PriceH |
Numeric |
Specifies which bar value (price, function, or formula) to use for the high in stochastic calculations. |

Specifies which bar value (price, function, or formula) to use for the close in stochastic calculations. |
|
StochLength |
Numeric |
Sets the number of bars to consider. |
|
SmoothingLength |
Numeric |
Sets the constant to use for smoothing the K line. |
