Stochastics are an oscillator. They consist of two curves called the %K line and the %D line, and are controlled through two parameters, n and m, specifying a number of periods. Both the %K and %D lines are plotted on a scale of 0 to 100. They measure where the closing price is in relation to the total price range of the selected number of periods.
\nIt is based on the assumption that in a rising market the price(s) will close near the high of the range and in a declining market the price(s) will close near the low of the range.<\/p>\n
The Stochastic Oscillators are typically plotted as 2 lines: %K and %D. %K is the main (fast) line and %D is the signal (slow) line. Fast %K = ((Today’s Close – Lowest Low in %K Periods) \/ (Highest High in %K Periods – Lowest Low in %K Periods)) * 100<\/p>\n %D = 3-period simple moving average of Fast %K<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Stochastics are an oscillator.
