stoch_d

Stochastic %D (Slow Stochastic - MA of %K)

stoch_d(k_period, d_period, matype="sma")

Parameters

Name Type Description
k_period int Period for %K calculation
d_period int Period for smoothing %K into %D

Formula

%D = MA(stoch_k(k_period), d_period)

Examples

stoch_d(14, 3);  # Standard slow stochastic
stoch_d(5, 3);   # Fast stochastic
stoch_d(14, 3, matype="ema");  # EMA-smoothed %D
k = stoch_k(14); d = stoch_d(14, 3); k > d;  # Bullish crossover

Returns

float

Range

k_period must be 2-400; d_period is bound by matype's MA family: 2-210 ema, 2-105 wilder, or 2-400 windowed sma/wma (default)

Notes

Smoother than %K with fewer false signals; %K crossing above/below %D is a bullish/bearish signal, using the same 80/20 overbought/oversold levels
