Color Stochastic Indicator
MT4Also Available for MT5Color Stochastic Indicator: Predict reversals using closing prices, and track overbought/oversold levels. Customize with various settings.
Description
The Color stochastic operates much like the stochastic oscillator but with a slight modification. It functions as a momentum indicator that compares a specific closing price of a financial asset with a range of its prices during a designated timeframe.
By comparing the closing price with historical price movements, the indicator aims to anticipate potential price reversal points. These points are colored green for a bearish reversal and red for a bullish reversal.
The color stochastic indicator, a dual-line tool applicable to any chart, fluctuates from 0 to 100. This indicator illustrates how the current price stacks against the uppermost and lowermost prices during a predetermined earlier span.
This time frame typically encompasses 14 individual periods. For instance, on a weekly chart, this would equate to 14 weeks, while on an hourly chart, it would translate to 14 hours.
You can get information about oversold and overbought conditions from the indicator. The indicator turns green when the market is overbought. When the market is oversold, the indicator turns red.
How to Use the Color Stochastics
The Color Stochastic works the same as a traditional Stochastic. However, this indicator helps to identify the oversold and overbought regions with color coding. Hence, the beginner traders may easily use it.
Let’s take a look at the following chart:
The long setup appears when the indicator line turns red, showing oversold conditions. A strong bullish candle validates the entry. Enter long on the candle close, put stop-loss slightly below the low of the bullish candle while your take profit can be the next horizontal level or when the indicator hits the overbought zone.
Here’s the short entry setup confirmed by the green mark of Color Stochastic as it hits the overbought zone. Wait for a bearish candle to close and then enter. Place the stop-loss just above the high of the bearish candle. Exit in profit at the next support level or wait for the indicator to reach the oversold area.
Conclusion
The Color Stochastic indicator for MT4 gives you color-coded information on the nature of the market, whether it is overbought or oversold. It also shows you possible reversal points to incorporate into your trading strategy.
