Stochastic / EMA crossover Strategy For ThinkOrSwim

[MerryDay]

A poster asked for an 'example' of a combined strategy using Stochastic and EMA. I googled the combination and found this:
https://www.tradingpedia.com/forex-trading-strategies/combining-stochastic-oscillator-and-emas/
I translated that site's strategy into the following script.

CAVEAT: I haven't used this strategy. I am posting it as an 'example' of a combined strategy. I strongly advocate looking at fundamentals, long term trend lines, and current news on an equity before entering a trade. If trading this strategy I would suggest adding a cycle and/or market strength indicator and support and resistance lines to your charts.

When copying this script MAKE SURE you save it as a STRATEGY (the tab next to Study)

Doesn't seem to work?? What time frame is needed?

@csricksdds Make sure you saved it as a strategy.

@csricksdds Make sure you saved it as a strategy.

Bingo...thank you so much!!!

 

[Rickyman94]

Thanks for the effort @MarryDay, this looks great. Does it repaint?

 

[MerryDay]

@Rickyman94 There is nothing in this strategy that should cause repainting.

I am 79 and so much of what you and others do here is way over my head . I would just like to thank you and the others here for all your hard work to help others like myself .
