow volume or anything like that. It follows the speed or the momentum of the price. As a rule, the momentum changes direction before the price.
How to use
The Stochastic Oscillator goes up when the security price closes in the upper ranges (meaning close is near the high of the period). In a strong trending market, the stochastic can stay in overbought/oversold conditions for a extended period of time. A trade signal may be generated when the stochastic crosses overbought/oversold levels. It may also be generated when the main line reverses direction and starts trending in opposite direction. Stochastic may also be used for the divergence signals. Divergence occurs when the Stochastic directional movement is not confirmed by the price action. For example, a bullish divergence occurs when EURUSD makes lower low but the Stochastic makes higher low. This means that EURUSD is losing momentum and a bullish correction is possible.
The Stochastic crossovers give powerful trading signals when used in conjunction with the trend-line violation, the candle formation, and the support and resistance levels.
Calculation
%K = (CLOSE-LOW(%K))/(HIGH(%K)-LOW(%K))*100
%D = SMA(%K, N)
