What it shows
%K and %D in a pane: where the close sits within the recent high-low range (0-100).
How to read it
Part of Swiftedge Plus: it runs in Depth on the real trades and order book, with its own settings. Members turn it on under Indicators; the guide explains every setting.
How it's calculated
%K measures where the close sits in the high-low range of the last 14 candles, from 0 at the low to 100 at the high, smoothed over 3 candles. %D is a 3-candle average of %K.
What it can't tell you
Stochastic reacts quickly and can stay above 80 or below 20 for long stretches when a market trends.
