Here ya go.... from my MetaStock SIG archives:
===================================================
Stochastic Simianer@xxxxxxxxxxx (Thomas Simianer) : %K = 5/3, 15/9
and 25/18, all with %D = 3
I search for shares with the %K=25 crossing above its %D. This should
happen below the oversold-level of 20, or at least below 50. At the
same time the 15/9-stochastic should be in an uptrend and ahead of the
25/18. The 5/3-stochastic should also be climbing and have the
highest value of all.
These are the conditions for an exploration. The stocks meeting these
conditions will be analysed with other indicators (i´m using mainly
ROC, Stochastic RSI, MACD, KST ).
Sometimes you get a buy signal of two stochastics, but the third
doesn´t fit. In this case wait, until all three turn to the same
(upward) direction. This very often indicates the best point to buy
after a last downward move.
I have only a buy-filter, because every attempt to construct an
according sell-exploration lead me to the result, that stochastic is
very unreliable on the sell-side!
{Stoch Buy}
Stoch(25,18 ) < 40 AND Cross(Stoch(25,18), Mov(Stoch(25,18 ),3,S))
AND
Stoch(15,9) > Stoch(25,18 ) AND Stoch(15,9) > Mov(Stoch(15,9 ),3,S)
You see, it´s not complicated and the first line is very arbitrary,
but 40 is the value that showed good results.
You noticed perhaps, that the stochastic 5/3 doesn´t show up in this
filter.
The reason is, that it changes often direction and if it is not
complying with the others I delay a buy until it does!
buy:
Stoch(5,3) > Ref(Stoch(5,3),-1) AND Stoch(15,9)> Ref(Stoch(15,9),-1)
AND
Stoch(25,18)>Mov(Stoch(25,18),3,E)
sell:
Stoch(5,3) < Ref(Stoch(5,3),-1) AND Stoch(15,9) < Ref(Stoch(15,9),-1)
AND
Stoch(25,18) >Mov(Stoch(25,18),3,E)

"For example do you want to enter a trade when %K crosses %D and the
20 or 80 line is crossed?"
Yes George,what I want ,if possible,is to optimize either the %K and
%D crosses and it numbers, and also optimize the 20/80 numbers lines
everything in one formula. I don't know if it's correct to manipulate
the 20/80 numbers or if those numbers are fixed. If not correct, I'm
looking to a formula to found only the optimum number to %K and %D
numbers where to enter a trade when %K crosses %D and the 20 or 80
line is crossed as you write above. With my formula I try one time
and it optimize the %K and %D numbers and the 20/80 numbers, but the
results are negatives, with TBR the securitie I used.
The trouble is that the indicator will not usually cross the 20 or 80
line on exactly the same day as %K crosses %D. This means you have to
decide if you want the 20/80 line to cross first or he %K %D line to
cross first. Then simply write your rules using an Alert to keep one
or the other condition true while waiting for the second cross. The
Alert() function is used for this purpose. In the following
example Alert(condition,10) keeps the Alert condition true for 10
periods to wait for the second cross. To increase this alert period
simply increase 10 to a larger number in the formula rules.
You could set an Alert() period. This could tell the System Tester
that Stochastic must cross the 20 or 80 line first and after that the
%K crossing %D would trigger a buy or sell.
The rules for something like this would be:
Enter Long:
Alert(Cross(Stoch(5,3),20),10) AND
Cross(Stoch(5,3),Mov(Stoch(5,3),3,E))
Close Long:
Alert(Cross(80,Stoch(5,3)),10) AND
Cross(Mov(Stoch(5,3),3,E),Stoch(5,3))
Enter Short:
Alert(Cross(80,Stoch(5,3)),10) AND
Cross(Mov(Stoch(5,3),3,E),Stoch(5,3))
Close Short:
Alert(Cross(Stoch(5,3),20),10) AND
Cross(Stoch(5,3),Mov(Stoch(5,3),3,E))
You could optimize this test by replacing any number in the rules with
an OPT variable. For example Stoch(5,3) might become
Stoch(OPT1,OPT2). OPT1 might represent any number from 5 to 25 and
OPT2 could do the same.
