File Name: PriceAndStoch.efs

Description:

This formula converts the Stochastic outputs to the price scale of the chart to create an overlay of the Stochastic where the study shares the same y-axis as price. This creates a fixed, or scaled, relationship between the price and the Stochastic study.

Formula Parameters:

• %K Length: 14
• %K Smoothing: 1
• %D Length: 3
• Length for Scaling: 50

Notes:
The "Length for Scaling" parameter determines the conversion factor for the Stochastic outputs. The basic rule of thumb here is to enter a number equal to the number of visible bars in your chart.
