Lynn,
Let me interject something that you may want to check.
The variables that Jose' used were:
{ Variables }
pdsK:=3;
pdsSlow:=14;
pdsD:=3;
threshold:=50;
With these settings I got a STCH of 51.29 and a SIG of 52.32 on WMT
for the 23rd. Changing the variables to the following:
{ Variables }
pdsK:=14;
pdsSlow:=3;
pdsD:=3;
threshold:=50;
With these settings I got a STCH of 60.86 and a SIG of 53.25 on WMT
for the 23rd.
This is nothing more than a matter of taste as to how many stochastic
periods you use and how much smoothing you do. Some traders like the
former over the latter.
The Signal condition should have kicked out WMT so I'm going to guess
that your data may be a little closer. Unless the precision is
defined, metastock will round off the data which may have happened in
your case. Check the precision function to see how this works.
{ Signal condition }
Stch>signal AND Stch>threshold-10 AND Stch<threshold+10
By all means plot the indicator as Jose' suggest in another window in
order to see the indicator at work.
