A Non-Repainting Forex Entry Indicator Using Stochastic Crossovers

Summary

This document describes a ProRealTime conversion of a forex entry indicator that is intended to avoid repainting. The signal uses a stochastic oscillator and a smoothed stochastic line, with fixed overbought and oversold zones. It marks a potential upward entry when the lines cross in the oversold zone and a potential downward entry when they cross in the overbought zone. Two versions are presented: an earlier histogram display and a later version that draws arrows on the price chart.

The source contrasts the conversion with an original indicator that revises recent signals as new quotes arrive, making historical signals more favorable than signals available in real time. It supplies implementation logic but no backtest, market examples, or evidence of profitability. Non-repainting behavior addresses one signal-display issue, but it does not establish predictive value or control trading risk. The document does not specify stop placement, position sizing, market conditions, or validation procedures, so the indicator alone is not a complete strategy.

Key ideas

• The indicator generates signals from stochastic crossovers within overbought and oversold zones.
• An upward signal occurs on a bearish-to-bullish crossover in the oversold zone.
• A downward signal occurs on a bullish-to-bearish crossover in the overbought zone.
• The ProRealTime conversion is presented as avoiding the original indicator’s repainting behavior.
• The document provides code but no performance tests or risk-management rules.
