Description
The Stochastic Overbought/Oversold strategy is based on the Stochastic Full technical indicator. The Stochastic Full study is an oscillator based on the observation that as prices increase, closing prices tend to be closer to the upper end of the price range. In downtrends, the closing price tends to be near the lower end of the range. The strategy adds a simulated Buy order when the Stochastic Full crosses above the oversold level and a simulated Sell order when it crosses below the overbought level.
