Hi Jason,
The settings on the Stochastic Oscillator depend on personal preferences, trading style, and timeframe. We are using the default: 80 as the overbought threshold and 20 as the oversold threshold.
Futhi, for the profit target, do you use the resistance from higher time-frame or entry(1ihora)?
Do check the lower and higher timeframe chart for resistance. This will helps.
