If you're looking to sharpen your trading strategy, the Stochastic Convergence Divergence indicator for MetaTrader 5 is a powerful tool worth considering. This handy indicator displays two stochastics, complete with adjustable smoothing options and a convergence/divergence line for the %K lines of both stochastics.

Let’s break down its adjustable settings:

  • Calculation Mode - Choose how the indicator calculates and displays data.
    • Two Stochastics - This mode uses two stochastics with predefined parameters.
    • Stoch1/Stoch2 Divergence - Shows %K lines for both stochastics with predefined parameters, along with the convergence/divergence line.
  • First Stochastic %K Period - Sets the calculation period for the first stochastic %K line.
  • First Stochastic %D Period - Defines the calculation period for the first stochastic %D line.
  • First Stochastic Slowing - Adjusts the smoothing calculation period for the first stochastic.
  • First Stochastic %K-Smoothing Type - Choose how you want to smooth the first stochastic %K line:
    • Simple - Basic smoothing method.
    • Exponential - Uses exponential smoothing.
    • Fast - A quicker smoothing option.
  • First Stochastic %D-Smoothing Type - Select the smoothing type for the first stochastic %D line:
    • Simple - Basic smoothing method.
    • Exponential - Exponential smoothing method.
  • Second Stochastic %K Period - Sets the calculation period for the second stochastic %K line.
  • Second Stochastic %D Period - Defines the calculation period for the second stochastic %D line.
  • Second Stochastic Slowing - Adjusts the smoothing calculation for the second stochastic.
  • Second Stochastic %K-Smoothing Type - Choose the smoothing option for the second stochastic %K line:
    • Simple - Basic smoothing.
    • Exponential - Exponential smoothing.
    • Fast - Faster smoothing method.
  • Second Stochastic %D-Smoothing Type - Select the smoothing type for the second stochastic %D line:
    • Simple - Basic smoothing method.
    • Exponential - Exponential smoothing.
  • Overbought - Set the overbought level.
  • Oversold - Set the oversold level.
