so - to match AC zero and Stoch level 50 (no way zero, off course) - you have to resat AC max/min each chart screen on each TF on each currency...
4example - put RSI and MACD in one window, scroll back and force and look how they "rob" against each other - cross been here, slight market move or your mouse move - and cross gone to other place...

I am a newbie with strategies (though I'm good in programming ), I have a very newbie question regarding the Stochastic indicator.

As you've pointed out above, go short when AC is below zero and Stot is also below zero.

My question is that the Stot value in the chart is always positive and never goes under zero. Do you actually mean that the zero is not the Stot value itself but actually referring to both Stot lines crossing the zero AC line?

I also see an upper limit (80) and a lower limit (20). Can it also mean that "below zero" means the Stot value is below the lower limit line?

Thanks

When digesting the code, I found out that the author has put something like if Stot<0, go short - thus the no-trade as the Stot value never goes below zero.

fxbs' explanation is much clearer if one's intention is to write the EA.

I am currently re-writing OzFx's EA from scratch with the money management feature as per his original methodology. I am forward-testing it now for bugs. Once it is certified as working, I will post it here.

You should have better criteria
