Are You Able to Use Stochastics for Day Trading?

Forex, by Escon deOjo.

There are so many indicators available in technical charting it is infrequently tough to know which to use. Often we are accustomed to seeing stochastics given in examples of trends on daily chart, making reference to the price at the close of each day . However, there’s little to stop a day trader from simply changing the period of time to fit with the 15 minute, five minute or maybe the one minute chart. The stochastic indicator is then just as handy for a day trader as it might be for a trader following long term trends. Stochastics measure the difference between the last closing price and the price movement over a certain prior number of time periods. It appears to be a magic number for oscillating signals, giving an adequately long range to be relatively correct without being so long that it loses relevance for the current time.
