Three-Timeframe Stochastic Signals for Trend-Aligned Entries

Summary

This trading system combines three Stochastic indicators operating on different timeframes. Two indicators establish directional bias by comparing each Stochastic reading with its signal line. A third, lower-timeframe indicator provides the entry trigger when it crosses the medium- and higher-timeframe indicators in the direction of that bias. The signal is evaluated at bar close.

The document identifies AUD/USD tests on several intraday chart intervals in 2015, but supplies no numerical performance results in the text. Those tests used default Expert Advisor inputs and did not use stop-loss or take-profit orders, so they do not demonstrate how the system behaves with explicit trade exits or under different settings. The description also references a trading library that supports nonzero spreads and attaching stop-loss and take-profit levels when opening positions. No rules for position sizing, validation across market regimes, or transaction-cost analysis are given.

Key ideas

• Two Stochastic indicators define trend direction by their positions relative to signal lines.
• A lower-timeframe Stochastic crossing supplies an entry signal aligned with the higher-timeframe readings.
• Signals are formed at bar close.
• The cited testing covers AUD/USD on intraday timeframes in 2015, but the document gives no performance figures.
• The described tests omit stop-loss and take-profit orders, limiting what they establish about risk and exits.
