The Night Stochastic strategy trades only during the quiet night session from 21:00 to 06:00. It uses the %K line of the Stochastic Oscillator to detect oversold and overbought conditions.
When the oscillator drops below the oversold level a long position is opened. When it rises above the overbought level a short position is opened. Each trade is protected by fixed stop loss and take profit levels measured in price points.
