Fast And Slow Stochastics

Fast And Slow Stochastics (FSST) was authored by U. Jenson for Omega Research, 1997. First, the FSST calculates the Fast and Slow Kurtosis (FSK) using Momentum, previous Momentum and previous FSK (feedback) along with a percentage factor. Next, the FSST uses the FSK and Stochastics for the final calculation. A signal line, which is a weighted moving average of itself, is also given. This indicator’s definition is further expressed in the condensed code given in the calculation below.

Calculation

//input = price, user defined, default is closing price
//method = moving average (ma), user defined, default is WMA
//period1 = user defined, default is 3
//period2 = user defined, default is 6
//period3 = user defined, default is 9
//period4 = user defined, default is 9
//prev = previous, stochK = Stochastis fast K
//index = current bar number

mom = momentum(index, period, input);
prevMom = mon[index-1];
prevFsk = FSK[index-1];
fsk = (.03 * (mom - prevMom)) + ((1 - .03) * prevFsk);
v4 = ma(method, index, period2, fsk);
fastk = stochK(index, period3, key);
slowk = ma(method,  index, period3, fastK);
fsst = 500 * v4 + slowk;
wfsst = ma(method, index, period4, fsst);
