Overview

Percent K is the close position within the highest high and lowest low over the K length, scaled from 0 to 100. Percent D is a simple moving average of percent K over the D smoothing period. The two inputs set those lookbacks and reject non-positive periods. It draws the percent K and percent D lines only and does not generate trade entries, exits, or stops.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints.
