    7 Steps (or Less) on How To Use Stochastics
    | TradingMarkets.com | June 7, 2006
    Stocks RSS

    Strategy 1: Oversold/Overbought

    1. Set your stochastics for 8,3,3 and use 80 for overbought and 20 for oversold.

    2. Buy when %K and %D are oversold (below 20). Exit your position when stochastics become overbought.

    3. Sell when %K and %D are overbought (above 80). Exit your position when stochastics become oversold.


    Strategy 2: Crossover

    4. Buy when %K and %D are oversold (below 20) and then rise above this level. Exit your position when stochastics become overbought.

    5. Sell when %K and %D are overbought (above 80) and then fall back below this level. Exit your position when stochastics become oversold.
     

    Strategy 3: Positive/Negative Divergence

    6. Buy when you see positive stochastic divergence (price lower, stochastics higher). Exit your position when stochastics become overbought.

    7. Sell when you see negative stochastic divergence (price higher, stochastics lower). Exit your position when stochastics become oversold.

    Here is another good trading technique using stochastics.
