Original Algorithm = [Moving Average (Closing Range)]/[Moving Average (Total Range)]
Simplified Algorithm = Moving Average [(Closing Range/Total Range)]
Closing Range = Close – Range Minimum
Total Range = Range Maximum – Range Minimum
Slow Stochastics Parameters
S STO
• Display
• Algorithm: The Algorithm for calculating the slow stochastic. Choices include:
Original or Simplified. The Original algorithm smoothes the close minus the range
minimum and the range prior to dividing them. The Simplified algorithm divides the
close minus the range minimum and the range prior to smoothing.
• Period: Defines the time period for an unseen Fast %K, needed for calculating the Slow
Stochastics.
• Price: The price used for the calculations.
• HiLevel: Selects the price used for the high level in the range.
• LoLevel: Selects the price used for the low level in the range.
• OB/OS
S STO %K and %D
• Type: The type of moving average used for the Average True Range calculations.
Choices include: Simple, Smoothed, Exponential, Weighted, and Centered.
• Period: Defines the time period for Slow %D and %K.
