How to read it

  • Above 80 is overbought, below 20 oversold; it reaches extremes more often than RSI.
  • %K crossing %D in an extreme zone is a common timing signal.
  • Best combined with the higher-timeframe trend to filter signals.

Key settings

  • K 3, D 3, RSI length 14, stochastic length 14, RSI source close.
  • Levels 80 / 20 with a zone; extremes coloured.
