Stochastic + Keltner Channels for Scalping
Simple arrow indicator, indicating the direction go the next slight movement. This indicator will work on any time frame or market.
How does this indicator work?
It will use Stochastic and Keltner Channels to detect potential reversals depending on the frequency you choose in the indicator's settings. The higher the frequency, the fewer candles will be used in the calculation.
When to use this indicator?
It will work better in higher time frames for low volatility indicators. You can mix with other indicators like RSI or ADX. This way, you will be able to check if the time selected frame has enough volatility to move the price enough to cover the spreads and fees of your broker.
When to exit the trade after the signal from this indicator?
A good target would be for 1x ATR value and stop-loss 2x the ATR value. Doing trailing stop will reduce your risk and secure some profits, but make sure to use values for possible fakeouts
Can this indicator be used alone as the main source of entry signal for the trades?
You can use it alone, but I recommend mixing with other trend-based indicators, like Moving Averages, so you get the best results. Since it's for scalping purposes, small moments, and reversals, it doesn't have the trend filter, but it can work trading in favor of a significant trend as well
