Fast stochastic

What does Fast stochastic measure?

The raw, unsmoothed stochastic. It reacts faster than the standard one and is noisier for exactly the same reason.

How is Fast stochastic calculated?

Find the highest high and lowest low of the last 14 candles and see where today's close sits between them — that is `k`, with no smoothing at all. `d` is that averaged over 3 candles.

Written by reading the engine’s real computation, not a textbook — where the two differ, the page describes what actually runs.

How do I use Fast stochastic in a bot?

In the builder, add an indicator of type stochf (parameters: k, default 14; d, default 3). Its output series — k, d — become operands you can compare in any entry or exit rule. The engine grades the whole rule honestly: real fills, no look-ahead, half the history held back.
