Executive Summary
  • Schaff Trend Cycle is a charting indicator used to help spot buy and sell points in the markets.
  • Compared to the popular MACD indicator, STC will react faster to changing market conditions.
  • A drawback to STC is that it can stay in overbought or oversold territory for long stretches of time.


General Usage
There are two lines indicating overbought and oversold conditions, default at 75 and 25 which is customizable of course.
Signals are created on line crosses. They that can be used to enter LONG/SHORT or EXIT a trade.
If the STC crosses the lower line upwards a LONG signal is triggered and if it crosses the upper line a SHORT signal is triggered.
Line crosses in the other direction than the current trade also work as EXIT signal.


Alerts

Traders can easily use the reversal signal to trigger alerts from:
  • Cross Up
  • Cross Down
Those values are > zero if a condition is triggered.
Alert condition example: "Cross Up" - "Greater Than" - "0"
