The double stochastic is a different formula than a regular stochastic. Changing the parameters of a regular stochastic won’t simulate the double stochastic. You need to actually imped the regular stochastic within another stochastic formula. You might be able to find the formula already written in eSignal if you google around or check the forums.

Read your article with great interest.
I have access to the standard Stochastics on eSignal with inputs %K, %K, %D for modifying it.
What are the parameters for the %K, %K, %D for the Double Stochastic.
Thanks….Daniel

Hi,
The writeup(s) are well conceptualized and content is very helpful in expressing the viewpoints. Great Work, Appreciate the same.
On the issue of not giving any parameter settings etc., i agree that these are proprietory studies and one should set up what’s workable for them, however if you could provide any info or links to obtain such parameter settings in order to further understand the subject shall be just great. Once again, great work.

Is there a ninja scriptfile available for the Double Stochastin indicator?

I’ve been using the 10 period double stochastic (DS) to trade the QQQQ, by waiting for the 60 minute DS to turn up thru 10 (or down thru 90) then entering each time the direction of the 15 minute DS aligns with the direction of the 60 minute DS (i.e when the 60 and 15 minute DS’s are both rising or falling). But as your article addresses, I have been missing extended rallies as the DS’s stay overbought (or oversold). So per your example, I’ve overlaid both the 5 and 10 period DS’s (in both timeframes), and will see if that makes a difference in terms of:
1. Good Long entries using 5 DS dips when the 10 DS is ‘overbought’
2. Using the 5 DS for a slighly earlier long entry (i.e while the 10 DS is less than 10 and flat, but not yet turned up).

It looks like you use 80/20 for your upper/lower crossovers (vs my 90/10). I’ll have to watch for which works better with both DS’s.

Also combining two DS’s in two time frames may create confusing signals or may add additional confirmation …. time will tell.

Hi there!
Interesting article! How do you set up a double stochastic like that? I have a normal charting package and can make changes to the Stochastics.
I’d appreciate your help!
Thanks!
Hank
