The stochastics indicator is also a price action indicator.It is compared to the price indicator, posted in the chart below. Stochastic is used by professionals and bank traders.They use it on daily and 4 hour charts.There are less false signals on 28/6/10 settings
Please take this free knowledge and wisdom from the thread, to improve your trading.
The technical analysis is already available on the free charts .The stochastic indicator is already doing the price action analysis on most trader's charts.This eliminates the need for price action candle by candle,analysis for longer term swing traders and trend traders.
stochastics will result in demise of charlatan price action educators..Avoid quacks and charlatan educators.
make up your own mind ,I am providing evidence
just put this on mt4 and compile
