Returning Stochastic %K-%D as value in Market Analyzer indicator

[jkmott59]

Hi all,

I'm interested in the stochastic value of %K-%D as a column in the Market Analyzer. However, the Stochastic Indicator only allows K or D to be returned, not the difference. Would I need to develop a custom indicator to do this? If so a sample code snippet or link to one would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello John,
Thanks for writing in and I am happy to assist you.

Yes you have to build a new indicator to calculate the difference. A basic code snippet will be:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
	Plot0.Set(Stochastics(7, 14, 3).K[0] - Stochastics(7,14,3).D[0]);  //Plot0 is the Plot data series
}

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.
