The more I use the Stoch indicator the more I like it. I've been using it with RSI as well and when both indicators are in agreement it becomes a very strong indicator. It's just a matter of looking at price action etc as to when too enter the market.
For example between 12.30 and 1.15, 15m timeframe, the market bounced three times off 1.5150 and the Stoch and RSI indicators had both been bottomed out for some time. Entered long at 1.5167 and then used Fib Retracement from 7.30 high to 1.00 low for taking profits, it just depends on how confident you are in the market moving with you, bailed out when market reached 38.2% retracment, 1.5209, with the Stoch topping out close to 90.000.
Set both indicators up on your charts and watch it for a while to get an idea for how they react to different market conditions.
You could have bailed much later, its well past your 61.8% level now. I thought it might get to 215 again, just shows. What it does show is that your Stoch indicators are still high - over 90 for the last hour odd, with no fall - yet.
If I hadn't had to go out I might have trailed a stop, I can't do this automatically with Capital Spreads. I'm quite happy waiting for the signals and taking 10 or 40 pips at a time had 30 pips this morning and 40 this afternoon.
No indicator is 100%, a lot of the time it only retraces to the 38.2% mark and then turns around, I just play it safe.
This indicator might not suit everyone it's just something to keep an eye on. :idea:
The white backround and white text is hard to see. (ie just get a blank screen)!
My Mistake and apologies for the inconvenience, I have now corrected it.

Hope you enjoyed the ride !
I can't remember which of the many mini versions of NT it may be called now, but, these days I always split my trade. So the initial trade is for just a 20 pip limit, then the second is for a 25 or 30 limit depending how the charts look, and it enters above my original limit with a one pip gap in-between. So if there are any early spikes going I have been lucky to bag a quick 20 pips often by soon after 7.00 a.m.
Why don't some of you lads try that and you may not have so many days like today where you have a disappointing 7 or 11 pips when you have seen the candles rise a good way above that level spiking?
Its nice to bank an early 100 quid even though the market may struggle in general over the early hours.
A thought anyway

Because of my schedule I regularly do a 6am – 8am slot and it still works!
:cheesy:
Oh yes thanks, was very nice, you short too I guess :clap:
Yup stayed with it until it met support at around 12900 but should have stuck around ,
missed out on another 60 pips , can't win em all I suppose .
