Stochastics Fast Indicator
07.01.2012
Stochastics indicators measure an instruments current position in relation to the high and low points over a set duration. The indicator is expressed as a percentage. There are many different types of stochastics, including fast and slow. In this blog post, we will be looking at Stochastics Fast indicators.
Stochastic Fast is calculated as:
%K = [(Close - Low) / (High - Low)] x 100
%D = Simple moving average of Fast K (usually 3-period moving average)
In general, Stochastics are used to indicate whether an instrument is oversold or overbought. 80 or above is usually considered overbought, whereas 20 and below is thought of as oversold.
If you wish to apply the Stochastics Fast Indicator go to:
Trading > Charts > 
> Oscillators > Stochastics Fast (FST)
The screenshot above shows the Stochastics Fast indicator menu which allows you to adjust the moving average period as well as how other calculation details to suit your personal preferences. You can also adjust the display settings. Once you are happy, click ‘OK’.
