Comparing Two Smoothed Stochastic Oscillators with a Divergence Line

Summary

The document describes an indicator that plots two stochastic oscillators and can also display the difference between their %K lines as a convergence or divergence line. Users can choose between viewing both oscillators or emphasizing their divergence. This setup offers a way to compare oscillator readings calculated with different parameter sets.

The indicator exposes adjustable periods for each oscillator’s %K, %D, and slowing calculations, along with smoothing choices such as simple or exponential. It also allows overbought and oversold levels to be set. These controls change how the oscillators are calculated and displayed, but the document supplies no default parameter values, trading rules, chart examples in text, or performance results. The indicator describes relative movement between two stochastic calculations; it does not establish that a divergence signal predicts a reversal or provides an entry and exit method.

Key ideas

• The indicator can display two stochastic oscillators or a line comparing their %K values.
• Each oscillator has adjustable periods, slowing, and smoothing settings.
• Overbought and oversold thresholds can be customized.
• The document describes an indicator, not a tested trading strategy or predictive result.
