Master Stochastics using TradingView’s charting tools in this comprehensive tutorial from Optimus Futures.
The Stochastic Oscillator is a momentum indicator that helps traders identify potential turning points in the market by comparing the current closing price to the recent high–low range. It’s designed to show when momentum may be shifting from buyers to sellers — or vice versa.
What You’ll Learn:
- Understanding the Stochastic Oscillator as a momentum tool plotted from 0 to 100
- How the %K line represents the current close relative to the recent high–low range
- How the %D line acts as a moving average of %K and serves as a signal line
- Key thresholds: readings above 80 suggest overbought conditions, while below 20 suggest oversold conditions
- Why overbought and oversold levels are not automatic buy or sell signals — and how strong trends can keep Stochastics extended
- Identifying bullish and bearish crossovers between %K and %D
- Spotting bullish and bearish divergence between price and momentum
- Using Stochastics to confirm trend direction across different timeframes
- How to add Stochastics on TradingView via the Indicators menu
- Understanding the default settings (14, 3, 3) and how adjusting them affects responsiveness
- Practical examples on the E-mini S&P 500 futures chart
- Applying Stochastics across multiple timeframes — daily, weekly, or intraday — for confirmation signals
This tutorial will benefit futures traders, swing traders, and technical analysts who want to incorporate Stochastics into their trading process.
The concepts covered may help you identify momentum shifts, potential reversal zones, and trend confirmations across different markets and timeframes.
