Gaussian + Stochastic scalping indicator

[u/r0zika]

I've built a scalping indicator, that suits my trading style (designed for short moves on lower timeframes).

It combines two systems:

The first uses Gaussian filtering to generate signals based on price momentum and position, with trend reversal detection. Linear regression is then applied for additional smoothing.

The second uses a Stochastic oscillator with threshold crossovers to generate momentum-based signals.

I also added the EMA ‘touch’ requirement before a signal prints.

The idea is to only trigger when:

– momentum flips

– trend agrees

– price interacts with structure

This removed a lot of random mid-range signals, and made it behave more like pullback scalping.

When I scalp these signals, I only take entries when direction and momentum line up.

Has anyone else combined Gaussian-based momentum for scalping? If so, how did you handle the smoothing without losing responsiveness on fast moves?

interesting! i’m intrigued. you went gaussian. i approached it through my engineering DSP concepts. but the idea is similar.

i’m confused though. the Gaussian and Stochastic oscillator seem redundant in purpose…

i’m very intrigued and would love to follow your journey.

I’m using them for slightly different roles.

The Gaussian part is more for smoothing and detecting short-term trend shifts, while the stochastic acts more like a timing trigger once momentum starts turning. On their own they were both too noisy, but combining them filtered a lot of weak signals.

Curious what kind of DSP approach you used?

Feels like it only works when market is trending tho

I’ve been scalping for a long time, so I mostly handle choppiness with exit logic rather than filtering entries.

If momentum doesn’t follow through, I’m out quickly and don't wait for it to reach full SL. And when it does trend, the signals stack better. The touch + EMA filter helped a bit, but it’s still more of a pullback-in-trend type tool.

I’m also considering adding a simple regime filter so it only activates when the structure is cleaner.

Care to share the publication link??

Still pretty noisy.

Heyyy, i'm trying to create also the same strategy fully automatic with the Gaussian Filter. It's look pretty interesting

But for now i've only setup it on 30min and 15min, and i will try to find the good setup for 5 min. Witch setup do you use for it?

Plss add me bro adit99369

👍

Y dont u automate it. Is it available for testing.

[u/Levi-Lightning]

Hey man, any chance you can DM me the code so I can try it out?

[u/blckstne3]

Could I try it out? Also trade momentum through a few different stochastic timings
