There Are 3 Main Ways To Trade Using Stochastic Indicator


Trading by watching levels 20 and 80
Trading by the crosses of fast %k line with slow %D line
Trading by drawing support line and resistance line on stochastic indicator

Firstly : Trading by watching the levels 20 and 80



If the price reached to 80 area and came from top to bottom ,at this case we prepare for selling , The meaning if the currency reached to increased buying level or buying saturation that means there are possible selling signal when stochastic indicator in or above of 80 level , but sure that is not mean you sell in every time if the price hit 80 level , it's possible be fake

If the price reached to 20 area and came from bottom to top,at this case we prepare for buying , The meaning if the currency reached to increased selling level or selling saturation that means there are possible buying signal when stochastic indicator in or under 20 level , but sure that is not mean you buy in every time if the price hit 20 level , it's possible be fake

Secondly : Trading by the crosses of fast %k line with slow %D line



Buying Signal : Firstly we see the cross of the green line %k with the red Moving line %D from bottom to top , it's preferrable to buy if the cross between 0 to 30 area and the %k coming from bottom to top

Selling Signal : Firstly we see the cross of the green line %k with the red Moving line %D from top to bottom, it's preferrable to sell if the cross between 100 to 70 area and the %k coming from top to bottom

Thirdly : Trading by drawing support line and resistance line on stochastic indicator


Selling Signal : we draw support line on stochastic indicator at top where 80 area if it broke the support to bottom we sell

buying Signal : we draw resistance line on stochastic indicator at bottom where 20 area if it broke the support to bottom we buy
