    4 Time Frame Stochastic + WPR Williams Percent Range Strategy for MT4

    This strategy fuses multi-timeframe momentum analysis from the 4 Time Frame Stochastic Forex Indicator with dynamic overbought/oversold insights from the WPR Williams Percent Range Forex Indicator.

    It’s a mean-reversion strategy designed to catch short-term reversals with confirmation from multiple stochastic timeframes, making it ideal for scalping and short-term trading.

    What is this Strategy About?

    The 4 Time Frame Stochastic Indicator displays stochastic momentum readings from four different timeframes in one panel.

    This allows traders to gauge broader momentum alignment and avoid entering trades against the dominant movement.

    The WPR Indicator measures overbought and oversold conditions, providing clear entry areas where reversals are likely to occur.

    When both indicators show price is oversold or overbought across multiple timeframes, it creates a high-probability opportunity to trade a short-term price reaction or reversal.

    Buy Setup Rules

    • Check that at least 3 of the 4 stochastic readings in the 4 Time Frame Stochastic Indicator are below the 20 level (oversold zone).
    • Confirm that the WPR Indicator is also below the -80 level, signaling oversold conditions.
    • Enter a buy trade at the close of the first bullish candle after both indicators confirm.
    • Stop Loss: Set below the most recent swing low or 10–15 pips, depending on the timeframe.
    • Take Profit: Use a 1:2 risk/reward ratio or exit when stochastics and WPR exit the oversold zone.

    Sell Setup Rules

    • Wait until 3 or more stochastic timeframes are above the 80 level (overbought) in the 4 TF Stochastic Indicator.
    • Confirm the WPR is also above the -20 level, indicating overbought conditions.
    • Enter a sell trade on the first bearish candle close after both indicators are overbought.
    • Stop Loss: Set above the recent swing high or 10–15 pips above the entry.
    • Take Profit: Use a 2:1 reward-to-risk or exit once both indicators fall back below overbought levels.

    Advantages of the Strategy

    • Double confirmation from stochastic and WPR improves accuracy.
    • Multi-timeframe momentum check avoids trading against the broader direction.
    • Simple to follow and does not require complex chart setups.
    • Works well on M15, M30, and H1 charts for fast-paced traders.

    Drawbacks

    • It may produce false signals in strong trending markets if used without additional filters.
    • Requires patience — ideal setups don’t occur frequently.
    • Short-term mean-reversion entries can be vulnerable to sudden volatility spikes.

    Conclusion

    The 4 TF Stochastic + WPR Strategy offers a powerful way to trade short-term price reversals with enhanced confirmation.

    It avoids weak signals by requiring alignment across multiple timeframes, and is especially useful for scalpers and day traders looking for precise turning points.

    Always test it on a demo account and consider combining it with trend filters for maximum consistency.
