    About The Trading Indicators

    The Stochastic Indicator is a momentum oscillator that is attributed to George Lane.

    The indicator is made up of two lines, the %K fast line and the %D slow line, while it oscillates between 1 and 100.

    Essentially, the Stochastic gauges the relationship between an assets closing price and its price range over a specified time period.

    The Buysellarrowscalper.ex4 custom indicator is a trend following indicator that changes its color between a red downward pointing arrow (with upward spikes place on its red line) aligned above price bars to depict a bears market and a dodgerblue upward pointing arrow (with downward spikes place on its dodgerblue line) aligned below price bars to trigger a buy market.
