    The Stochastic Indicator

    The settings I recommend are 5,3,3. For a short going to a long, you will see a spike down as the signal prior to the trend (long) commencing. the MAV5 does a dip, then RSI, then MAV30. The Xover of MAV5 on MAV30 was what we used to show the D to A shift. The RSI falling between the two...
