Best Stochastic Trading Strategy- Easy


6 Step Strategy
by TradingStrategyGuides | Last updated Jun 29, 2019 | All Strategies, Indicator
Strategies | 21 comments

Day trading with the best Stochastic Trading Strategy is the name of the strategy we’ll
discuss today. As the name suggests, this is a stochastic strategy suitable for day
traders. The stochastic strategy is much the same as the Day Trading Price Action –
Simple Price Action Strategy.

The only di erence this time around is that we incorporate a technical indicator into
this strategy. Namely, the stochastic indicator. This is the best Stochastic trading
strategy because you can identify market turning points with accurate precision.

Warning! This can turn you into a modern sniper elite trader. The Stochastic indicator
will only make you pull the trigger at the right time. A modern sniper elite trader only
pulls the trigger on a trade when he is certain he can pull a winning trade.

The Stochastic indicator is a momentum indicator that shows you how strong or weak
the current trend is. It helps you identify overbought and oversold market conditions
within a trend. The stochastic indicator should be easily located on most trading
platforms.

The Stochastic indicator looks like this:

to share this with our trading community recently.

Another reputable oscillator is the RSI indicator, which is similar to the Stochastic
indicator. We chose it over the RSI indicator because the Stochastic indicator puts more

weight on the closing price. This is the most important price no matter what market you
trade. This strategy can also be used to day trade stochastics with a high level of
accuracy.

Let me just quickly tell you how to use the stochastic indicator and how to interpret the
information given by this amazing tool so you can know what you’re trading. When the
stochastic moving averages are above the 80 line, we’re in the overbought territory.

Conversely, when the stochastic moving averages are below the 20 line, we’re in
oversold territory.

Please have a look at the chart example below to see how to use the stochastic
indicator.

So, how does the stochastic indicator work?

The stochastic oscillator uses a quite complex mathematical formula to calculate simple
moving averages:

%K = 100(C – L14)/(H14 – L14)

Where:

C = the most recent closing price


L14 = the low of the 14 previous trading sessions
H14 = the highest price traded during the same 14-day period

The mathematical formula behind this method works on the assumption that the
closing prices are more important in predicting oversold and overbought conditions in
the market. Based on this assumption the Stochastic indicator works to give you the
best trade signals you can possibly nd.

pen and note down the rules.

Let’s get started…..

Day trading with the best Stochastic


Trading Strategy

(Rules for a Buy Trade)

Step #1: Check the daily chart and make sure the
Stochastic indicator is below the 20 line and the %K
line crossed above the %D line.
We’re day trading, but having in mind the higher time frame sentiment and trend.

This is a crucial part of the strategy because we only want to be trading in the direction
of the higher time frame trend. Our team at Trading Strategy Guides.com has put a
great deal of time in developing the best guide to Trading Multiple Time Frames – The
Key to Successful Trading. The multiple time frame concept is important because it can
give you a more robust reading of the current price action and more it can help you
better time your entry and exit points.

Note*: On the daily chart, it’s not necessarily for the stochastic moving averages
to be below the 20 level. They can be moving away from the oversold territory
and the signal can still be valid, but it shouldn’t be above 50 level.

level. The %K line(blue line) crossed above the %D

This step is similar to the previous rule, but this time we apply the rules on the 15-
minute time frame: wait for the Stochastic indicator to hit the 20 level and the %Kline

(blue line) is crossing above the %D line (orange line). 

The 15-minute chart is the best time frame for day trading because is not too fast and
at the same time not too slow.

See gure below:

It is said that the market can stay in overbought and oversold condition longer than a
trader can stay solvent. So we want to take precautionary measures, and this brings us
to the next step on how to use the stochastic indicator.

Step #3: Wait for the Stochastic %K line (blue


moving average) to cross above the 20 level
We want to trade smarter, right?

Well, because the %k is the fast moving average it’s enough just to wait for it to cross
above the 20 level because the %D line will follow suit. We don’t want to wait too much
either as this will result in a reduced pro t margin.

Right now is the time you should switch your focus to the price action, which brings us
the next step of the best stochastic trading strategy.

Step #4: Wait for a Swing Low Pattern to develop on


the 15-Minute Chart
What is a Swing Low Pattern?

A Swing Low Pattern is a 3 bar pattern and is de ned as a bar that has one preceding
and one following bar with a higher low. Here is how to identify the right swing to boost
your pro t.

A visual representation of the Swing Low pattern can be seen below:

So far, so good, but still we haven’t answered the most important question that a trader
has:

Step #5: Entry Long When the Highest Point of the


Swing Low Pattern is Broken to the Upside

Nothing beats an illustration…

So, after following the rules of the Best Stochastic Trading Strategy, a buy signal is
only triggered once a breakout of the Swing Low Patterns occurs.

Let’s turn our focus again to the EUR/USD 15-minute chart presented earlier and see
how to use stochastic indicator in combination with the Swing Low Pattern.

See the chart below:

So at this point, your trade is running and in pro t.

most recent 15-minute Swing Low
You want to place your stop loss below the most recent low, like in the gure below. But
make sure you add a bu er of 5 pips away from the low, to protect yourself from
possible false breakouts.
Get Notifications

Step #6: Take Pro t at 2xSL


Knowing when to take pro t is as important as knowing when to enter a trade. The Best
Stochastic Trading Strategy uses a static take pro t, which is two times the amount of
your stop loss.

See gure below:

trading with the Best Stochastic Trading Strategy. Use the same
rules – but in reverse – for a sell trade. In the gure below you
