I am trying to create a personal criteria formula for Stochastics 20, sk10, sd8, turning UP

through a reversal.

Is the Stochastic Simple or Exponential?

Are you interested in the SK switching from going down to going up or in the SD switching from going down to going up?

It's simple and I'm interested in SD, which I think is the short term indicator, going up through

SK, and from going down to going up. I need help on this because although I've been a subscriber

for many years, I haven't done much in this area.

The SK is actually faster than the SD because the SK is a moving average of the raw stochastic and the SD is a moving average of the SD.

A Personal Criteria Formula for a Simple Stochastic 20,10,8 SK crossing up through its SD could be written as:

STOC20.10 > AVG(STOC20.10,8) AND STOC20.10.1 <= AVG(STOC20.10.1,8)

A PCF for a Simple Stochastic 20,10,8 SD crossing up through its SK could be written as:

AVG(STOC20.10,8) > STOC20.10 AND AVG(STOC20.10.1,8) <= STOC20.10.1

A PCF for a Simple Stochastic 20,10 SK going up during the current bar after going down during the previous bar could be written as:

STOC20.10 > STOC20.10.1 AND STOC20.10.1 < STOC20.10.2

A PCF for a Simple Stochastic 20,10,8 SD going up during the current bar after going down during the previous bar could be written as:

AVG(STOC20.10,8) > AVG(STOC20.10.1,8) AND AVG(STOC20.10.1,8) < AVG(STOC20.10.2,8)

What I have noticed over time is trhat stochastics seems to "lead" a move in stocks.

In example, in ARNA, stochastics crossed before the stock moved higher. I  don't know if

there is any significance here but I have noticed it a number of tlimes. On MACD, it seems to

follow stochastics. Comments?

The trainers can't give setting, interpretation or investment advice.
