HOW
TO USE STOCHASTIC IN TRENDING MARKET CONDITIONS
As mentioned, in sideways market conditions, the signal that stochastic gives is relatively high, however, in trending market conditions, the signal noise is abundant.

HOW
TO DETERMINE A MARKET TREND
To determine if the market is trending or not, there are In many ways, here I would like to introduce the two most common: using moving average and price action.
Using
moving averages for trend identification
In this method, to
determine trend with moving average we use the SMA50. Basically, when the price moves
below the SMA50, the market is in a downtrend; when the price moves above
the SMA50, the market is in an uptrend; when the price continuously
crossed the SMA50, the market was in
a sideways phase.
[Use 50 SMA to determine trend]
Use
price action to identify trends
Using price action to determine trend we simply observe the location of
the nearest low high. This is a classic but very effective method of trend determination. Basically, when
the market continuously makes higher highs - higher lows mean that buying power
is dominant and the market is in an uptrend.
On the contrary, when the market continuously makes lower highs - lower lows,
the market is in a downtrend.

[Use
top/bottom to determine trend]
Expanding, during a downtrend, if the price fails to make a lower high - a lower low, the downtrend is likely to have come to an end. On the contrary, in an uptrend if the price fails to make higher highs - higher lows, the uptrend is likely to have a reversal on time.
