Hi,

Anyone knows of stochastic based EA here in forex-TSD? I'm learning to develop my own EA so I need the mq4 example of how to reference stochastic indicator in an EA.

Regards,

double iStochastic( string symbol, int timeframe, int %Kperiod, int %Dperiod, int slowing, int method, int price_field, int mode, int shift)
Calculates the Stochastic oscillator and returns its value.
Parameters:
symbol - Symbol the data of which should be used to calculate indicator. NULL means the current symbol.
timeframe - Timeframe. It can be any of Timeframe enumeration values. 0 means the current chart timeframe.
%Kperiod - %K line period.
%Dperiod - %D line period.
slowing - Slowing value.
method - MA method. It can be any ofMoving Average method enumeration value.
price_field - Price field parameter. Can be one of this values: 0 - Low/High or 1 - Close/Close.
mode - Indicator line index. It can be any of the Indicators line identifiers enumeration value.
shift - Index of the value taken from the indicator buffer (shift relative to the current bar the given amount of periods ago).
Sample:

if(iStochastic(NULL,0,5,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_MAIN,0 )>iStochastic(NULL,0,5,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_SIGNAL, 0))
return(0);

May be i am wrong but it should be 1 instead of 0.
because 0 is open current bar.

For example:

if(iStochastic(NULL,0,5,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_MAIN,1 )>iStochastic(NULL,0,5,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_SIGNAL , 1))

If you use current bar information, you use 0. If you use closed bars only, you use 1. That example was taken from the posted link.
