Overview

A swing strategy using the Stochastic oscillator to time entries from overbought/oversold zones, filtered by a higher-timeframe trend. It buys oversold %K/%D crosses in uptrends and sells overbought crosses in downtrends, catching swing pivots with momentum confirmation.

Features

• Stochastic Oscillator (14, 3, 3)
• EMA100 (trend filter)
• ATR(14)
• Configurable stop-loss, take-profit, and trailing logic
• Session, spread, and news-time filters for disciplined execution
• One-trade-per-bar / duplicate-signal protection
• Clean, single-file MQL4 and MQL5 implementations
• No hidden logic — every input is exposed and documented
• No martingale, no grid, no hidden recovery logic

Trading Strategy

Entry logic: – Long: price > EMA100 (uptrend). Stochastic %K crosses above %D while both below 20 (oversold). Enter on cross bar close.

• Short: price < EMA100. %K crosses below %D while both above 80 (overbought).

Exit logic: – Exit when Stochastic reaches the opposite extreme (>80 for longs / <20 for shorts) or on opposite cross.

Stop-loss: SL beyond the recent swing low/high or 1.5 × ATR, whichever is tighter.

Take-profit: TP at 2R; optional runner exited at the opposite Stochastic extreme.

Trailing stop: Trail behind swing points once 1.5R is reached.

Break-even: Break-even at 1R.
