Stochastics can be either fast or slow. This speed doesn’t relate to the amount of time periods that it covers, but how fast it’ll reply to a change in direction from bullish to bearish or vice versa.
There’s also a signal line %D which is a three period moving average of %K. Stochastic based trading systems usually take a signal from the crossover of the two lines %K and %D.
The fast stochastic was the 1st and is still the main stochastic indicator used by traders. However, some traders find it replies to changes in movements in prices too fast, leading to a premature signal. Therefore slow stochastics were developed. Clearly this is going to reduce sensitivity to minor variations in price. The slow indicator is therefore the one that is most often used by day traders. It decreases the chance of coming to the market on a false signal and also forestalls closing out of a trade too shortly.
Part of the fact that stochastics are sometimes ignored by day traders is that they focus on the fast stochastic while actually the slow stochastic would serve them much better. It can be very effective, so take a look at it in your charts or look for a technical charting service that provides it.
