Stochastic Cross Alert Indicator Explanation

Stochastic Indicator does all the Stochastics analysis in the background and extracts the signals by plotting simple up/downward arrows around the price candles. It signals the oversold condition of the market by plotting the upward arrow below the price bar when the stochastics value drops below 20.

For the oversold signal, it plots a red downward arrow above the price bar when Stochastics’ value rises above 80. Once you get an arrow signal from the indicator, you should wait until the current price candle closes so that you can match the signal with the candlestick patterns.
