A Configurable, Non-Repainting Step Stochastic Indicator
Summary
The document describes an updated step stochastic indicator and lists changes to its implementation and configuration. It says the calculation has been rewritten as a reusable function, with alert support and multi-timeframe operation. Users can choose among price-smoothing average types, select smoothed or regular ATR for the calculation, and use a range of price definitions. The stated default applies mild price filtering, which the document says reduces false signals without adding lag.
This is a feature overview rather than a full explanation of the indicator formula or a trading strategy. It provides no charts, signal rules, backtest results, or comparative evidence for the claim about fewer false signals or limited lag. It also does not explain how the settings affect behavior across markets or timeframes. Traders would need to inspect the calculation and validate its signals and configuration choices before relying on the indicator.
Key ideas
- The indicator is described as non-repainting and supports multi-timeframe use and alerts.
- Its calculation is packaged as a function that can be reused in other code.
- Users can configure price smoothing, ATR treatment, and price inputs.
- The default applies mild filtering, which the document claims reduces false signals without adding lag.
- No formula details or performance tests are provided.
