Stochastic Pop

Stochastic Pop distills the stochastic pop tactic to its cleanest form: a fast %K whose surge through its ceiling is traded as ignition, not a stretch to fade. The pane draws %K over dashed Pop and Drop Thresholds, shades a gradient beyond either band and marks filtered triggers and exits, while a checklist dashboard reports the higher-timeframe trend, ADX, %K zone and active state.

How to Trade the Stochastic Pop?

• %K crosses above the Upper Threshold: with every enabled screen aligned, a Bullish Pop Trigger prints and the state background switches on. Continuation is favored while %K holds above the line.
• %K plunges below the Lower Threshold: the mirrored Bearish Drop Trigger, read as downside ignition.
• %K hooks back through its threshold: the exit cross: the embedded reading is lost, the burst treated as spent.

The screens raise conviction: the ADX filter demands a market that has been resting rather than running, and the trend filter demands alignment with the higher-timeframe EMA. As with most momentum tools, the cleanest bursts erupt from a quiet backdrop.

Stochastic Pop Settings

• %K Length (default 14): lookback of the raw stochastic.
• %K Smoothing (default 1): SMA on %K; 1 keeps the raw line.
• Upper Threshold (default 80) and Lower Threshold (default 20): the ignition lines.
• ADX Contraction Filter (default enabled): triggers require ADX under the Below ceiling (default 20) at the ADX Length (default 14).
• Higher Timeframe Trend Filter (default enabled): alignment with an EMA (default 20) on the trend Timeframe (default W).
• Volume Expansion Filter (default disabled): trigger volume must exceed its Volume Average Length (default 20) average.
• Dashboard and style toggles cover the checklist table, markers, state background and colors.
