Overview

KDJ finds the highest high and lowest low over the length with deque buffers, converts close into a raw stochastic value, and smooths K and D with Wilder-style RMA controlled by the signal period. The function returns K, D, and J. Length and signal change the lookback and smoothing, and an explicit warm-up correction scales early recursive values. It has no trade entries or exits.

Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints.
