Stochastic ROC Metatrader 5 Forex Indicator

    The Stochastic_ROC is short for the Stochastic Rate-of-Change MT5 indicator and is built on the Stochastic, just as the name suggest.

    Clearly, the indicator is designed to allow us gauge overbought and oversold market conditions, but traders must allow themselves in on the right settings.

    The Rate-of-Change (ROC) is not needed for calculations, since the indicator calculates itself:

    If Type = Absolute Stochastic, then ROC = ((Stochastic(Now) – Stochastic(Prev)),

    If Type = Relative Stochastic, then ROC = ((Stochastic(Now) – Stochastic(Prev)) / Stochastic(Prev))*100

    ROC:

    ROC = ((CLOSE (i) – CLOSE (i – n)) / CLOSE (i – n)) * 100

    CLOSE (i) – the price of closing the current bar;

    CLOSE (i – n) – the close price n bars ago;
