Stochastic Oscillator
George C. Lane developed the Stochastic Oscillator in the late 1950s.
It’s
a technical indicator which compares a stock's closing price to its
price range over a given period of time. The belief is that in rising
market stocks will close near their highs, while in a falling market
they will close near their lows.
The Stochastic Oscillator contains four variables:
1) %K Periods: This is the number of time periods used in the stochastic calculation.
2)
%K Slowing Periods: This value controls the internal smoothing of %K. A
value of 1 is considered a fast stochastic while a value of 3 is
considered a slow stochastic.
3) %D Periods: This is the number of time periods used when calculating the moving average of %K.
4) %D Method: The method (Exponential, Simple, Time Series, Triangular, Variable, or Weighted) used to calculate %D
Signals for buying & selling:
-
The signals of buying given when oscillator (either %K or %D) falls
below the line, and then again crosses the bottom level upwards or when
the curve %K crosses the curve %D from below upward.
- The signals
of selling when oscillator grows above the line, and then crosses the
top level downwards or when the curve %K crosses a curve %D from top to
downward.
