Rob, I have been studying "Trading thoughts of 2009" with interest, its similar to what I have been working on of late (but your more advanced). I notice you use Stochastic 15,5,3,80,20. I can see where the 80 & 20 fit in but where does 15,5,3 fit ? On my charting program I can only change the look back period ie 14 units, 10 units etc. I have been useing 3 indicators which must be in sync MACD,RSI & Stochastics to pick pivot points (swing trades) I have tried useing time by degrees (Gann) and the square of nine but found it time consuming so over years dropped it---- but still find it very interesting. Cheers
