Open Buy Trade on Higher Stochastic

Q:

I’d like to open a buy trade if the value of the Stochastic Oscillator of the present bar is higher than the value the Stochastic Oscillator had with the previous bar.

 

How can I get these values?

 

A:

Just use the “shift” parameter to get the correct value – for the current candle, and any other candle.




When you change the shift value, save the function with a new name that makes sense, like “stoch_current”, “stoch_last”, etc.
