nothing more than a momentum crossover system with a stochastic like filter to keep you in the trend

Hmm... What exactly is a momentum crossover system? If it's analogous to moving average crossovers, then the buy signal would be when, for example, the 5-day momentum crosses over the 20-day momentum. Is that the idea, or am out in left field here?

Hmm... Suggestions on how to use stochastics to keep you in the trend? Perhaps use a larger time-frame and then make sure the value is within a certain range?

Thanks all,

Using stochastic as a trend indicator requires that it be modified. Several well known charting programs package it in this fashion so it is nothing new. Usually a 14 period %K and a 7 period %D is a good place to start. It uses two functions as posted below. I'll send an ela if requested.Shorter periods produce a very smooth oscillator and Using a longer %D than %k is also something worth looking at it produces interesting crosses of K and D.

Code:

Type : Function, Name : TAFastK

Inputs: AvgLen(NumericSimple),Length(NumericSimple);

Value1 = Lowest(Average(Low,AvgLen),Length);
Value2 = Highest(Average(High,AvgLen),Length) - Value1;
Value3 = Average(Close,AvgLen);

if Value2 > 0 then
TAFastK = (Value3 - Value1) / Value2*100
else

TAFastK = 0;

Type : Function, Name : TAFastD

Inputs: AvgLen(NumericSimple),Length(NumericSimple);
Vars: Factor(0);

if CurrentBar <=1
then begin
Factor = 2 / (3 + 1);
TAFastD = TAFastK(AVGLEN, LENGTH);
end
else
TAFastD = TAFastD[1] + (Factor * (TAFastK(AVGLEN,LENGTH) - TAFastD[1]));

Type : Indicator, Name : TAStoch Indicator

Input: AvgLen(13), LengthK(5), LengthD(9);

Plot1 ( TAFastK(AVGLEN, LENGTHK),"TAK");
Plot2 (TAFastD(AVGLEN, LENGTHD),"TAD");
Plot3 (35,"BuyZone");
Plot4 (80,"SellZone");
