Stochastic Volatility (MT5)

Stochastic Volatility fuses a Stochastic oscillator with a volatility‑aware normalization/filter. Signals adapt to changing volatility: cleaner OB/OS reads, more reliable crosses, and better pullback timing in MetaTrader 5.

What it shows

• %K and %D with volatility normalization — keeps oscillations meaningful across calm/choppy regimes.
• OB/OS zones — typical 20 / 80 (adjustable) with dynamic sensitivity in high/low vol.
• (Optional) arrows/alerts — %K/%D crosses, zone exits/entries, midline (~50) crosses and slope flips.

Trade ideas

1. Trend pullback: in an uptrend, look for dips of %K into 20–40 followed by a %K over %D reclaim; mirror for shorts with 60–80 then %K < %D.
2. Regime‑aware filter: require volatility contraction → trigger for entries after a sharp expansion.
3. First cross after flip: when the composite reclaims 50, the first pullback that holds often continues.
4. (Optional) Mean‑reversion in ranges: fade exhausted extremes back to midline; confirm with price structure.

Inputs that matter

• %K period / smoothing — responsiveness vs stability.
• %D period — confirmation signal.
• Volatility window / method — normalization strength.
• OB/OS levels — defaults 20/80; adapt to the asset.
• Alerts — crosses, zones, midline and slope changes.
• Colors/widths — quick visual read.

Suggested usage

• M5–M15: intraday pullbacks and quick reversions with vol‑filter.
• M30–H4: swing continuations; wait for contraction → trigger.
• Daily+: bias/overheat read for portfolio tilt.
