Indicator purpose

Ham Stochastic displays the calculated Stochastic value, as well as the current trend direction of the Stochastic curve, which is displayed following the Stochastic value as either 'up', 'down', or 'flat'. In addition to the Stochastic value and direction, the information is color coded to indicate whether the Stochastic value is Oversold or Overbought. Stochastic values that are neither overbought nor oversold are displayed in white.

Settings:General

• Maximum number of bars study will reference - default is Auto-detect.
• Update on every tick - default is Checked - you may Uncheck to improve performance, but the indicator will not be recalculated until the end of the current bar.
• Load additional data for accumulative calculations - default is checked, with a value of 80. This value should be four times the highest value you plan to use for any Length.

Settings:Inputs

• Length1 specifies the period of the Stochastic calculation - default is 17.
• Length2 specifies the smoothing period to calculate the Stochastic FastD from FastK - default is 3.
• Length3 specifies the smoothing period to calculate the Stochastic SlowD from FastD - default is 3.
• Fast2Slow1SlowD0 specifies which Stochastic curve data should be displayed. To display data for FastK - use a value of 2, SlowK (same as FastD) - use a value of 1, and SlowD - use a value of 0.
• OverSold specifies the value at which the Stochastic is indicating an oversold condition. If the Stochastic value is less than or equal to OverSold, the data is displayed in a different color (default is green).
• OverBought specifies the value at which the Stochastic is indicating an overbought condition. If the Stochastic value is greater than or equal to OverBought, the data is displayed in a different color (default is red).
• OSoldFGColor and OSoldBGColor are the Foreground and Background colors used to display oversold Stochastic values. Default is black on green background.
• OBotFGColor and OBotBGColor are the Foreground and Background colors used to display overbought Stochastic values. Default is white on red background.
• NormalFGColor and NormalBGColor are the Foreground and Background colors used to display Stochastic values that are neither oversold nor overbought. Default is white on black background.

Settings:Alerts

This Indicator does not currently support Alerts, but that may be a feature of a future release.

Examples:

There are three pieces of information displayed: The Stochastic value, an indication of whether the Stochastic curve is ascending or descending or flat, and a color coding that specifies whether the Stochastic value is overbought or oversold. As the examples below show, you might have an Stochastic value that is overbought (above the OverBought limit), but the Stochastic curve may be moving up, moving down, or flat. The following RadarScreen shows some examples. The charts below give the details.
