What period to set On Intraday Stochastics

A

Hey. I'm trying to find a nice period of Stochastics to trade the NQ on Intraday charts.
What would be a reliable period to use.
Or what do you take into account when you are trying to set an Stochastic period.

Thanks
 
How do you want to use/interpret it? Some people use it for divergence and some for the %k/%d crossover for entrance. I've found a longer term works better for crossover because less whipsawing. A shorter one works better for divergence intraday I think for divergence because it's more sensitive.
As for myself I use the default esignal slow stochastics and use it for divergence. I hope his helps.
 
I use both 14,3,3 exponential and 38,9,9 expeonential on a 1 minute chart with SLOWD only coloured red/blue depending on whether going up or down..


If both going up, up, both down , Down and mixed? look at MACD.
See attached chart..
