Stochastichs: Slow, Fast, Full?

What kind of stochastics should be used in the chart?


Stochastics is an oscillator that shows overbought and oversold conditions.

There are three types of settings: fast, slow and full. 

Fast Stochastics

%K is set to 3. This is the fast moving line in the indicator.

Slow Stochastics

%D is set to 3. This is the slow moving line in the indicator.

Full Stochastics

The full stochastics includes both %K settings, %D settings as well as the day period that the indicator takes into consideration (5-day, 10-day...)

The recommended full stochastics setting for swing trading is 12,3,3 (Period= 12, %K= 3, %D= 3)

The recommended full stochastics setting for day trading is 5,2,2 (Period= 5, %K= 2, %D= 2)

Please bear in mind that stochastics oscillator is a lagging indicator.

In addiiton stochastics only takes into consideration price and time. It does not include volume into its formula. Therefore it is an limited indicator.

Good trading!

Bitcoin and Ethereum Funds: Two Unusual Activities That Could Result in a Big Move

Today we take a look at the technicals for Bitcoin and Ethereum. The crypto market has been quiet for several months.   On Friday we detected unusual dark pool activities (large block orders) in the Bitcoin Trust Fund and Ethereum Trust Fund, GBTC and ETHE respectively. When smart money know something, they place large orders in the dark pool exchanges, away from the public eye. By doing so, they are positioning themselves ahead of the crowds, in order to benefit from move that will follow, once the news or report is made public. However, dark pool activities   do not   tell us the direction of the next move. It only tell us that a large order(s) has been placed. Only a breakout (bullish) about a resistance level, or a breakdown (bearish) below a support level can confirm the direction of the next move. So, what can we expect next?
