technical analyst- learn about stochastic oscillator

Stochastic is one indicator that helps us to estimate when the trend will end.
Stochastic definition is: An oscillator (to measure the movement up and down) that measures overbought and oversold conditions in the market. Two Stochastic lines similar to the MACD line, the line which one is faster than the other.


How to apply stochastic

Stochastic showing overbought and oversold conditions on a scale from 0 to 100. When the stochastic line above 80, means the market is in overbought conditions (a good indication to open a sell position). And when the Stochastic is below 20, meaning the market in oversold conditions (a good indication for the open buy position.)
