If you want to get started in forex trading, swing trading systems are a great place to start and a stochastic swing trading system can be learned in a few days and then you will be ready to make big profits…
Before we discuss the stochastic indicator, let’s see why swing trading is an ideal place for novice traders to start their trading careers.
There are two main reasons:
1. You get a lot of trades and don’t have the patience to follow long-term trends
2. You make profits and losses quickly, so it requires less discipline than trend following.
So let’s see how the system will work.
Swing trading simply aims to take advantage of overbought and oversold scenarios, to buy oversold markets and sell overbought markets.
Stochastic is perfect for this.
Let’s quickly go over the technical side and keep in mind that you don’t need to understand math to use it, just like you don’t need to know how an internal combustion engine works to drive a car: it’s a visual. indicator, you can find it on any free chart service and anyone can spot the setups.
This technical indicator is based on the assumption that when a financial instrument is in an uptrend it tends to approach the high than when it is down, where the reverse scenario applies, i.e. it tends to close near its lows.
How the indicator is plotted
Stochastic is made up of %K lines, which is a fast line, and %D, which is a slow line.
The %K line is more sensitive than %D
The %D line is a moving average of %K.
The %D line gives the actual trading signal
It sounds a bit geeky, but just think about the way a moving average is plotted, then think of the %K as a fast moving average and the %D as a slow moving average. 80% and above is considered overbought and 20% below is oversold. .
Here we are going to see stochastic crosses with bullish or bearish divergence, from overbought or oversold levels. A trader would look to buy when the %K line moves above the %D line and sell when the %K line moves below the %D line. The best crossover is when the following occurs: The %K line crosses after the peak of the %D line (a crossover to the right). To reduce false signals, only take signals that occur in overbought or oversold zones.
Your stochastic system would be the following.
1. Watch support and resistance levels to turn them off
2. Check how overbought or oversold the stochastic is, i.e. is it at one extreme?
3. Wait and hit the crossover
4. Place the stop behind resistance or support
5. Look to take your profits early, i.e. before it hits the next support or resistance
Simple Target Cash
The above is extremely simple, but all the best forex trading systems are. You may want to consider combining Stochastic with other indicators.
Combining with other indicators
The perfect index is the Relative Strength Index (RSI) as they complement each other and the Bollinger Band to indicate volatility and targets.
anyone can do it
Stochastic swing trading is easy to do and can make big profits, so learn more about this great indicator and create your own stochastic system for forex trading success.
