Precision Stochastic DivergenceThis indicator is designed to identify potential market turning points and continuations by detecting Regular and Hidden divergences between closing price action and the Stochastic momentum oscillator. It utilizes specific default parameters (Stochastic: 40,4,3; Pivot Lookback: 5,5 based on close) and incorporates specialized filtering logic for signal qualification.
Core Functionality & Features:
Divergence Detection: Identifies standard Regular (potential reversal) and Hidden (potential continuation) divergence patterns. Logic has been optimized for accurate detection of both types.
Precision Filter Mechanism (Regular Divergences): Employs a unique dual-level validation process:
Requires the initial pivot's Stochastic value (%D) to meet Overbought (>80) or Oversold (<20) criteria.
Requires the subsequent pivot's Stochastic value (%D) to reside within a precisely defined range (Default parameterization: Bullish 19-30, Bearish 70-81). This aims to filter divergences based on specific momentum conditions following an initial extreme reading.
Standard Filter (Hidden Divergences): Filters Hidden Divergence signals by requiring both associated Stochastic pivot values to remain outside the primary Overbought/Oversold zones (i.e., >20 for Bullish, <80 for Bearish).
Signal Plotting: Displays 'R' (Regular) and 'H' (Hidden) markers on the chart upon confirmation of filtered divergence conditions. Relevant Stochastic threshold levels and filter range boundaries are plotted for visual reference.
Configuration & Usage Notes:
Parameterization: The default settings (Stochastic: 40,4,3; Pivots: 5,5; Levels: 80/20; Ranges: 19-30 / 70-81) have been specifically calibrated. For optimal performance according to the intended methodology, modification of these core parameters is strongly discouraged.
EMA Filter: Note that EMA trend filtering functionality has been intentionally removed from this version of the indicator.
Applicable Timeframes: While adaptable, performance consistency has been observed on the Hourly (1H) timeframe. Lower intervals such as 6m and 10m are considered optimal secondary timeframes, with 5m and 15m also demonstrating viability depending on market conditions.
Instrument Applicability & Validation:
!!!WARNING FOR GOLD TRADERS!!!
Low time frame spot gold (xauusd) mysteriously proves to give more incorrect signals than every other asset I have tested although higher timeframes like hourlies still signal as intended. The reason MAY be because of not enough testing.
The underlying principle of Stochastic divergence is applicable to various instruments, including Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum) and Major Indices (SP500, NASDAQ, etc.).
However, the efficiency of this indicator's specific parameterization is contingent upon the volatility profile and price dynamics of the selected instrument.
Mandatory Validation: Rigorous backtesting and/or simulated trading on the specific instrument and timeframe is imperative prior to live deployment. This validation is crucial to ascertain performance characteristics and confirm alignment with individual trading plans and risk management protocols.

Exponential Stochastic Strategywhat is Exponential Stochastic?
it is a modified version of the stochastic indicator. This strategy does not include pyramiding, repaint, trailing stop or take profit.
what it does?
It contains an extra input in addition to the stochastic indicator. Thanks to this input, different exponential weights can be given to the outputs and the indicator can be made more sensitive or insensitive. The strategy buys when the indicator leaves the overbought zone, sells when it leaves the oversold zone and always stays in the trade.
how it does it?
it uses this formula: i.hizliresim.com
Thanks to this formula, even if the weights given to the outputs change, the indicator always continues to take a value between 0 and 100.
how to use it ?
With the input named "exp", you can change the sensitivity of the indicator and develop different strategies. other inputs are the same as the stochastic indicator. Increasing the exp value causes the indicator to signal less, decreasing it makes it much more sensitive.
All TimeFrame OscillatorsI have always fighted to understand the market direction because it looks different on different timeframes.
I wanted an indicator where I can see all the different timeframes at once.
This indicator shows already existing oscillators but not only in the current chart's timeframe, but all the most important higer timeframes at once.
I have started with the stoch, then added as many oscillators as I could.
Experimenting with this I have saw that confluence of 4H 1D and 1W Stoch can be very interesting and can highlight higher timeframe take profit areas and sometimes major tops/bottoms.
Also bounces can be interesting when a lower timeframe stoch is bounced or rejected from a higher one.
Oscillators:
Stoch - Stochastic Oscillator
SMI - Stochastic Momentum Index
Rsi - Relative Strength Index
StochRsi - Stochastic RSI
WaveTrend - Vumanchu alias Market Cypher Wave Trend line
CCI - Commodity Channel Index

Line Type
Smooth: lines are smoothed, but the actualy not closed values are not shown
Step: Step lines, the actually open timeframes are calculated as they closed at the current values
Plot Oscillator or it's Slope:
its possible to not plot the oscillator but it's slope
Print dots when:
Cross Up/Down oversold/overbougt level - best for most oscillators. for example when Stoch crosses above 20 or below 80
Cross os/ob and the one higher TF is about to cross - when it's crosses beolw 80 and the higher timeframe oscillator is still above ans sloping down
Cross above/below middle line - for example on RSI being above or below 50 can be interesting
Print triangles when:
All Slope Match - all visible timeframe lines are pointing up or down at the same time
All above/belove middle line - all visible lines are above or belove the middle line
All above/belove middle line and slope match - like the previous one and the slope direction is the same
All above/below oversold/overbougt - all lines are above or below os/ ob. this is the default. it can be a very important confluence
Lower TF in order - 5, 15, 30, 60 minute timeframes are in order.
Higher TF in order - 4H 1D 1W in order (like 4H above 1D abd 1D above 1W). can be interesting at RSI
4H-1D in order - 4H 1D in order .
Print triangles
Print all triangles - print all triangles when the condition is met
Print only first triangles - only show when the condition starts to met
Print only last triangles - small triangles when the condition met first, large when last. tis is the default.
Timeframes to show:
You can turn on/off different timeframs to show or not from the list below:
1m 5m 15m 30m 1H 4H D 5D W M
This is for experimenting/ understanding the market direction on multiple timeframes at once.
Don't take it's signals (and any other indicator's) as exact trade signals. use it as confirmation instead.
Any comments, insights, ideas are welcome.
